The 2006 Movie Preview - Part III
So, my top ten is done. What else am I looking forward to over the coming year? Lots, I guess. Superman Returns by the genius that is Bryan Singer is a no-brainer, as is Munich - hardcore Spielberg at last.
Walk the line, a biopic of Johnny Cash's early life appeals to me, as does the wonderfully titled Snakes on a plane starring Sam Jackson. Deja Vu is this year's actioner from Tony Scott starring Denzel and The Black Dahlia featuring the ubiquitous Scarlet Johansson promises labyrinthine mystery on a par with LA Confidential, and a return to form for De Palma.
The Proposition looks a fairly uncompromising western, and The Assasination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford, despite having the longest title ever, looks a solid enough bet for a good night out.
There are others but I'm all filmed out currently. Just one more thing, then that will be the end of movie previews for now - I think if pushed I would say The Da Vinci Code is my most wanted movie. Despite my disinterest in Hanks the cast is fantastic, the source material some of the most entertaining hokum I've ever read and the film itself something I've wanted to see since I first read the book. I want to see how well it turns out, if its how I imagined it and if its as exciting on screen as in text. Time will tell but for those reasons I make this film my number one wanted this year.
Cheers,
Godfather.
