Thought I'd peer into the Hollywood crystal ball for a minute. Get a sneak peek into some 2007 titles. Check it out.
Jan 2007
"The Visiting" starring Nicole Kidman
Plot: Kidman discovering that a alien invasion is imminent based on a study that finds a mysterious epidemic that alters the behavior of human beings. Previously entitled "Invasion".
Padrino's Take: First alien movie of 07.
"Rogue" starring Jet Li, Jason Statham
Plot: An FBI agent seeks vengenence on a mysterious assassin who murdered his partner.
Padrino's Take: Should be good. Handsome rob teaming up with Jet Li. I'm in.
Feb 2007
"Young Hannibal: Behind The Mask" starring Gong Li, Rhys Ifans
Plot: Based on the new novel by Thomas Harris involving a young Hannibal Lecter watched his sister get murdered and eaten by hungry soilders in war-torn Lithuania during WWII. It's the fourth book in the series.
Padrino's Take: Seems like they are trying to hard to breathe life into this story. Leave it alone. Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Red Dragon was enough.
"Ghost Rider" starring Nicholas Cage, Eva Mendes
Plot: Straight from the comic books. In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny's path crosses again with Roxanne, now a gogetting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny's soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery Ghost Rider, a supernatural agent of vengeance and justice. Mephistopheles charges Johnny with defeating the despicable Blackheart, Mephistopheles's nemesis and son, who plans to displace his father and create a new hell even more terrible than the old one.
Padrino's Take: Awsomeness.
_______________________________________________
Not sure what months these are releasing.
Studio's are very vague but here is a list of more for 2007:
(And I'm only listing ones's that I think will be good, great and awesome)
"Grind House" - Tarantino and Rodriguez with another collabo. Horror film.
"Old School 2" - The boys are back, Beanie, Mitch and Frank the Tank
"Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam" - Harold chases Maria and Kumar experiences the fruit of Amsterdam
"Evan Almighty" - Steve Carrell gets his own vehicle again, this time for re-prising the weather man from Bruce Almighty.
"SpiderMan 3" - I think this is coming out in May. Should be sick. Venom is involved. Which is cool, finally a darkside to spidey.
"Pirates of The Carribean 3" - With the success of the latest, this should be another ticket buster.
"Sin City 2" - Yes!
"Used Guys" - starring Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey....Jay Roach is directing
"Live Free or Die Hard" - John Mclaine comes out of retirement to beat interent based terrorists. Yippe-kay ya motherfucker.
"Transformers" - Awesome 80's cartoon some to the big screen . Planet of Cybertron here we come.
"The Simpsons Movie" - Finally I can die in peace.
"The Bourne Ultimatium" - Last chapter to a very entertaining franchise. Jason Bourne.
"Rush Hour 3" - Really? Lukewarm on this one.
"Knocked Up" - Judd Apatow's follow-up to 40 year old virgin.
Some ridiculous titles coming out that will hopefully fail.
"Ocean's 13"
"Alien vs Predator 2"
"Rocky Balboa"
"Rambo IV"
"Fantastci Four 2"
Pop the corn and get the sno-caps.

I'll see Rocky Balboa just to see how far it can go.
Even if it sucks, it will still entertain me.
Yeah but they don't call him Venom, they gave him some other stupid name and according to my source, they don't follow the story line AT all. That shit pisses me off, almost as much as not having Beast in the first X-Men (as he was one of the originals HELLO!) and casting a limp dick like Kelsey Grammer to play him. LAME. I haven't seen X-Men 3 yet, but I've heard mixed reviews.
Fantastic Four was lame and shouldn't have even made it to theaters let alone a sequel.
Ocean's 13 - BARF, it's played out, leave it alone.
Another John Maclaine Movie??? Don't get me wrong, I'm IN LOVE with Bruce Willis but come on...
Pirates 3 - Can't wait to find out what happens with Jack.
Young Hannibal - I agree, this is a lame ass attempt to breath life into a dead franchise. Hannibal was not nearly as compelling as SOTL or Red Dragon.
Rogue - Should be interesting, Stathams hot and Jet Li is one fast mother...
I'm excited for the upcoming comedies! I'll probably see Spiderman 3, just because. I used to love the Transformers, not sure if I'll go see it, though.
No word on the new Stooges movie that the Farelly brothers are supposedly working on?
rev- really? the last rocky was an abomination
dirty- i hate that too, topher grace is also involved in this spidey 3
crass- potential indeed
los- i'll check on it
LOS:
HERE YA GO!

did someone say fantastic four TWO?!?!?!
You know what movie needs a sequel?? JACKASS...now that's a sequel worth seeing.
Jackass is coming out with a sequel
I can only imagine what craziness will ensue in a Jackass sequel.
Sweeeeet.
Yeah, Rocky 5 was bad, but some of the badness was so entertaining to me.
It's one of those movies where some of the bad moments take on cult status, like "GET UP YOU SON OF A BITCH, CAUSE MICKEY LOVES YA!"
BTW...
If you want to do some guest columns on Sons of KC, let me know. I'll hook you up.
