Since the Golden Globes have been cancelled it might seem that we don’t have enough critical analysis to tell us what movies to like, so instead, here’s my favorite 10 movies of 2007 (in no particular order)

No Country for Old Men
Zodiac
Ratatouille
Sweeney Todd
The Lives of Others
Bourne Ultimatum
Eastern Promises
Juno
Knocked Up

And even though I haven’t seen it yet I am reserving a place for this film simply on the basis of PTAnderson Directing and Daniel Day Lewis starring. How could it not be briliant?
There Will Be Blood

Honorable mentions to:
Once
Paris Je T’aime
3:10 to Yuma
Into the Wild
Darjeeling Limited
Grindhouse Presents: Death Proof
Transformers

I’m still on a Christmas break hanging out with my parents. So I’ve been watching a lot of movies in the theatre (that’s not a comment on the company of my parents FTR) it’s just that at home I usually watch movies in the basement theatre I’ve spent my spare time/money/energy building.

Saw Sweeney Todd last night.
