1) Grindhouse
From writers/directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, Grindhouse is a double feature that'll tear you in two. First, from Robert Rodriguez, Planet Terror is a rendition of a classic, gory zombie movie. Then, after some fake film trailers, there's Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, a different kind of slasher film: where the killer uses his devilish car against helpless victims.
Starring: Kurt Russell, Rose McGowan, Michael Biehn, Fergie, Freddy Rodriguez, Bruce Willis (special appearance), Naveen Andrews, and Marley Shelton.
2) Black Snake Moan
From director Curtis Brewer, director of Hustle & Flow, comes a very unusual film along with very unusual performances from well-known actors. Christina Ricci stars as Rae, an abused nymphomaniac who can't control herself. Rae is found on the side of the road by Lazarus (played by Samuel L. Jackson), who takes in the unconscious Rae to his home. Rae wakes the next morning to find herself chained up in Lazarus' home in order for him to rid her of the evil that has "possessed" her. Also staring Justin Timberlake, this film looks to be a heavy hitter for a cult following.
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci, Justin Timberlake, and S. Epatha Merkerson.
3) 300
From the visionary mind of Frank Miller, graphic novelist most famous for Sin City and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, comes the epic page-to-screen adaptation of King Leonidas I and the 300 Spartans of the Battle of Thermopylae. Just like its "predecessor" (Frank Miller's film adaptation of Sin City), 300 stays true to its comic book form with stunning visual effects and intense battle sequenses. Surely to be one of the best films of 2007.
Starring: Gerard Butler (The Phantom of the Opera), Lena Headey, and Dominic West.
