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.

YAY!

I KNEW it would happen... Of course, you'll have to report back.

Has anyone seen Atonement yet?!
It's so good it's rediculous.

I'm so good it's rediculous. :p

...

Haven't seen Atonement, but I just saw a movie last night that SERIOUSLY needs to make Honorable Mention (Runner Up) at the VERY LEAST.

Shoot Em Up

Not just an action movie. Not just a parody. Just just an homage. It's an actiody-mage.

Not just decent action, but EXCELLENT action - a strict homage to the action greats, and incredibly well done too! The writing is quirky and clever and over-the-top just enough without getting to be too ridiculous.

The story IS ridiculous, but only in as much as to create an enjoyable nod to previous films.

But what makes it one of this year's BEST is the fact that it's just really really well made. I was impressed. I'd definitely own it.

Shoot Em Up was excellent. It was stylish, fast-paced, and so over-the-top you couldn't help but be filled with both laughter and adrenaline. Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti are two excellent actors, and you can just tell they had fun the entire time they were making this film. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, he whips out a carrot. He fights and manuevers while being inside of a women. He spews out numerous one-liners. Someone tries to back over a baby. Ahhh... such fun.

I'll post the final versions of my list this upcoming Friday. :)

Me too. Especially There Will Be Blood.

I've managed to convince a few people to go see Atonement. I'm on a mission to see all the Oscar-buzz films this year. After seeing a mere 2 or 3 last season.
