Best and Worst of 07

I am going to do a end of the year best and worst list. This will be a list of a few of my favorite films of the last year and a few of the worst. I didn’t get a chance to see a lot of films this year, there are still a few movies that I want to see on DVD. But as for now here you go.

1. 300, I just loved this movie, from the way that it was filmed to the lead actor it was just amazing. We will see big things from its director Zack Snyder His next film will be the cult comic The Watchmen in 09. I have written about how much I liked the 300 before.

2. No country for old men. WOW, I loved this movie on an entirely different level then the 300. Made by the Coen brothers (Fargo) the movie was a gripping take on the novel of the same name. The acting is amazing. Javier Bardem gives a film performance on par with Anthony Hopkin’s Hanniabl Lecter. Tommy Lee Jones will get an award for his role as the town cop that can't believe the way his world is changing.




3. Zodiac. Who could make an entertaining film based on an unsolved case about a serial killer? David Fintcher, that’s who. The camera work on this movie is amazing. They are releasing a 2 DVD directors cut of this film next month and I can’t wait to pick it up.

4 Hot Fuzz , From the guys that brought us Shaun of the Dead, comes the funniest film of the last year. I love the humor and the action in this kind of send up of action films. In The lead actors are just so much fun to watch it made the whole film a roar for me.

5. Harry Potter 5 I like Harry.


Least favorite films of 07

When it comes to movies that I don’t like I pretty much know what I won’t like. I am not going to run out and see Lindsy Lohans latest pile of garbage. But I do have a wife and she likes herself a chick flick. So understand that I might not have wanted to see these films. None of them were in the theater.



Rescue Dawn, I like Christian Bale, I really like him But wow this film was garbage. Starring Bale and Steve Zhan. Rescue dawn is the true story of a Vietnam pilot that gets shot down on his first mission. Then he lives a few years as a POW. Then get rescued.

This movie shows the direct relation of how a poor director can ruin a film. Warner Herzog is the guy that made GrizzlyMan, a documentary that was decent. But he did nothing with a great cast and a great premise for a film. What I don’t get was the buzz about this film it got good reviews but I just can’t see why. I havent disliked a film more in a long time.

Last Kiss, My wife and I like Zach Braff he’s funny on Scrubs but wow what a crap film this was. The movie is about a guy that finds out that his girlfriend is pregnant with his kid and he has a mid-mid life crisis. So he goes and hooks up with a younger chick. Throw in some of his wacky always naked friends that there you go. Stay away.

Waitress, I thought I was going to like this film it was cute and well put together but on a moral ground I hated it. The main character is a you guessed it a waitress that makes great pies and has a A hole of a husband. Well she get knocked up when she was drunk by said husband. As she meet her new Gyno she falls in love and they have a love affaire. My problem with the film is that the doctor is married and she wasn’t a bad wife. So that ruined the whole movie for me.


License to wed We just rented this a few weeks back and I didnt hope for much more then a stupid laugh for two. I didnt even get one out. Really lame unfunny and just stupid. I thought that Jim from the Office would make a better film but NO just another pile of garbage. Here is a Question when did Robin Williams last make a funny movie?

These movies are just bad. I am sure that there are a few more out there but these all came to mind.

Here is another clip from No country for old men to get the crap out of your brain
