Hah yeah I will. Here's the summary of a review of transformers that I agree with:

quote:

"With Transformers, director Michael Bay has once again claimed the year�s top honors for loud, stupid filmmaking.

I really wanted it to be good, but Michael Bay just makes awful movies. He's kinda the DJ Sammy of movies. Yeah.

haha, nice comparison. I think both his and Tony Scott's film-making "style" within the last decade or so are really lacklustre. They get lots of praise and money, but I don't like the prescription. Though I did really like the Rock (Bay?) and I did really like The Hunger (Scott?). They're just sell-outs anymore though. I didn't even see Transformers. It looked like nothing mor than a 90-minute Chevrolet commercial. :/

You got that right. Yeah Bay hasn't done anything good since the rock, and the rock was campy and kinda bad, but in a good way.

The Simpsons - The Movie
Elite Squad

for me it has to be 'Zodiac'.

Not enough White Album in my opinion. Trippy movie though - the soundtrack was very enjoyable and the Bono cameo was pretty funny.

Ive got a couple on my list before I get to that one, I dont think I can read it before the movie comes out. But I dont have to see it right away, either.

1. The Darjeeling Limited
2. Across the Universe
3. ...(are we counting children of men as 2007?)

^You can't compare movies like those to something like transformers, and then argue that Transformers was anything other than absolute garbage.

DJ Sammy of the movie world indeed...

if you thought transformers was bad, DONT see spiderman 3
i stopped watching after about 15 minutes cause i couldn't take it, and according to people that liked and disliked it, it only got worse from there

Originally posted by gwrmarines Sunshine is an excellent movie!

No way, worst movie of the year imo, dull as dishwater, unimpressive special effects, and one of the lamest endings ever.

It's the only movie I've ever seen in the cinema and wanted a refund for.

Really weak, and the Futurama one is only marginally better

My favs from the year:

Ratatouille
Stardust


Still got loads on my 'to watch' list, just trying to find the time

Originally posted by Ang ' ela_ie I got to thinking about this today... If you were the Academy, what would you nominate? Eastern Promises The Painted Veil No Country for Old Men Aaron Sorkin has a movie coming out (Charlie Wilson's War) that might be a good nomination. And there's a couple that Ive heard good things about but haven't seen... And what about the Kite Runner? Can they nominate a film that was never released?

quote:

Originally posted by Ang ' ela_ie I could have done with a little less gore... however... Eastern Promises was SO much worse about it. I just think its unnecessary. We know whats happening, do you have to SHOW us whats happening?

quote:

Originally posted by _Nut_ No Country for Old Men Just saw this yesterday. Wow. I have never seen a movie that was so beautifully put together. The Cohen brothers put together a masterpiece. There is so much I want to say about the movie... but I wont until you (or others) see it. Big thumbs up on this.

i finally found the chance to sit down, hit a theater, and watch this film, because everyone i knew were telling me to watch this film. simply awing i have to say. Javier Bardem(the villian of the movie) "Sugar" (people who watched the movie would understand that. lol) stole the movie imo. other than that, if you take away the guts, guns, and gore, which is the main focal point of the whole movie, i still would think this is a good movie. i recommend this movie.

anyone read the book? does the movie do any justice to the book?

also another nomincation from me is Ratatouille. i loved the movie so much, i became a kid, and bought the dvd a couple of weeks ago.

American Gangster
Juno
Zodiac
300
No counrty for old men

It's really hard to find any good movies in 2007 at all.
The only semi-decent films I saw this year have been
- Inland Empire
- 1408 (haven't seen The Mist yet, that one could qualify, too)
- Eastern Promises

quote:

When I got Pan's Labyrinth of Hollywood Video, the guy at the counter said "just to let you know, this movie is subtitled, you sure you want it?" I said "yeah, man. it's on the WARNING sticker on the box" "ok cool, cus a lot of people came back wanting refunds because they could't read the WARNING sticker or the subtitles" WARNING: REQUIRES READING

You can't be serious. People indeed are incredibly stupid.
Though it's the same thing over here, everyone want's to see dubbed movies, as if people were incapable of reading subtitles. I actually prefer subtitles over dubbing, I mean seriously, how can you say Jack Nicholson is such a great actor if you haven't even heard him speak a single word?

Stardust was REALLY good. More enjoyable than almost everything I saw this year

sunshine
transformers
two girls one cup
pans labyrinth (i only saw it this year, so im sticking it in my list)
the fountain (again, maybe older than 2007, but watched it begining if the year, fantastic film)

If Pan's Labyrinth and The Fountain qualify as 2007 then I'll add them to my list. Same goes for Stranger than fiction and The Prestige.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Black Sheep. It was fun and mildly entertaining, but certainly not a "good" movie.

There will be Blood
give all the awards 2 that one.

Bourne Supremacy

Add Atonement to my list. I loved it!

Saw Lars and the Real Girl a couple weeks ago and that was awesome.

Also we're going to see:

The Savages
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
The Orphanage
Cassandra's Dream

i was about to see Atonement today, but decided to watch Before the Devil knows You're dead, because i figured i can catch Atonement anytime. i enjoyed BTDKYD. it's one of those movies where it's a whole character development piece, and you get to learn who that person is, rather than watch a story plot, even though the main climax happened 10 minutes into the movie. lol

i do play to watch:
Atonement
Juno
Sweeney Todd

before 2007 ends.

it's movie week for me. stuff all these movies before i go back to work on Jan 2.

i saw the preview of The Orphanage. it looks like the prototypical horror flic that's being stuffed down our throats. however, it does look interesting. i may watch that in 2008.
