My opinion of movies has changed a lot over the past few years. I no longer go to movies and sit there just enjoying the movie and not think about anything. I have a habit of mulling over the story, looking at how it’s shot, the dialogue (whether it fits into the situation), whether I am caring enough about the characters to enjoy the movie etc etc. I have become somewhat of a critic. I’m not saying whether my opinion is right or wrong but that this is how or why I enjoy movies and that I’m entitled to my own opinion as are everyone else. On that note here are my picks for the best 5 movies of 2007.
1. Children of Men (Contrary to what may think this was officially released on the 5th of January 2007)
2. 3:10 to Yuma
3. Juno
And special mentions goes to The Lookout and The King of Kong. The King of Kong is a documentary about two guys competing for the highest score in Donkey Kong. It might sound lame but it’s a great underdog story which you will get sucked into whether you’re a gamer or not a gamer.
Well there are a couple of great movies that have come out in 2007 I haven’t been able to watch yet and since I didn’t want to put this list off any longer I decided I would go with the ones I have watched. Some of the movies that might get into my list if I watched them are as follows:
So there you go. No place for Transformers because I still think it sucked. Die Hard 4.0 and 300 were great but still not good enough to get into the list.
