As regular visitors to this site will know, I’m a big movie fan. I’ve seen some good films in 2006 – which I’ve reviewed here<\/a> – and there are plenty more coming in 2007. Among the movies that I’m particularly looking forward to viewing next year are the following:<\/p>\n

“300” centred on the legendary Battle of Thermopylae when 300 Spartans took on an army of 260,000 Persians.\n

“American Gangster” – director Ridley Scott and actor Russel Crowe of “Gladiator” fame reunite for this crime drama.\n

Babel” starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett as a married couple on vacation in the Moroccan desert.\n

“Blood Diamond”, an action movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990s Sierra Leone.\n

“The Golden Compass” which is an adaptation of the first of the three books making up the amazing Philip Pullman trilogy of “His Dark Materials”.\n

“Grindhouse” which is in fact a double movie: “Death Proof” directed by Quentin Tarantino and “Planet Terror” directed by Robert Rodriguez.\n

” Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix” which should be the darkesat HP film yet.\n

“I Am Legend” – a remake of the science fiction novel originally shot as “The Omega Man”.\n

“Letters From Iwo Jima” – director Clint Eastwood’s Japanese take on the battle covered in the current “Flags Of Our Fathers”.\n

“A Mighty Heart” strarring Angelina Jolie in a bio-pic about the killing of the “Wall Street Journal” reporter Daniel Pearl.\n
