What new movies are there in the second half of this year? How many do you recommend?

After the summer vacation flies, Hollywood will usher in the scariest September box office ice age of the year. But it doesn't matter. Major film companies, which always like to fight for the box office while picking up garbage, have already paved the red carpet for the film market after 10. Of course, unlike the stalls in summer, which make people desperately make money, experts who are active in autumn and winter stalls will basically perform their duties, and the soldiers will be divided into two ways: one kind of people will continue to play commercial films crazily-from 007 to Bond girl's waist to the end of the global panic, as long as they have the opportunity to spend money on big scenes, they will not let go; The other kind of people are artificial-from a schizophrenic musician who plays the cello alone to a disfigured grandfather, as long as there is a selling point to please the Oscar, they will try their best to show it, and maybe the new Oscar winner is among them. Ok, now let's start from the beginning. ......

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Keywords: disfigurement-Brad Pitt changed from handsome to ugly, and from ugly to handsome.

Director: david fincher

Starring: Brad Pitt/Cate Blanchett

Release date: 65438+February 65438+September 2008

This strange film looks like david lynch's film. The hero of this film is a weirdo named Benjamin Barton, who came out of the womb as an old man with thick hair and wrinkled face. Strangely, his biological clock goes backwards-the older others live, the smaller he lives. Born in 19 19, this gentleman fell in love with a six-year-old girl named Daisy by accident. After 30 years, they finally "grow" to be similar in age. They loved each other and had the best time of their lives. However, when the "natural law" of girls becoming old women and old men becoming young men gradually became clear, they had to face the most painful choice.

The film's nonsense genes seem to be inherited from last year's sci-fi masterpiece "People from the Earth", but different from the former's single narrative mode, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" focuses on a love story, which leads to a discussion on the value system of human birth, aging, illness and death. In order to play the role of old Barton, the old handsome boy Pete did not hesitate to destroy his handsome face, apparently heading for the Oscar winner; Cate Blanchett, who can do all the roles, seems to be waving to the nomination for best female partner again. As for Finch, who works slowly and does fine work, he silently expects to win completely.

A day when the earth is still, day the earth stood still.

Keywords: destruction-Keanu Reeves changed from saving a car full of people to saving all mankind.

Director: Scott Derrickson

Starring: Keanu Reeves/Jennifer Lynn Connelly/kathy bates

Release date: 65438+February 2008

This film is based on 195 1 version of the sci-fi movie The Day When the Earth Stops, with the original starring Patricia Neal. In this new disaster movie, Keanu Reeves plays an intelligent life from another planet. His sudden visit to the earth told mankind a very bad news: due to the increasing spread of human destructive offensive weapons, it may be blocked by peace supporters from other planets-in other words, if human beings continue to wage war unscrupulously, aliens will simply destroy the earth. This movie is basically the same as the disaster movies such as the comet hitting the earth and the end of the world. It is a routine film with a little thunder and rain, with a fierce beginning and a timid ending. Of course, the earth will not be destroyed, but the big scene of the sky falling must be shown. It is also a pleasure to watch the people on the screen suffer.

In addition to Keanu Reeves, there are two Oscar-winning actresses in this film-Jennifer Lynn Connelly and kathy bates, all of whom are familiar faces.

way

Keywords: escape-Montson, who was beaten in the bathroom, came into this world with his son.

Director: john seale Court.

Starring: Vig Montsen/robert duvall/Charlize Theron

Release date: 165438+20081October 26th.

Canadian actor Vig Montanson, who entered the Oscar competition with David Conanberg's The Towers Kill, starred in the popular disaster thriller Doomsday Danger. The original novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Novel last year. The film tells the end of mankind after being destroyed by nuclear weapons: a surviving father and son are struggling in the ruins of thousands of ghosts singing. Because other survivors are starving, it is inevitable that people will eat people.

In order to protect his son, his father has been pushing a trolley in the supermarket and taking him to the seaside to find hope for survival. However, despair has ravaged them countless times, and the father's physical strength is exhausted, and the chances of his son's survival are getting smaller and smaller. ......

This tragic film will be one of the most promising disaster films this year. In addition to Monteson, Robert Duval, a former Oscar winner, and Charlize Theron, the best actress in the Oscar, will also join The Doomsday, and Gabriel, a character actor who worked with director john seale Hill Court, will also play a role.

Hawkeye

Keywords: Confrontation: Optimus Prime can't stop Shia La Beouf from being captured by the FBI.

Director: D·J· caruso

Starring: Shia La Beouf/michelle monaghan/Billy Bob Thornton

Release date: September 26, 2008

Jerry, a high flyers who dropped out of Stanford University, leads a half-dead working life. Unfortunately, after the sudden death of his military twin brother, everything around him changed: his father's account unexpectedly increased by $750 thousand; A pile of heavy weapons appeared out of thin air in the shabby apartment. Just then, the FBI rushed into the apartment and arrested him as a terrorist. Later, he got into the car of a single mother, Rachel. So Rachel and Jerry are in the same boat. After her son was kidnapped, Rachel had to face a political conspiracy related to Jerry's assassination mission. ......

D·J· caruso, the director of this film, collaborated with Shia Labauve in disturbia last year, which can be described as knowing the root of the story. Labauve, which became a hit in recent two years because of Transformers, raiders of the lost ark and Kingdom of Crystal Skull, is very popular at present. As the top card of this film, the director gave him 166 close-ups eccentrically, which made her partner Michelle Monaghan very depressed. Mona Han is not really a nobody. She was Tom's wife in Mission Impossible 3 and Kathy Affleck's woman in The Missing Baby. However, this oversized vase needs to be honed if it wants to get rid of its fate.

Four christmases, four christmases

Key words: Funny: The Oscar-winning actress who didn't want to have sex was forced to have sex by Vince Vaughn.

Director: Seth Jordan

Starring: reese witherspoon/Vince Vaughn/kristin chenoweth

Release date: 65438+February 2008 1

The so-called "four christmases" refers to a couple whose parents are divorced. When Christmas comes, they are going to visit four old people from different families, so they make a series of jokes. Reese Witherspoon's career has been in a bad state since she won the Oscar for "Walking with the Song", and last year's "Mysterious Clouds" received a mediocre response. However, the scene of this woman divorcing her husband ryan phillippe off-screen and dating Jack Glenhall kept her popularity unbeaten for several years, and her salary rose to the top spot of Hollywood actress inexplicably. However, the process of filming four christmases was not smooth. She hates everything about Vince Vaughn-including the other party's sloppy attitude when filming, disrespect for herself, and naked passionate scenes that break through her professional standards. Witherspoon refused to have sex with this annoying man on the screen, but Vaughan, as the producer of the film, forced Witherspoon to make some compromises. Therefore, for the audience, Witherspoon's final scale has become the biggest attraction.

defiance

Release date: 65438+February 2008

Daniel craig is probably one of the most diligent Bond players in history. Usually, 007' s over-symbolized character attribute often limits the performance of actors in other movies. Brosnan's "Everything Spins" and "Before Sunset" didn't have a good result, but Craig didn't care about 007' s obstacles at all. Since continuous shooting's Golden Compass and Fatal Visitor last year, he has become the most diligent super player.

This year, he relived the warmth with Miss Vespa in The Love of Leftover Temperament, and felt extremely guilty for wronging his lover. When he fought against a criminal organization that blackmailed Vespa, he encountered a more terrible trouble-he had to stop a big conspiracy of a general who was expelled from the government to monopolize resources. Of course, he also wants to have sex with the mysterious beautiful girl Camille.

It's said that Craig has won the lottery on the set, so it's impossible for this episode of "007" to fail. In addition, in order to be worthy of the title of model worker, Craig finished the more difficult "Challenge Nazi" before "Love Left". The film tells the story of a Jewish family who escaped from the Nazi concentration camp and went to the former Soviet Union to participate in the anti-fascist battle. Craig plays an independent guy, leading guerrillas and Nazi Germany to the end. Although there is no big beauty to accompany him in Challenge Nazi, its rough nature is enough for us to see.

007: the rest of the comfort of love

Keywords: Beating: daniel craig, who was gloriously wounded, graced 007 and the guerrilla captain.

Daniel Craig

Release date: 2008 165438+ 10/4.

The body of lies

Key words: Busy: Leonardo holds old Ruth in his left hand and swings his right hand at Russell Crowe.

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio VS Russell Crowe

Release date: June 65438+1October 65438+1October 2008

It's really comforting to think of Leonardo when the Titanic wind just passed. This male star, blinded by fame and fortune and as fat as a pig in a bar, may seem like a flash in the pan to many people, but after martin scorsese's careful training, Leo has become a first-line superstar who straddles the stage, treats people, and has increasingly superb acting skills.

At the beginning of last year, he won the Golden Globe Award for two films, Blood Diamond and Never Walk. The former was nominated for an Oscar. Later, he won great popularity in the world with his independently funded documentary 1 1 hour. This year, Leo, who continued to be busy, handed over his perfect report cards of "The Road to Revolution" and "The Body of Lies".

Among the former, his ten-year reunion with "Old Ruth" will arouse countless fans' infinite nostalgia for a generation of idols; In the latter, he sought advice from ridley scott and learned skills from Russell Crowe. Naturally, he made rapid progress. The Body of Lies tells the story of an Iraqi war correspondent Roger Phyllis, who was employed by the CIA and went to Jordan to track down a terrorist leader. His boss has been controlling his actions remotely, and officials even said that the terrorist leader was negotiating a compromise with the US government, which directly led to the breakdown of the cooperation between Phyllis and Jordanian intelligence organizations. In this movie, Crowe plays Leo's boss. Because they are in different interest camps, they are caught in an endless whirlpool of confrontation. The acting confrontation between the two male stars is the biggest highlight of the whole movie.

Revolutionary road

Key words: regression: If Jack had climbed the block, he and Ruth would be this pair of Dexing now.

Leonardo DiCaprio VS Kate Winslet

Expectation: the road to revolution

Release date: 65438+February 65438+September 2008

10 years ago, when Ruth pushed Jack in handcuffs to the bottom of the sea, we were all crying, and we were all wondering what the future would be like if this embarrassing and evil couple could get married. Ten years later, Revolutionary Road seems to have continued to write this story-love is actually horribly realistic. It is better to drown or freeze to death than to die of depression at the same bedside. Today's Ruth has become a dissatisfied housewife with a lot of desires, and she can't pass her husband all day; Jack has become a decadent employee, who likes to raise a glass to drown his sorrows, and sometimes he will get into trouble if he cheats. This couple, who can't live in peace, are eager to go to France to pursue their dreams and live a different life. But in the end, they spit on each other much more than they did on the ship's side. It can be seen that the road to marriage is the real "revolutionary road". Leonardo and Winslet are undoubtedly a screen couple with infinite feelings. Since 1997, they have become famous all over the world, and both won the Oscar for Best Actor and Actress in 2007. Their miracle can make almost everyone cheer for them. Perhaps Revolutionary Road is not the perfect way for them to meet again, but as long as they appear on the screen at the same time, we will not hesitate to buy it.

High School Musical 3: Senior Three

Keywords: crazy love: Troy and Gabriel are no longer satisfied with singing and dancing, they want to kiss!

Starring: Zach [tom.ch.dot] Efron VS Vanessa [tom.ch.dot] Huggins

Release date: 65438+February 65438+September 2008

This pair of handsome men and beautiful women who flirted with each other in the High School Musical series and confided in each other in the rooftop garden is almost an excellent example of puppy love. However, to the delight of parents all over the world, these two children don't seem to have done anything indecent, except to hug their waist and kiss each other on the beach, or to sing "Everyday Up" hand in hand in a mud shop.

In order to prove that she has grown up, Zac Efron exercises her muscles hard and pretends to be fierce in front of Vanessa. In order to tell each other that she is a big girl, Vanessa will spend two hours choosing a bra and play charming in front of Efron. Now, parents know that it is better to have puppy love than to take their children on blind dates everywhere; Every director knows that "High School Musical" must have a third episode, and making money is a hard job-in this long-awaited latest episode of "High School Musical", Troy, a high school boy, and his dear gabriel are facing graduation, and they are facing different troubles because they want to go to different universities for further study. Before leaving, they plan to call everyone to rehearse a musical to commemorate the past and recall all the good times-thank God! They didn't learn from the shit people in American Pie and turned the dance into a creepy rite of passage.

Australia Australia

Key words: in full bloom-what will happen to an Australian brother and sister and Hollywood box office poison?

New work: Nicole [tom.ch.dot] Kidman VS Hugh [tom.ch.dot] Jackman.

Release date: 2008 165438+ 10/4.

Australia is finally-finally finished!

For this so-called Australian version of Gone with the Wind, poor Ruman has been tossing for five years, dear Nicole has become a mother, and the happy Jackman's youngest son can play with toys. This epic film tells a story that happened during World War II-a famous English lady Sarah inherited a ranch, but unfortunately it was seized by powerful people. In desperation, she had to drive thousands of cows across the Australian mainland with farm workers, when the Pacific War broke out. It stands to reason that Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman are a wonderful pair of Australian sisters and brothers, but too attractive pairing and too strong ambition will often ruin a good chess game. Nicole became a box office poison with The Golden Compass and The Fatal Visitor last year, which basically proved her lack of screen catalysis. These two films also hurt daniel craig. Jackman's last fountain and Voyager this year are also disastrous, and Wolverine next year is urgently needed to save this mess. Whether such a negative lineup can be positive depends entirely on the nature of Ruchman.

Just killing

Keywords: Shuangxiong-pacino won't send another bullet to De Niro, where are our tears?

Starring: Al Pacino VS Robert De Niro

Release date: September 2008 12

David and Thomas, the old detectives who have worked together for 30 years, met a big case before they retired. Judging from the murderer's modus operandi, it seems to have something to do with a big case they closed many years ago. After a series of investigations and evidence collection, they gradually realized that they might have caught the wrong murderer in those years. Thanks to the dedication of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, this man's drama in the form of "double heroes" has become dazzling. This is the cooperation between the two brothers after 1995 "The Line of Theft", and the acting competition between the two leading actors will win the hearts of the people again. However, the only regret is that this time, the two men are not presented in the role of opposition between good and evil, and the dramatic conflict may not be as fierce as that in The Wire-I don't know how many men cried when De Niro was shot and killed by pacino at the airport, but now their ability to solve crimes may be reduced in the sensation index. Of course, on the whole, it is impossible for two old people to come to that station without looking.

Abnormal Traffickers 3 "Transporter 3"

Keywords: hand-to-hand combat-"Mi Shuai" could not compete with "Theodore" for a long time, but Jason Statham didn't believe it.

Starring: Jason Statham VS Robert knapp

Release date: 165438+20081October 26th.

The series "Unusual Traffickers" is the representative work of Jason Statham, a British clown. Although the first two episodes are vulgar films, the exaggerated hot scenes and mindless plots can at least make people feel good.

In this third episode of "Very Traffickers", neither Shu Qi nor amber valletta will partner with Jason Statham. Instead, a perverted man will shock the audience's nerves-Robert knapp, who plays the villain, will be the biggest highlight of the whole film. Knapp, a character actor, became a hit in recent years because of the hit drama Prison Break. His killing "T-BAG" in the play sometimes looks like a rooster, sometimes like a poisonous snake, and his thin cheeks and ghostly eyes even steal Mi Shuai's thunder. In this film, his "animal nature" will make Jason Statham's life very difficult.

Burn after reading, burn after reading.

Key words: group play-robert altman in heaven smiles at the Coen brothers who always give orders.

Director: Cohen Brothers

Starring: Brad Pitt/Francis mcdermott/George Clooney/tilda swinton.

Release date: September 2008 12

Now that the Cohen brothers have been crowned golden statuettes, they can assemble the entire Oscar lineup and stage a large number of plays with no effort. Burn after reading received the courtesy of the opening film in Venice. It tells the story of an unfortunate CIA agent who wrote an ugly memoir to get back at his organization. Unexpectedly, he accidentally left the CD of his memoirs in the gym. After getting the CD, the boss of the gym and the coach intend to beat each other hard. Unexpectedly, the other mistress of the spy wife's lover is the boss of the gym, so a group of men and women with extremely complicated and embarrassing relationships fall into an increasingly chaotic and dark situation in order to gain benefits and cover up the scandal.

Francis McDermott, George Clooney and Tilda swinton are the three Oscar winners in the film, and with the generous help of Peter and john malkovich, the intensity of the whole film can almost rival that of any film in robert altman.

《W》

Keywords: making a mistake-haunted by Oliver Si Tong, the death of President George W. Bushby is still disturbing.

Director: Oliver Si Tong

Starring: josh brolin/elizabeth banks/thandie newton/Richard Dreyfus/noah wyle.

Release date: June 65438+10/October 65438+July 2008

W is undoubtedly one of George W. Bush's most hated movies before he left the White House. Oliver Si Tong, who has not lost his temper for a long time, intends to use this film to revive the power of "The Assassination of Kennedy" and "Nixon" and become the most difficult director in history. But then again, although Si Tong's personal political ideas tend to penetrate into movies in a fierce way, his reasoning, judgment and graphic skills are superior to ordinary people, which makes Si Tong's political movies controversial, but his inherent strict logic allows him to escape the apology of grandstanding, which may be different from Fahrenheit 9 1 1 and Death of the President.

This film will begin with George W. Bush's cowboy years in Texas, and then tell his past experiences such as gambling and alcoholism when he was studying at Yale University, and even review the past three private words of George W. Bush to his son. The whole film is aimed at George W. Bush's various performances before and after the Iraq war. "W" may be the heaviest group drama performance lineup on American screens this year. No matter how restored josh brolin plays George W. Bush, elizabeth banks plays Laura, thandie newton plays Secretary of State condoleezza rice, and james cromwell plays George H.W. Bush, it is enough to point the finger at the White House of the authorities and perform a living government hero, which shows Oliver Si Tong's amazing courage and bold approach.

soloist

Key words: Man Show-A mental patient, a cellist, jo white making movies for Uncle Oscar.

Director: jo white

Starring: Jamie Foxx/Robert Downey Jr.

Release date: 2008 165438+ 10/2.

British director jo white's emotional attachment to the Oscar is I miss you crazy. Since Pride and Prejudice and Atonement have become the darlings of Thunder, White, who always loses at the door, intends to touch the Oscar with this man show movie. The film tells the story of the friendship between the cellist Nathaniel Ayers, who suffers from schizophrenia, and Steve Lopez, a reporter from LA Times.

In order to make this biopic meet the Oscar standard, White specially invited two biopic masters to play opposite him as Jamie Foxx of Ayers, who won the title of Best Actor in 2004 for "The King of Spirits". Robert Downey Jr., who plays Lopez, entered the film emperor competition with Chaplin with 199 1. With the joint efforts of two guys with high popularity, "Dugu" is supported by two awards even if it is not nominated for best film.

Milk milk

Keywords: Challenge-If Brokeback Mountain is just the beginning, then milk is willing to be the climax.

Directed by Garth Van Sant

Starring: sean penn/emil Hesky/james franco/josh brolin.

Release date: 65438+February 5, 2008

Another biopic. After being ruthlessly excluded from the Venice Film Festival, this film by Garth Van Sant intends to focus on the Oscar. Harvey milk, the hero of the film, made his homosexual identity public for the first time in 1970s, participated in the election for important government positions, and finally became a San Francisco government official. Unfortunately, milk and his political ally George Moscone were finally killed by the conservative Dan White. Milk is played by sean penn, a former Oscar winner, and emil Hesky, who co-starred with him in fistful of dollars last year. josh brolin, who plays George W. Bush in W, plays Dan White. For sean penn, shaping a homosexual who participates in politics is basically to win the Oscar for Best Actor. For Santer, this movie is also a magic weapon for him to expect to eat the Oscar after he has tasted the Palme d 'Or. It is worth mentioning that the Oscar prospect of this film seems to be not wonderful: Brokeback Mountain was so popular three years ago that it lost to Crash at the last minute, which shows that the mainstream of the United States has not fully understood the theme; But on the other hand, it is precisely because of the failure of Brokeback Mountain that milk provides an opportunity for the college to make compensation.

Dialogue between Foster and Nixon Frost/Nixon

Keywords: right-wing politics is always a fashionable topic, and Ron Howard often thinks so.

Director: Ron Howard

Starring: Frank Longoria/michael sheen

Release date: 65438+February 26th, 2008

The dialogue between Foster and Nixon was adapted from peter morgan, winner of the Best Screenplay Award of the British Film Academy. The time background of the story is set several years after Watergate, and former US President Nixon was forced to step down and remained silent for a long time. However, on 1977, he accepted an exclusive interview with david fuster, a famous British TV presenter. In this interview, he told the media about Watergate and himself for the first time. Host Foster will be played by michael sheen, who plays British Prime Minister Tony Blair in The Queen, and Nixon will be played by Frank Langella. As a matter of fact, these two actors have already played their respective roles on the stage of West End of London and Broadway, and now they are naturally familiar with the roles when making movies. Critics think they are all strong contenders for next year's Oscar. For Ron Howard, who won the Oscar for Best Director for A Beautiful Mind, his most coveted award is naturally the best film. However, due to the combination of political films and biographies this year, the trip of "Foster Dialogue with Nixon" for the Olympic Games is still unclear.
