I Want To See...

Forget about Transformers, Shrek 3, or Harry Potter. I'm not going to go wild and dance like a madman when the release dates for those movies comes closer. Okay, my childhood was pretty normal as I do watch Transformers on the weekends. But somehow when the idea of a live action movie came out, it didn't really put me into a state of anticipation.

So, what are the movies that which I'm eyeing at, you ask?




Sunshine
Director: Danny Boyle
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Rose Byrne, Michelle Yeoh, Hiroyuki Sanada.
Release date : 12 April 2007 (Malaysia)

Danny Boyle is absolutely the most coolest British director which can dish out movies with different genres every time, UK-style. From a zombie-flick (28 Days Later) to a comedy/drama about a kid who stumbles upon a fortune (Millions), his work is absolutely creative and marvelous. 'Sunshine' is sort of sci-fi and adventure, set in the future, and it's about a group of astronauts' mission to save the dying sun. I bet Cillian Murphy's (Red Eye, Batman Begins, 28 Days Later) performance will not disappoint. A word of caution though, Boyle's movies may be stylish and cool, but I feel it might not appeal to all audiences.



The Namesake
Director: Mira Nair
Cast: Kal Penn, Zuleikha Robinson, Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Jacinda Barrett
Release date: 10 May 2007 (Malaysia)

28 Weeks Later
Director: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Cast: Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau Jr, Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Catherine McCormack
Release date: 17 May 2007 (Malaysia)

A sequel to Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later', the story continues on 7 months after the events of the great infection which had destroyed almost the entire Britain. The director for this film sequel has changed, but Danny Boyle is still with the production team. The cast has changed as well, no more Cillian Murphy! Personally, I do enjoy '28 Days Later', because it's not your average 'Zombie-movie'. Anyway, I do hope one thing hasn't change: lots of Zombie-action in this movie. Let the Zombie party begin.




Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End
Director: Gore Verbinski
Cast: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush, Chow Yun-Fat
Release date: 24 May 2007 (Malaysia)

Pirates on a cliffhanger, anyone? I hate movie-cliffhangers, they just leave you nowhere at the ending (think Matrix Reloaded). I do hope that the following last installment of 'Pirates' will not disappoint. The main reason why I'm still watching 'Pirates' is because of Captain Jack Sparrow, or Johnny Depp! He'd earned my vote as one of the interesting movie characters around. Not entirely portrayed as a hero nor evil villain, Jack Sparrow is down-to-earth cool!
