Grindhouse is my favorite movie so far in 2007. Death Proof i thought was a great movie, albeit it did have a lot of dialogue. Planet Terror was absolutely wonderful as well. Zodiac is apparently really good. I need to see that soon.

My favorite comedy this year is Knocked Up. I think its probably Apatow's best work.

I may or may not have gone to graduate school in the "Inland Empire" (Claremont, CA) -- it all depended on who you asked. Needless to say, the official "definition" of the region is debated a lot...

Most people say that the IE encompasses the metropolitan region of SoCal east of LA and Orange counties (San Bernardino and Riverside counties), though to others, the far-eastern parts of LA and Orange counties are often included.

Regardless, I loved the movie, but I saw it last year and counted it in my 2006 list. I can't wait to pick up the DVD.

Zodiac is still unquestionably my favorite movie so far this year. I can't even listen to "Hurdy Gurdy Man" anymore without getting the chills. Jeepers.

Top 3 movies so far-

1. Grindhouse
2. Ratatouille
3. Zodiac

Adding to my list above-

4. The Lookout
5. The Host

Top Eight (In No Order)
1. Zodiac
2. Sunshine
3. Away From Her
4. The Host
5. Ratatouille
6. Hot Fuzz
7. Knocked Up
8. The Simpsons Movie

My current list is 3:10 TO YUMA, 300, and WAITRESS.

I think the year 2007 has a lot of great movies. Almost every weekend, my boyfriend and I are watching the latest film.

Here are my list of best movies 2007
1. 300
2. Transformers: The Movie
3. Die Hard 4.0
4. Bourne Ultimatum
5. Spiderman 3.
6. Shrek 3
7. Hair Spray
8. The Simpsons Movie

The pickings are rather slim at this point in time...I guess I have to hope that the cramming of excellent films at the end of the holiday season will make up for most of the crap I've seen these past 9 months for 2007 releases.

The only two 2007 American releases that I think are worthy of making my Year-End List are "Zodiac" and "Hairspray."

I've seen very few movies I loved this year, but I'm hoping for some good ones this fall. So far my favorites are Ratatouille and Once.

Top Ten (so far):
- Zodiac (8)
- La Vie En Rose (8)
- The Bourne Ultimatum (8)
- The King of Kong (8)
- Rocket Science (8)
- The Lookout (7)
- The Simpsons Movie (7)
- Rescue Dawn (7)
- Away from Her (7)
- Sunshine (7)

Close Calls:
- Knocked Up (7)
- Death at a Funeral (7)
- Hairspray (7)
- Ratatouille (7)
- Transformers (7)
- Planet Terror (7)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (7)

Biggest Disappointments:
- Death Proof (3)
- Waitress (3)
- Spiderman 3 (4)
- Superbad (5)
- 28 Weeks Later (5)

I have not seen a ton of movies this year, but since more stuff should be coming out on DVD now, I'm going to try to catch up.

So Far, I would categorize the movies I have seen:

Excellent:
Knocked Up
3:10 To Yuma

Not Bad:
Ratatouille
The Bourne Ultimatum
Ocean's 13
Hot Fuzz

Couldn't get into:
Year of the Dog

For the love of all that is holy, quit making movies like this:
Spiderman 3
Pirates of the Carribean 3


I plan on checking out Death Proof this week, which I have high hopes for.

Been a pretty good year thus far, I think... Now I just can't wait for the Coen brothers' and a few select other choices.

Eastern Promises just made my list at the 3-spot.

I haven't seen it yet, but I want to. The trailer looks good. Had to make due with The Hunting Party which was very good but not great.

Saw it last weekend. Great surprise. I don't think the previews or the reviews I saw do it justice.

Eastern Promises just nailed my top spot, I think.

Still Grindhouse as my top pick.

Eastern Promises while not among the top movies of the year so far, has made it into my top ten movies. This is a good movie, but I just have a number of movies that I enjoyed more. Updated list to come.

I'm 'Out of the Loop,' so to speak, concering movies this year. The only decent ones I saw were Hot Fuzz, The Simpsons Movie, and Knocked Up but, of those, I like Hot Fuzz the most. The only film that I truly intend on seeing is the critically acclaimed double-feature Grindhouse.
