[teacher girl]

The number 23 was good mostly because you are kept guessing until the end. plus, it's nice to see jim carrey do something that isn't quite "typical" of him!

and shooter........I liked it, but it was your typical 1 against the gov't assisnation/conspiracy theory..........but those are some of my favorite types!

and just from the grapevine, I heard that the assassination of jesse james wasn't all that great........

[Misty]

Wow, I have not seen any of those 30 movies. I think the last one I saw was the new James Bond movie (excellent). Maybe that was last year though.

[Matt]

Still three months to go. Lots of movies left to see.

[jbrown84]

well,

My Top 10 of 2007 (so far):

[Karried]

I should have seen this before I left for the video store. I have Knocked Up ( saw it at the theater) and I got stuck with 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea - remake...lol... why!!!??????
(kids!)

Anyway, I liked the Ultimate Gift... Hated, hated, hated Dragon Wars - left the theater early for the first time in years... maybe ever?

I loved Reign over Me. boo hooed through that one! I also liked Disturbia & Evan Almighty .. certainly worth a rental.. but maybe not full price movie cost.

Thanks for the list! I'll check out some of those at Hollywood video this weekend.

The Eight Best to Date:

Pan's Labyrinth A+
The Wind That Shakes the Barley A
Company of Men A
Eastern Promises A
In The Valley of Elah A
The Queen B+
The Bourne Ultimatum B+
A Mighty Heart B

[jbrown84]

Wow, I can't believe. Someone else who saw The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

[redland]

Wow, I can't believe. Someone else who saw The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

Yes, I saw it at OKCMOA. I don't think it ever made the "commercial" venues.

[Karried]

Loved Pan's Labyrinth.. so hauntingly beautiful.. but very sad and very graphic..

It looks like a fairytale but it's not for the kiddos at all. (Although I took my 14 year old who loved it and was playing the music on his violin that night.. but he's pretty mature).. I wouldn't let anyone younger watch it .. it is disturbing.

I'm going to print out these lists.. I have the Hollywood Video subscription that let's me check out 2 movies at a time and keep them with no late charges.. so I've seen a lot of movies.. but a lot of crap too!

I want to see some good movies!

[jbrown84]

No, it didn't here.

Thank god for the OKCMOA.

.oO(must... get.... out... more)Oo.

[Matt]

well,

Mm-hmm.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Wow, I have not seen any of those 30 movies. I think the last one I saw was the new James Bond movie (excellent). Maybe that was last year though.

If you liked that, go rent 300.

And yeah, I REALLY liked the new Bond.

I've had Pan's Labyrinth laying on the counter for a month now. I guess I should watch it so Netflix can have it back.

The Best....So Far
1. Transformers
2. Zodiac
3. 300
4. The Bourne Ultimatum
5. Eastern Promises

The Meh

Fantastic Four: ROTSS

The Worst...So Far
Spiderman 3


...but there's much more to come. The fall season will usher in lots of good (& bad) choices, more geared toward high praise. We shall see....

[Karried]

ogts... What did you think of Pan's Labyrinth?

Or are you too depressed to comment on it?

It is a dark movie... I want to hear what you thought about it.

JackWonder, I actually really enjoyed Transformers for the sheer entertainment and action. It's a definite must see on the big screen..

I hated Superman 3, too!

I'm looking forward to seeing Heartbreak Kid with Ben Stiller this Friday .. I love his comedy.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

I still haven't watched it. Been busy all weekend.

I'll get around to it this week though

Yeah, you literally can't take TF too seriously, because if you've ever seen the 80s cartoons or not, they are a complete mess storywise.

As well, the entire concept is built around selling toys so for Paramount/Bay/Spielberg & co. to come away with any sort of feasible story would be a major breakthrough....And they did.

Tack on the fact that the special effects were what most movies set out to do and fail; and that is bring something new and original to life that dazzles and entertains...And they did.

Just for fun, throw in the fact that I've always liked the creative aspect of Transformers and the sheer Goosebump Factor I got BOTH times I saw the movie, and it gives me sound reason to make it my #1 movie of 2007.....Even though it's not high-caliber Oscar fare.

I've got Pan's Labyrinth dvr'd in HD, but I haven't been in the right "mood" to see it yet.

Maybe this October will spring a little extra urge to watch it?

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

That's kinda what I was thinking.

[Karried]

I've seen Pan's a few times.... a definite must see movie in my opinion.

The special effects alone are worth watching it.

Transformers... I can't even tell you how many hours I've spent trying to transform the toys! Megatron! ha! Of course, the kids can do it with their eyes closed ... me, on the other hand.. not so much.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

I haven't even touched a real Transformer since I was about 15. I should go buy one for giggles and grins.

15? So your high school pick up line was "hey, want to see my transformer" I bet the girls thought that was really hot.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Nope. My lines were more like "hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"

[Karried]

lol... that was a good one!
