2007 Movie List - Becky style
This will be constantly edited and updated! Movie reviews will be posted after I've seen some of these films. :)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (VI) - usual cast - a few come backs. This one looks so promising...
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End (III) - fitting how they used 'end' in the final installment - and also a blessing. It's over. Finally we will see this monster of a trilogy through and be done with it. Fine.uh.lee. I love Pirates, kids. But, well, it's been too long and too much and they story is turning to dried seaweed. Thanks for wrapping it up!
The Simpsons Movie (I) - long time coming - usual cast - perhaps the end of an era (fan can only hope).
Tinker Bell (I) - Brittany Murphy. Kristin Chenoweth. Cool. We shall see.
Shrek The Third (III) - The final? installment of ogre-based cgi...animated...whatever. I bet I'll go and laugh and buy it on DVD. But I can't say much else at the moment. Onto the rest of the cgi green guys...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I) - oh hell yes! Patrick Stuart, Kevin Smith and Billy West. Here's hopin'.
Spider-Man 3 (III) - I'm not a fan of these films, and I don't own any of them, but I would like to see what they've cooked up for the finale. Hope it kicks ass.
Sweeney Todd (I) - Johnny Depp. Tim Burton. Helena Bonham Carter (who has apparently replaced Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci, huzzah!). I know what you're thinking... Burton does Broadway? With Depp? Oh, we all knew it was coming. I just can't wait for a horrendous version of Nightmare Before Christmas to come to the stage.
Alice (I) Sarah Michelle Gellar as Alice - based on American McGee's version of the story (video game).
Bee Movie (I) See for yourself.
Fanboys (I) - popular teen-nerd actors, a handful of sci-fi legends, the trek to see Star Wars: Episode I before any other nerds... Priceless.
Miss Potter (I) I don't like Renee Zelwhatever. <----for those who know how much of a stickler I am for proper spelling can tell right now that I really don't like this woman. I do like Ewan McGregor - and the film is about writing, women's rights and slightly fantasy-themed. So... this is a major maybe. But damn, it's hard to look at her face.
Hairspray (I) - Christopher Walken. James Marsden. Right on.
I, Lucifer (I) & Number 13 (I) - Ewan McGregor: need I say more?
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (I) - Dustin Hoffman. Natalie Portman. An ancient toystore owner hands his empire to the meek, femme store manager. Ok, I'm interested. That's about it.
The Other Boleyn Girl (I) - Natalie Portman. Scarlett Johansson. Sisters! Period film! Who saw this coming? Oh, and Eric Bana.na.
The Nanny Diaries (I) - Scarlett - again. But there's hope in Paul Giamatti and Chris Evans (the crack up Human Torch in the awful Fantastic Four).
Show Business documentary - muck-raking journalist and private issues in the world of Broadway. With Rosie!
Interest Without (Much) Info:
The Season of the Witch.
The Secret Drawer Society.
The Secret World of Superfans (documentary).
Snow Princess.
Soulmates (I wasn't sure to put this here or on the 'Shame List').
Superhero!.
Shame List:
The Sandlot 3.
Saw IV.
Shrek the Halls (TV).
Silk.
Smiley Face.
Epic Movie (this was a toss-up between interested and Shamed... but I saw Date Movie).
Hannibal Rising.
Bridge to Terabithia.
A few in-depth looks. All right, first - for no particular reason:
Tinker Bell - Starring Brittany Murphy (seen looking Tinkish or like Evita...) and Kristin Chenoweth (Cheno, seen here always looking fairy-tastic). Now, I used to have a problem with Brittany Murphy, but from what I've read, she seems enthusiastic about the part (c'mon folks, Tink's an icon) and her performance in Happy Feet was far better than Nicole Kidman's ever hoped to be. So, here's to Brittany not messing it up. Kristin Chenoweth, who played Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked and will voice the role of Disney Princess Rapunzel, well, she's okay in my book. (*Cheno fan*) Anyway, there are only a few other voice talents signed, and they are children, so, we'll see how this goes - slated for release this year... I'm thinking in the fall. Word is that they're waaaay behind schedule. But we'll know a little more in March when the special edition of Peter Pan is released on DVD. The plot follows a similar line that the big Disney franchise 'Disney Fairies' has laid - with it's books and toys and puzzles, etc.
