Best Movies of 2007

The best flick of 2007 according to the Associate Press is "No Country for Old Men". David Germain of AP describes "Old Men" as: With weird hair and businesslike savagery, Javier Bardem could teach Hannibal Lecter a thing or three about pitiless bloodletting. Bardem as a killer, Tommy Lee Jones as a wayworn lawman and Josh Brolin as a good old boy who stumbles on a fortune in drug money are one of the great triumvirates of modern film. Aided by cinematographer Roger Deakins' desolate landscapes, Joel and Ethan Coen bring Cormac McCarthy's Texas crime saga to life with all the regional authenticity they applied to their Minnesota tale "Fargo." Has this been shown here yet? I don't remember seeing it in the theaters, although I haven't really gone to the theaters that much the last year so I won't be surprised if it did :p

My guilty pleasures are zombie and slasher movies. Although weirdly enough, I prefer watching my zombie movies inside a movie theater and my slasher flicks in the safety of my house. I still haven't psychoanalyzed why I prefer it this way. According to the (very brief) synopsis, "Old Men" is about a serial killer (a slasher flick!) with some drugs thrown in. I'm sure my boyfriend will love it and I'll take the risk of watching it in a movie house because the best movie of 2007 deserves to be watched on the big screen and not to be purchased through your friendly dibidi seller. The AP Movie Writer David Germain's complete list goes as follows:

1. No Country for Old Men
2. Once
3. Juno
4. Away From Her
5. Into the Wild
6. American Gangster
7. Stardust
8. Starting Out in the Evening
