I can't really form a list so I'll put it simply.
Favorite movie of 2007: Knocked Up. Least favorite movie of 2007: Transformers. Still haven't seen (But want to): Sweeney Todd, No Country For Old Men, Juno. |

So I'm not sure that Resident Evil deserves the bad rep that people give it. It was just entertaining, action gore. I had LOW expectation... And it surpassed them (it helps to have low expectations - I truly try to live my life that way). Oh, and I REALLY liked the beginning. Though the ultimate big bad at the end was kinda lame (as you already noted). Quote:

Hey guys... I just joined!! Good to be here.
My favorite films of 2007 are: - The Mist - 300 - Zodiac - Rob Zombie's Halloween - Smokin' Aces - Live Free or Die Hard Yes, I know some of them are labeled as "sucky"... but I particularly loved The Mist and Zodiac |

You know, I've actually wanted to hear back from the people who LIKED Rob Zombie's Halloween... I'm not a huge fan of Zombie, so, to tell you the truth, I want to hear more about the appeal. If you please, I would like to hear more about what you like about the movie... Either here or the Rob Zombie's Halloween Thread, also in Modern Horror Movies. |

Well, I thought Rob Zombie's direction was very good. I HATED his first two movies, and well, I had very low expectations about his Halloween... but I was proven wrong. I think what separates this film from its predecessor's is two things: 1. Michael's origin.. which is fresh and new. 2. The increase in horror. When I say "increase", I simply mean that the level of intensity and suspense was raised quite a bit. I'm not dissing Carpenter's vision (since I believe Carpenter's film is still the best), but it feels like Rob Zombie tastefully brought the story into a modern world for an audience that craves more blood and guts. I also think this generation of movie-goers has a lower attention span than back in the 70's.... so I think Rob Zombie's vision mirrored that. I personally don't mind "slower" films - in fact I prefer them - and I love the original Halloween films... but I think Zombie treated the material with great respect. The original is always superior, though. :cool: |

Also - Those last 3 minutes or so... I thought were pretty damn amazing, and I would say that, if you were going to change the ending of a movie, that's the damn way to do it. I think that if he had ignored the concept of creating a past and just focused on JC's movie, the remake would have been pretty strong. But, MAN did the "past" suck. I thought that little Mikey Myers was just... laughable. I woulda beat him up. ... Quote:
I definitely agree with the intensity... Zombie's films are definitely raw and bring a bit more to the slasher genre then some of his predecessors. And I thought that there were some aspects of the intensity that definitely added to the film... But at least you agree about the far superior Original. :p ... And back on topic... I finally saw No Country For Old Men. My take: A very pretty, artistic, action film. Definitely makes me want to read the book (has anyone read it)? I feel as though it examines three men with three different objectives, and attempts to examine and call into question their separate purpose and obsession on their objects of striving. It was pretty, intense, a little slow, but ends REALLY well. Tommy Lee Jones is spectacular. ... But I am NOT sure that I would necessarily put it on my BEST OF 2007 list. Anyone want to discuss why it made theirs? |
ChronoGrl, you'll be happy to hear that my theatre finally received JUNO, and I will be going to see it in approximately 20 hours.
I'm looking forward to seeing not only JUNO, but Gone Baby Gone. I'm sure both will make my top films of 2007 list. |
