  [*:14l0xuck]

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
 
 
 
With:
 
 
 
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint (all in previous Harry Potter movies)
 
 
 
Directed by:
 
 
 
Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral)
 
 
 
Based on the fourth book in the series by JK Rowling, Harry enters a new year at Hogwarts' school of witchcraft and wizardry. With a new director and a darker book than the previous movies, this one is heavily anticipated, in particular by the loyal Harry Potter fanbase. Whether this movie will do better in being a good movie by itself, instead of heavily relying on knowledge of the books, remains to be seen.

[*:14l0xuck]Walk the Line
 
 
 
With:
 
 
 
Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator)
 
 
 
Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde)
 
 
 
Directed by:
 
 
 
James Mangold (Girl, Interrupted)
 
 
 
Biography of music legend Johnny Cash, who gave his fiat to make it shortly before he died. June Cash (his wife, played by Reese Witherspoon), also died shortly before production, so the cast was left to look through the closets of June (who gave her permission for this, apparently) for inspiration for the role.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[*:14l0xuck]The Aryan Couple
 
 
 
With:
 
 
 
Martin Landau (Crimes and Misdemeanors, Ed Wood (Oscar))
 
 
 
Directed by:
 
 
 
John Haly (unknown as a director, producer of The Last Emperor)
 
 
 
A thriller based on real events during WWII in which a rich Jewish industrialist (played by Landau) seeks a way out of Nazi infested Hungary by trading his company for freedom of his entire family and a plane to Palistine.

I've tried to select notable actors, and their notable appearances in 'known' movies. That doesn't mean the movies were good (or their appearances were good), but it hopefully does mean that people have at one time at least heard of the movie mentioned. Of course, all these actors have played in many other movies, but I wasn't going to convert the entire IMDB database here every week...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Incidentally, I don't think I'm the right person to do this anyway (looks at How2pk and/or mods of this board)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just thought it'd be good to give an overview of new movies every week, as posted in the suggestions topic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, happy viewing, and discuss / review here please!

I'm aware that these movies will not be released everywhere this week. However, it's neigh impossible to make a list of movies that are 'new' everywhere, as just about any notable movie premieres in the US first, but in Europe and other countries later. On the other hand, more cultural / arthouse movies may premiere elsewhere before entering mainstream movie theaters in the US.

I'm hoping on seeing Walk The Line but I'm not really sure yet.

Heh, don't look at me, I'm hardly up-to-date on what's new in cinema.

I dunno about HP... the movies are so blah in comparison to the books... this one looks like it'll be better than the last ones... I guess I'll see it if other people I know are going...
