2007 is going to be a great year for fresh movies and sequels of the very best of 2006. As such I will share my opinions on what I think will be the top 10 best movies to be released from now onward to the end of the year.

10: Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End

The previous movie in this series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, was a movie split in two and this is the second half (and the final part in the trilogy). I enjoyed the last part thoroughly and as such I am very much looking forward to it's release.

IMDB Plot: Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.

9: His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass

This is the first part of a fantasy trilogy from the author Philip Pullman. It features a very strong cast including Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Eva Green. Critics are already hailing this as the next big thing so I very much hope that it can live up to the hype. It is scheduled for release in December next year, in time for Christmas.

IMDB Plot: In a parallel universe, young Lyra Belacqua journeys to the far North to save her best friend and other kidnapped children from terrible experiments by a mysterious organization.

8: I Am Legend

I am a big fan of survival horror films, with the Dawn of the Dead remake of 2004 being my favourite, as such this film is getting me excited. The film stars Will Smith as the last man alive on earth amidst a world full of evil blood sucking vampires - you can't get much more post apocalyptic than that. I am however unsure how Will Smith will be able to fulfil this role as I still think of him as a comedic actor (although the majority of his recent films were serious roles).

IMDB Plot: Robert Neville is the last man alive. He busies himself with preparing for a nightly attack from the rest of the world - all of which have transformed into blood-thirsty vampires.

7: 300

As posted last month 300 is to be released in early 2007 and is fully completed. This will be the largest budget historical epic film of the year.

IMDB Plot: Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" concerns the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy.

6: Sin City 2
