New Movies and Box Office Predictions: Breach, Bridge to Terabithia, Ghost Rider

Following last week's selection of two new releases, this week brings with it no less than five new wide releases. Of course, two of those opened on Wednesday, so they have a bit of a head start. Among the other new films are a flaming biker, a traitorous FBI operative, and kids escaping into a fantasy. Who will come out on top? Which ones will be worth seeing? Sadly, I cannot tell you that, but read on and you can get some more information regarding:

Breach. (2007, 110 minutes, PG-13, thriller, trailer) This is a thriller based on the true story of Robert Hanssen, a top level operative who was convicted of selling secrets to the Soviet Union. This story follows the young agent assigned to him in order to gain his trust, and hopefully evidence of his dirty dealings. Hanssen is played by Chris Cooper, and the young agent is Ryan Phillipe. This looks like it could be good; Cooper has turned in some fine performances and he looks good in this role.

Bridge to Terabithia. (2007, 95 minutes, PG, fantasy, trailer) My impressions from the commercials is that I have seen this before — it was called Chronicles of Narnia. I have read that it is, in fact, quite a different story, so there is hope. I just cannot say that the commercials excite me. The story concerns a young boy who befriends the class outsider, and together they create an imaginary world where they rule and can escape their reality. I will be interested in seeing how it turns out, despite my initial reservations.

Daddy's Little Girls. (2006, 130 minutes, PG-13, drama, trailer) This is the latest film from Tyler Perry, and the first one that doesn't feature Perry as his Madea creation. It is the story of a mechanic who is struggling to regain the custody of his daughters. I haven't seen Perry's prior films - I just had no interest - though the story here looks like it could be very good.
