New Movie Season
I just put the finishing touches on my mega “New Season� movie preview that will run this Sunday in The Sun.
I poured over dozens of films. Watched trailers. Read reviews. And came up with Andy’s First Annual “Top Five Movies I’m Looking Forward To Seeing This Fall/Winter.� You won’t find this list in the mega review – this one’s for all the loyal Ravers out there – all ten of you!
5. “Rocky Balboa�
All right! I know this is going to be a bad movie, but I can honestly say I am looking forward to it. Call it a guilty pleasure. Call it nostalgia. Stallone and Burt Young together again? Hey, why the heck not? It’s Hollywood. If you are counting, this is the fifth sequel in the “Rocky� franchise.
4. “Babel�
Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu concludes his trilogy that started with Amores Perros and 21 Grams. I love the way this movie begins: Two Moroccan boys are in the desert, playing with a rifle when something goes terribly wrong.
3. “For Your Consideration�
Director Christopher Guest (“Waiting for Guffman,� “Best in Show�) gets his buddies together again in the flick about making an independent movie. Eugene Levy and Fred Willard star.
2. “Borat: Cultural Learning of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan�
If you don’t find the title funny and have never watched “Da Ali G Show� skip this movie. On the other hand, this should be good. Really good.
1. “Flags of Our Fathers�
Clint Eastwood directs and co-produces this epic tale of the American Flag raised on Mount Suribachi. Could be this year’s “Saving Private Ryan.�
