November will unleash on moviegoers some of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. Sure to be the biggest opener of the month will be “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” which will ease fans into the end of the “Harry Potter” movie franchise. Director David Yates returns to helm the last two installments of the series which will be much appreciated by die-hard fans of the books and movies. Also exciting, and not surprising, is “Deathly Hallows” will be 3D which may result in the movie being just another flop in the 3D craze. Few movies have successfully employed the 3D technology so with any lucky, “Potter” will be able to breathe a second life into the fad.
Also highly anticipated is “127 Hours” from “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle. The film stars James Franco in the true life story of hiker Aron Ralston who must sever his own arm which gets trapped under a rock. The film is a perfect stage for Franco to showcase his ability to hold an audience’s attention for the vast majority of a movie. There have been some reports already out of the Telluride Film Festival that Boyle’s film is too extreme and that some audience members have felt sick after watching the very brutal and realistic portrayal of what Ralston endured. Without a doubt, though, “127 Hours,” Boyle and Franco are all sure to hear their names called when Oscar nominations are announced.
