I don't remember if I saw any good new movies this year. Oh yeah, I liked Southland Tales. Heh.

 

Honey, we never really go to or rent movies.....so, it's not that you don't remember. You didn't see any. :P (okay, that isn't 100% true - we did go to one movie - A Mighty Heart)

 

However, Pod People was a highlight of the year on VHS.

Not feeling the love for Superbad or Knocked Up.

 

I really liked the Joe Strummer documentary The Future is Unwritten. Um, I can't think of any other movies I saw in '07 that were actually released in '07. I'm waiting for the Simpsons movie to come out on DVD (Tuesday) and I want to see Juno and the Dylan bio.

Juno (saw a pre screening, it was excellent)

Lives of Others (apparently '06 but I saw it on someone elses list and it blew me away so im adding it)

Superbad (moderately accurate description of my life in high school)

American Gangster

 

There's a few i havent seen that i would really like to that im sure would be up there (darjeeling, no country, im not there, savages, atonement)

Lives of Others (apparently '06 but I saw it on someone elses list and it blew me away so im adding it)

Since release dates vary from region to region, I always go with when a movie first became available in my area. Lives of Others, for example, was a 2006 release, but wasn't released in Milwaukee until later in 2007, so it's eligible for my 2007 list. Such are the vagaries of film distribution.

 

The same reasoning explains why I think Killer of Sheep qualifies for my 2007 considerations, even though it was first screened in 1977.

i saw the Assassination of Jesse James...the other day. excellent movie. the acting was incredible, especially Brad Pitt. i can see people complaining about the lengh and pace of it, but i found it pretty captivating. i would say that it is a close second behind No Country for Old Men for my favorite this year. the one movie that i am really looking forward to is There Will be Blood.

The Bourne Ulitmatum

Michael Clayton

No Country for Old Men

Knocked Up

Star Dust

 

(I have to work around what I can talk the wife into going to see...she walked out of NCfOM)

 

In an unrelated note...the NEW LINE CINEMA must be crapping in their pants at the poor box office numbers for THE GOLDEN COMPASS. Even the supposed bad press about the anti-religious theme hasn't generated any interest in this movie.

 

Down-Town, Toodles, All the young girls love...and I saw it last night. What a mess that movie was. Don't think we'll see parts II an III of this mess of a series.

:w00t You've seen this already?

 

The New Yorker had a stunning review of it ... and they hate everything -- for praise to be so liberally heaped upon a film is quite odd in those pages.

I would like to see There Will Be Blood - though Graham is apprehensive. He says he doesn't know if he can stomach another film with a grimacing Daniel Day Lewis.

 

We saw a trailer for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - it made me feel itchy.
