Movies I Should Not Have Missed

In 2006, there were a lot of good movies such as Little Miss Sunshine, which the reviewers at INCONCEIVABLE predicted would be a hit independent movie. FAT JACK neglected to see it, but got it for Christmas, so it will only be time before I can watch it and offer my own review of it. There were a few others that I missed this year that you may not have heard of, but that had real potential. I have added them to my Netflix queue and will get to when I can. Especially, Pan’s Labyrinth. That has received wonderful reviews and after watching the trailer, I can't wait to see it. I love martial arts films, so those are always on my list, even if they aren't great films. As for Renaissance, it just looks so interesting to me. I love independent and art house films. The question is, what did you miss this year that you wish you had seen?

Movies To See in 2007 (first six months)

With the new year comes a new film season and there are several good potentials on the horizon. I’ve picked a few that I think will be worth seeing for one reason or another. This pre-view only covers the first half of the year and is split into categories. I haven’t included any storyline information. Watch the trailers and if you find you need more information from there, then you can go find it yourself. I’m too busy. The only thing I want to point out is that “The Hitcher” is a remake and we all know how those go. “Evan Almighty” is a sequel to “Bruce Almighty”.
