Introduction/ Best Films of 2007 (Too Date)

Hey everyone
This is a building process and it might take me a while to get this site the way I want it but this is a start. I love movies so this site is a tool for me to use to build up my writing ability and knowledge. To get this started is a list of the best movies to date of 2007

1. Sunshine (Boyle)- A visual masterpiece and all around great movie. Every cast member in this movie did an excellent job even Chris Evans but it was Boyles visuals (some of the best I have ever seen), his flawless editing with spliced in images and score that left an impression on me that few movies have. By Far the best movie of the year.

2. Sicko (Moore)- In his most mature and best film to date Michael Moore highlights the inherit problems with America’s health care system. The inherent problem that profit and health care do not mix. From the many examples of countries that have universal health care, to the stories of the ground zero workers unable to receive the care they need and more so disserve, this movie will not only leave your heart aching but your stomach too.

3. Black Snake Moan (Brewer)- In one of the most surprising movies of the year, Black Snake Moan is a brutal look into the world of addiction and the hard fought process of breaking it. Jackson gives by far his best performance since Pulp Fiction and, Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake give equally great supporting roles.

4. Zodiac (Fincher)- great style and a great cast. Robert Downey Jr., Jake Gyllenhaal and especially Mark Ruffalo along with dam good CG make this film stand out.

5. Hot Fuzz (Wright)-In all around classic movie with a million laughs and a great story. Pegg and Frost are absolutely hilarious in this British cop comedy. In a summer that was full of crap after crap, this was a shinning light.

The Host (Bong)- This monster flick was something out of the blue. Entertaining and very well done this movie shows the breakdown of governmental and civil services when confusion, emotion and sheer lack of knowledge rule the scene. Yet this film highlights the true courage of human character and the family unit.
