Films I am Looking Forward to in ‘08.
Posted by jtrussell on January 21, 2008
So, let’s see how well I can do at predicting what will be my favorite films of ‘08. (I am exempting ‘07 films that will be released next year (i.e. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days and Paranoid Park). I’ll have to remember to check back hereIn no particular order:
Be Kind, Rewind
Mos Def, Jack Black, Michel Gondry. No matter my hatred for The Science of Sleep, this should be great.
Funny Games
Haneke remakes Haneke. Will be interesting just to gauge audience and critical response.
Leatherheads
I am a sucker for George Clooney in a screwball comedy.
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
What the fuck will this be like?
Wall-E
The beautiful trailer and Andrew Stanton make this potentially very cool.
Get Smart
I was raised on the show, I love Steve Carell. I’ll be there.
Step Brothers
John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell get me to see movies. Its just that simple.
Snow Angels and The Pineapple Express
Two new David Gordon Green films? Where can I sign up?
Where The Wild Things Are
What will Spike be like after a long hiatus and working without Gondry? And how does Dave Eggers fit into the mix?
Bond 22
Daniel Craig is the best James Bond. I said it.
Harry Potter 6
These movies just make me happy.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Fincher and Fitzgerald. I have hopes…
The Changeling
New Clint Eastwood, and written by the guy behind Babylon 5. Two very distinct voices there which has to lead to something interesting.
