These Promising Movies Are Coming Out in November of 2007: November 2007 Movie Preview

I've recently written a few preview articles on upcoming released films; such as, Michael Clayton, and The Seeker: The Dark is Rising. This is a list of more new films you should look for or watch out for. Find out all you need to about these films, and see what I have to say.

American Gangster

Directed by Ridley Scott
Written by Steven Zaillian
Release date: November 2, 2007

It's the 1970s, Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), a kingpin in Manhattan is smuggling drugs into the country inside the coffins of dead Vietnam War soldiers. It's up to one detective, Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) to stop him. This looks like a comeback for Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott. I still can't figure out what either of them need to come back from. I thought that their last effort, A Good Year was actually pretty entertaining. All in all, I'm looking forward to this effort by the two - no, three great talents.

Bee Movie

Directed by Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner
Written by Jerry Seinfeld, Andy Robin, Barry Marder, and Spike Feresten
Release date: November 2, 2007

Let's take A Bug's Life, replace every insect with bees, use Jerry Seinfeld, and you've got Bee Movie. The idea doesn't seem so fresh. A flourist by the name of Vanessa (Renee Zellweger) can actually understand what a bee, Barry Bee Benson (Seinfeld) says. From then on, the two are almost inseperable. She keeps him safe while he tries to better understand the human world. There is also this bizarre plot of suing humanity and taking back the world's honey. I'm hopeful that this is at least entertaining. It might not be a Ratatoille or even a Toy Story, but it's certainly going to be funny.
