Your top 10 best/worst movies of 2007

[Karried]

jbrown,

I tried to find Sunshine.. is it even out yet?

Hollywood Video didn't have it.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

lol

[Jack Wonder]

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

Don't do it! I thought I would only buy "one" to celebrate the movie, but my friend and I ended up buying the whole series b/w the two of us!?

[jbrown84]

Karrie, I don't believe it's on video yet.

[Karried]

Thanks Jbrown.. that might be the reason I couldn't find it!

Is it about the Sun? That's what the clerk was saying at the video store.. so I'm not sure I was even asking about the right movie.

[jbrown84]

50 or so years in the future, the sun is dying. The Earth is in solar winter. A ship has been sent with a small crew to attempt to reignite the sun with a special bomb.

[Karried]

Okay, yes, that was it.. just not out yet.

Let me know when you notice it's out.. that reminds me! Today is new release day.. ha,ha.. it's the little things in life!

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Okay, yes, that was it.. just not out yet.

Let me know when you notice it's out.. that reminds me! Today is new release day.. ha,ha.. it's the little things in life!

Sure is...Too bad there isn't anything decent coming out today.

I keep this page bookmarked (it rolls every week), it shows all the main releases each week. CLICKY.

[Karried]

Sweet!

Yeah, you're right.. nothing looks very good does it ?

Hollywood Video - New Release Wall

[Karried]

1408 might be interesting.. I tried to watch 'The Hole Story' last night but kept falling asleep.. not a good sign.

[jbrown84]

Here is the official synopsis. No DVD release date yet.

Fifty years from now, the sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. There is an accident, a fatal mistake, and a distress beacon from a spaceship that disappeared seven years earlier. Soon the crew is fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity. Man's last hope lies with a heroic group of eight astronauts and scientists aboard the spaceship Icarus II charged with delivering a stellar fission bomb into the heart of the sun.

My favorites thus far:

Once

Fracture
Disturbia
Superbad
Breach
Hot Fuzz

[dismayed]

No one has mentioned "Hot Fuzz" yet.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Except MalibuSooner :P

[Karried]

Just saw Heartbreak Kid... pretty funny stuff.. there are a few parts that were seriously hilarious...

I just hate that they show so much of the movie in previews... half the stuff I saw in the movie I'd already seen on the commercials.

Plus, I was a little irritated.. We got passes from our dentist for a referral... and we presented them tonight and the clerk says he can't take them ... he says it's on line 4 - Special Engagement.. 'what'?

I said, 'this isn't a special engagement, this is a regular showing of a regular movie .. he says it is their policy to wait 10 days after the movie is out before taking a pass'.. it doesn't say that anywhere on the pass. But, I wasn't wanting to be late so we just paid but it bugged me.

*Edit, Even though it doesn't say it on the pass, I did look at the website this morning and the movie was listed as a Special Engagement.. I guess they do that for movies that first come out.

OH well, it was worth the $20.00.. it was really funny.

[Karried]

Okay, that was such a twilight zone moment, I can't believe it.. I was just starting to post ' JBrown, do you know when Sunshine comes out and I read your last post!' doo, doo, doo do.. Twilight Zone music!

I'm in agreement with most of your list..

Gone Baby Gone has to be one of the most depressing movies ever.

Bug, didn't care for it.

Alpha Dog.. very sad but a great movie.

I watched Reign Over Me twice this week.. I love that movie.

My new favorite funny is Hot Rod. Goofy beyond belief but I find it very hilarious.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

What did you think of Casino Royale jbrown?

I thought it was great, and I'm not even a huge Bond fan.

[CuatrodeMayo]

The opening credits rocked.

[jbrown84]

Casino Royale was 2006. I didn't see it.

just looking at the 'to see' list... i thought smokin' aces was so-so. interesting concept, but not the best execution imo.

28 weeks later, though... saw that over halloween and it was hilarious. as a movie it reeked, but with friends it was fun to make fun of. the movie is beyond retarded.

i haven't gotten into bond movies for awhile, but i thought casino royale was great. definitely a refreshing take on a tired franchise.

anyone interested in golden compass? -M

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Casino Royale was 2006. I didn't see it.

Well I'll be dad-gummed. Sure was.

You should see it. As I said...I'm not much of a Bond fan. I've always enjoyed watching them, but never made a point out of it or looked forward to seeing another. I only watched them in passing. I'll be all over the next one.

And I'm with mmm on Smokin' Aces. I really didn't like it. Tried WAY too hard to be cool and complicated, resulting in neither. It kind of reminded me of Cats, in that they spend 99% of the thing in character development and 1% in actual story.

[Karried]

I really loved Into the Wild.

I didn't care for The Invisible.

I thought 28 Weeks was Scary!

[Misty]

Well I'll be dad-gummed. Sure was.

You should see it. As I said...I'm not much of a Bond fan. I've always enjoyed watching them, but never made a point out of it or looked forward to seeing another. I only watched them in passing. I'll be all over the next one.

!!!!!!!! How can anyone be not much of a Bond fan. That hurts my heart. Casino Royal and Daniel Craig are great, the best since Roger Moore in Octo*****. However Roger will always be the best Bond in my heart. I just had deja-vu, I think I posted this exact same thing in another thread a long time ago.
