Pretty self explanatory. But I'm gonna add some other awards to this because I'm lame and bored.

Best Movies

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I heard good things but wow, it was funnier than I thought it would be. AND it had some soul! It's like CB only less attractive.


Most of the movies I've seen this year haven't been that great, but I've missed out on a lot of movies that I want to see (such as The Bank Job, In Bruges, The Visitor and Snow Angels), so I'm gonna stick a movie in here that normally wouldn't be...

Iron Man
I think it's a solid, entertaining flick the whole way through and I like Robert Downey Jr. but I just don't buy into this movie like a lot of people.



Worst Movies
(aka AHHH MY EYES... BUT MMM, POPCORN)

This was pretty easy.

Shutter
The guy who made this made Parasite Eve, which was awesome, but this was a horrible load of overly-cliche-crap. It had no atmosphere. No real tension. I jumped a few times because I was at the theatre and it's not hard to scare people there. But I had a pretzel so that was okay.

21
Maybe it's cuz I don't like blackjack, but I was really bored by this film. Kevin Spacey good though. I think it tried to hard to be stylish and ultimately failed. I had no connection with anybody in it. Again, I had a pretzel, though.

The Ruins
It had no redeeming scenes except for one which lasted a few minutes. I can't believe my friend went to see it. I don't remember if I had a pretzel.



Obstinate's I Know It's Bad And I Can't Defend It But I Enjoyed It Quite A Bit Anyways Award
(aka Leave Me Alone And Let Me Watch My Crap)

Never Back Down
The Fight Club-lite-excess-violence-but-violence-is-wrong film. Yeah it had a overly hip soundtrack that was kind of out of place, but I liked the ST, it had Rise Against on it! Yeah everybody in the movie is overly attractive and there are cringe worthy parts. Yes, it is all style and no substance! And yes I liked it. I laughed at parts I shouldn't have. I was entertained.



The Movie That Disappointed Me A Lot But It Had The Funniest Line In A Movie This Year... So Far

Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
The first one is easily a top 15 comedy for me. I don't hate this movie, I like it but it should have been awesome. Speaking of which (see that coooool transition?), it had The Funniest Line In A Movie This Year... So Far, "Fuck you, donuts are AWESOME!"

There Will Be Blood, yes it can out in 2007 but that was a limited release. Nation wide release was Jan. 25, 2008, so therefore I'm counting it coming out in 2008.

I haven't seen that many movies this year, but:

Best one: Iron Man (had everything I wanted in a movie, good fun and most of all, it seemed intelligent and well acted)

Worst One: Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium (because my daughter wanted to see it) Terrible movie; I would say almost every second sucked big time, but Natalie Portman is hot!

Well if we're doing that then it's definitely the best movie so far. Hell it's a top 25 pick for me for best movie ever.

Best (and pretty much the only one I've seen): Vantage Point. It was stunningly original. Hollywood needs to wake up and do more creative movies like this, instead of the same old remakes and sequels. 10/10 for originality and a damn good story.

So, Wall-E gets the temporary spot for top movie of the year. The Dark Knight comes out soon and that will dethrone it but Wall-E was really fucking good. Touching, great animation, a good story, minimal dialogue used well.
