Hollywood films completely lost steam but Japanese films stood out in 2006. Six films earned more than 5 billion yen respectively such as 'Gedo-senki'(7.7 billion yen), 'LIMIT OF LOVE Umizaru' (7.1 billion yen). Surprisingly, the earning of Japanese films in last year exceeded those of foreign films for the first time in 21 years. Now take a brief look at the films which are released in 2007. First of all, serials in foreign films will be boom. Due to paper constraint, we don't pick up standard films such as 'Harry Potter' ,'Pirates of Caribbean' and 'Spiderman', but pick up films that seem to be interesting to our readers. 'Rocky Balboa', which is released in April, is new one in 16 years directed and starred by Sylvester Stallone, who is 60 years old. Will this movie strike a cord with Baby Boomers? Others are Horror film 'Hannibal Rising', which is released in Golden Week, describing young Hannibal Lecter, the cannibal murder, and action movie 'Live Free or Die Hard', which is released in Summer, describing Detective McLean, who is called unluckiest man in the world, fighting against cyber terrorists.
