The Best of 2007

Well, in a few days, I will have seen just about every major film and so my list will be complete.

Before I do mine, anyone want to share their favorites for '07? Movies, performances, etc.

I thought yoda was going to pull something like this soon. I'm almost done my list, need to see two more films that could be top ten contenders.

May I ask why you didn't like it?

You may.

I'd like to think Across the Universe would have rocked my world had I been on acid when I had originally seen it. Unfortunately, I wasn't. So instead of being tripped the flip out by the admittedly awesome imagery, I was forced to endure the gimmicky and inconsistent Beatles' covers and the tired, unfocused nature of the central romance.

Why? How much acid did you have to drop for Across the Universe to become your fifth favorite film of all time?

Admitably, it isn't that great, but it did introduce me to the Beatles, so there is a very high sentimentale view

Well, don't say that.

You obviously think Across the Universe is great. You don't have to say it sucks because I don't like it. It's really cool that it introduced you to The Beatles and all. I probably would have grooved to it a lot harder if I hadn't heard each and every song in that movie a bazillion times beforehand, too.

Maybe you should spend less time coloring and more time doing drugs.

People give Vacancy a bad rap. It was decent.
