<Edited the thread title from "06" to "07" Hope that's ok?? ^^ 01/26/07 ~Tombow>



Time to discuss films you are waiting for that will be realeased this year. Talk about whether you think they will be good or not or whether you will bother with them at all.

I am looking forward to finally getting the conclusion to the X Men trilogy. Plus its going to be great seeing Kelsey Grammer playing Beast

Also looking forward to The Da Vinci Code. I didn't think the book was that well written but the content fascinated me. It also has personal connections as I live in the town where part of the movie was filmed

I'm looking forward to X3 and the next Pirates of the Caribbean the most probably. Had I seen the first two Mission Impossible movies I might wanna see the third one more. Is the Lady In The Water coming out this year too? O.o

Mission Impossible 3 is being made.. Oh no...
One = Great game!
Two = AWFULL
Three? = Oh boy...

I'm looking forward to Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and X3. Not to much out right now though.

Silent Hill. I have a feeling that I'll either love it or hate it, depends on how they stick to the story. Of course even if it's the most horrible thing ever it still has Pyramid Head. Which makes no sense, but it's still great.

A Scanner Darkly. Seems interesting.

PotC2 and X3. I look forward to these unlike Spiderman 3 and Grudge 2.

da vinci code

We don't get Pirates of the Carribean over here till June/July I don't think. Is it going to be released a lot earlier in the US?

It's out July 7th o.o

X men 3
Pirates of the Caribbean 2

Jurassic Park IV and 007 Casino Royale supposely their both coming out sometime this year.

am looking forward to getting of my bummy school
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and scary movie 4 (just for the heck of it)
There having a Jurassic Park IV (i dont think it would be so great)

Me and a friend are planning on seeing this on her birthday, which happens to be the same day as the movie's premiere^^

I'm waiting for FFVII-Advent Children more than anything, seeing as I'm a Final Fantasy addict^^ Plus, the guy that's doing Cloud's voice in the english version happens to be one of my favorite soap opera actor. *I only watch these things in the summer.*

Hahaha...omg your not kidding are you? JP 4?

Bond has been going downhill very quickly...now from what I have heard they have taken out all the things that make a Bond film a Bond dilm.

Yeah, even just a curiosity alone, I want to see this movie!!
(And, wow, post and tell us which part of the movie we can see your town when the movie comes up!! )

Heh can do, but they made it up so it doesn't look like our Cathedral. Still, here's a pic and I think this window will appear in the film from what I saw of the trailer.

So Purdy

^^ @Chiyo - That Cathedral pic looks awsome!!
Can't wait to see that in the Da Vinci Code movie!!

The cathedrall is beutifull if you stop to look at it, you should all come oever and see it!
Or someone should do a video tour you can download!

007: Casino Royale. I have to see whether or not Daniel Craig rapes Bond's character or not. Yeah, it's been going down the crapper lately with all the shitty movies Hollywood's been making lately.

Woo, seen two of the films I really wanted to. I heard so any mixed feelings about Da Vinci I was unsure, but it was okay even if it dragged in places.

I suppose I'm curious to see Cars, watched Over The Hedge and was dissapointed but thats Dreamworks. The Wild is Disney, so I'm assuming Cars is Pixar?

(btw: its Lincoln Cathedral once they enter 'Westminster')

I'm waiting for that new superman movie!

Im waiting for Spiderman 3.....i think thats coming out in 2007

Definately Cars, The Omen, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift and The Superman movie that's coming out. *More so Tokyo Drift than anything.*

Yep, created and directed by the man, John Lasseter, himself. He's a big Miyazaki fan too. I just hope his work isn't tireing (SP?) out.

Of course, Dreamworks always tries to copy Pixar in someway and make a cash cow. Too bad they always fail hard. Shark Tale? I'll take Finding Nemo anyday.

I'm waiting for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's chest! I believe it's going to be awesome! I absolutely loved the first movie. I hope it's not going to be a weak story, like more 2nd movies are. Oh well, if it is, I'll always have Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom to look at. What more does a woman need?

I agree with you that PoC: Dead Man's Chest is gonna be a great movie, I am actually waiting for that movie too...but the actors.... Orlando Bloom is better off being Legolas and Johnny Depp... He reminds me of the movie, Chocolate Factory.

From what I hear its more based around Jack this time, but they had to keep in Will and Elizabeth for obvious reasons.

Casino Royale, Perfume - The Story of a Murderer, Tenacious D in 'The Pick of Destiny', POTC3, Blood Diamond, The Bourne Ultimatum, Ocean's Thirteen. That's what I'm waiting for.

*sigh* We've got all of two months left, can hardly look forward to 2006 movies anymore.

Seen Cars and really enjoyed it, not seen POTC 2 yet but people have mixed opinions on it...they've taken a lot out of James Bond like Q and cheesy one liners so I dread that, so apart from the campy Xmas films that will probably appear this year is pretty much covered. Maybe I should start a 2007 thread soon.

Right now I'm just waiting for Casino Royale

Might go see it this Saturday, not sure yet, I'm really not keen on the idea of it.

If you do go this saturday , please tell me how it was
i have school for this whole week and i cant go untill next thursday.

I just want to know if its worth seeing at the theater or not , because I have other movies in mind too... !

Ha, after taking me forever to list all that, I don't know most of the movies.

I really wanted to see Pans Labyrinth but our cinema never had it on.

I never got to see 'The Queen' but Helen Mirren is a wonderful actress anyway.

Cars for animated feature hands down, and I really like that 'Our Town' song from it miserable as it is. I haven't seen any of the animated shorts but I once played a part in 'The Little Matchgirl'.

Yet to see Venus and The King of Scotland but we will get them on FilmFour soon.

(maybe you could change this to 'films of 07' mods?)

@Chiyo - That's a great idea!!
You're the thread author, too, so that makes it easy.

And, I agree. I liked "Cars"!!

ETA: Just edited the thread title from "06" to "07."
And, added "temporary" subtitle "and, currently featuring Academy Award talk!" (which will be taken out later...)
Hope that's ok?? Or, you/we can change to whatever you prefer.

BTW, you can talk about BAFTA, too.

No that all looks good...and with your permission...I annouce the Bafta Nominations.

Now with this I can say 'Peter and the Wolf' is my chosen animated short. It was wonderful

Thanks Chiyo!!
Wow, big list for the British Academy Award Nominees also!!
I think it will take a while for me to compare U.S. ones and the British ones...
(both are huge lists!!)

I'm waiting for Spiderman - 3 and Harry Potter , I dont really have much Idea of are the other new movies that are comming out ! I've just seen these trailers as of yet !

For joanne45's choice of winners;
Best Actor; Best Actress; Best Supporting Actor; Best Supporting Actress;Best Director; Best Picture;
Best Editing;
Best Art DirectionBest Cinematography; Besr Original Screenplay; Best Adapted Screenplay; Best Visual Effects;Best Costume Design; Best Make Up;
Best Sound Editing;
Best Sound Mixing;Best Original Score;
Best Original Score;
Best Foreign Language; Best Animated Feature;
Best Animated Short; Best Documentary; Best Live Action Short; five of them win or should win

*; it could be a tie....keep our fingers crossed!

I think Cars deserved to win it , it was really one of the best animated movies made till now !

@joanne45 - Wow, I'm impressed by your predictions!! You know all those movies!!
I have seen only a handful of them yet!!

It they'll be showing on BBC America?



He-heh!
I'm a movie addict for the rest of my life

^^ @joanne45 - You can go ahead and make predictions for BAFTAs, too!!

This year's the British Academy Film Awards will air on BBC America, via satelite feed, on Sunday, February 11, 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
(Also repeats on Feb 12 and Feb 13 afternoon. )

I will be truely surprised if The Queen doesn't pick up anything at the Baftas...or for that matter Casino Royale. It was a good year for films and Britain.

I was looking forward to Beatrix Potter when I first heard about but then I saw the casting and well....I didn't want to know anymore.

I'm looking foward too Ghost Rider and Transformers (if anybody saw the trailer )

Yay! I love movies!

I can't wait until after the Academy Awards... supposedly a lot of movies will be coming back to theaters, and more of them (ie "The Last King of Scotland" - which I'd really like to see).

I enjoy good cinema - which is why it's funny that my first movie-going experience of 2007 was to go and see "Epic Movie" with some friends... it was pretty good, though...

BTW, anyone know what the conditionas are for "best movie of the year"-type categories at these awards competitions? For example, is it possible for an animated movie to win "best movie" at the Academy Awards?

Be sure to mark your calendar. The Oscars aired on Sunday Feb 25th on ABC or check on http://oscars.com/

I could be wrong, but I kind of think so.
I vaguely remember that Michael Moore, who received Academy Award for Best Documentary with Bowling for Columbine in 2003(?) wanted to go for Best Picture with Fahrenheit 9/11 (which is a documentary film, although highly political in nature, and some might disagree that's a documentary film..) for 2005 Academy Award, and campaigned hard for Best Picture, and ended up getting no nomination for Best Picture, nor for Best Documentary.
So, I think it could be done?? Maybe??

Waiting for:

Spiderman 3

Ghost Rider

to be previewed in cinemas 2007...

I just watched 'Children of Men' and that certainly deserves its nominations. I haven't seen a British film that looked like Hollywood could have funded it in a long time.

I'm anxiously waiting for "Sweeney Todd"... whenever that comes out. Most likely this year, if not, 2008. XD

I also really want to see "Spiderman 3"
