I was wondering about this one - since it came out in December 2006, I'm not sure if it is still eligible or not. I think Jan. 1 is the cut-off, but who knows.

And as for 300... it was entertaining, but if it gets nominated for an Oscar other than "Best Sepia Skies" I will lose whatever faith I have left in the Academy.

I've just realized that The Bourne Ultimatum was the only movie I saw in theatres this year, but it was hella good.

Actually the US release date for Children of Men was the 5th of January,

I'm really hoping it gets nominated for something, its was an incredible movie.

clearly

Sunshine by Danny Boyle
If you missed it in the theater, it sucks for you because DVD not would suffice in terms of providing the visual flair and awe this movie showcases.

Zodiac was also pretty good. I have yet to see Rescue Dawn, which should be arriving in the mail soon.

That has to be wide release - because I know I saw it before Christmas last year as a reward to myself for finishing a final paper. And yeah, it was incredible.

Oh, thats pretty cool. Well, let's hope it gets in

from what ive seen..


superbad
oceans13


grindhouse planet terror was pretty good to.

we own the night sucked,

To everyone who says Oceans 13


Please explain?

It was an OK movie. It wasn't as clever as the first ones and had more tongue and cheek humor to it. Are you saying this because of all of the big names in it? I wasn't all that impressed with the movie. It was not bad, not great.. just ok.

Please justify your answers.

I though it was VERY clever! Al Pacino's acting was priceless and the plot was great. I loved the whole hotel reviewer scheme, I almost thought it was better than the first. IMHO..

Sunshine is an excellent movie!

300

What can i say? Epic truly EPIC. No movie has come close to this much gore,sex,violence and just plain fun since Gladiator.

Bourne Ultimatum. Great great movie. Probably the best of the trilogy.


I actually slept for a good 15 mins during transformers..totally missed the fight between bumblebee and the decepticon cop car...anyways i thought it sucked, didnt do justice to the series. Too many actors doing the talking and no "heart" about the transformers characters other than bumblebee.

300 was crap.

You would nominate these movies for Oscars? Seriously?

Grindhouse FTW

You're not even old enough to get into most of those movies by yourself, what the hell does your opinion mean in the matter?

Superbad gets the oscar for.......?

I just watched Children Of Men. Outstanding movie! I didnt like the ending though, it leaves too much open, i was thinking well wtf happens now?

the sound of children laughing kind of points in a certain direction, no?

Could have just been some theatrical sort of ambiguity.

I loved the movie and I loved the ending - because I felt it was somewhat open-ended. Was the point of the movie really that of hope persisting or hope smothered? I mean, it was human nature that made the world such a shit place to begin with, are we really to believe that humans will bring it back to order again (if ever such a thing really did exist) That it would be science, The Human Project, that would save us, maybe? When it was possibly science that caused women to be barren in the first place? I don't know, and I like that the movie didn't seek to answer that for us, though I would have very much liked to have seen more closure - I don't think that's really what's important, however.

Pan's Labyrinth (released 19 January 2007 in Canada, for all you 'well technically, it was from 2006' naysayers) was pretty awesome. Thoughts?

And yes, Children of Men is amazing. One shot action sequences ftw.

Pan's Labyrinth was really good. It may very well be nominated for best foreign language film, I dunno if it can qualify for other categories.

Sucks though, it's better than many of the American-made films that will win in categories it could have qualified for...

If you liked Pan's Labyrinth, definitely see The Devil's Backbone.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
