As we close out 2007........

With 2008 approaching, I finally feel inspired to get out and blog a little.

So let me start with a recap of 2007, and what better way to recap then to do some lists. Given it is 2007, I thought we go for the top 7......

So here goes:

Top 7 movies of 2k7:
7. Stardust - This is a movie I saw last night and throughly enjoyed. In the same vein of a far away world with magic and adventure. I think Robert De Niro playing a campy Captain is the reason why it is on the list.

6. Simpsons Movie - This may explain why the last few seasons on TV have been average. They were saving it for this..and we were introduced to Spiderpig!

5. Babel - An amazingly well written movie that intertwines various stories into one. It makes you think how one action can have repercussions on the other side of the world. Great cast!

4. Sunshine - Not your standard sci-fi but moreso a murder-thriller mystery set in out space. It reminded me of 2001 and Alien.

3. I am Legend - Probably contains my worst nightmare, being isolated in a large place, where there are no more people, save for some mutants that lust for blood and can only come out at night. While this may seem lame, the way Will Smith carries himself in this movie is stupefying and he should be considered for some award here.

2. Transformers - Loved the cartoon as a child and I was apprehensive about this given previous bad experiences with remakesfrom TV shows such as "Starsky and Hutch", "Scooby Doo" or "Dukes of Hazard". Not only was the CGI amazing but there was a reasonable storyline. This format should be noted by Hollywood, do not try to change the storyline of the show too much, keep it to what people remember and it will be a hit.

Can't wait for number 2!

1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - I love the HP books and the movies are a great. Some may moan that the movies miss parts of the book, but generally they include the parts which we want to see.

Honorable mentions: Rocky Balboa, Children of Men, Spiderman 3

Can't wait in 2008: Indiana Jones 4, Harry Potter 6, Rambo 4, The Dark Knight, Juno
