Yeah, the acting was top notch, as I mentioned else where. 
"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

After this weekend, I'm now up to 4 '07 movies.Rogue II wrote:I'm up to 2 movies from '07 and here's how I rank them.
300
Smokin' Aces
300
Stardust
Smokin' Aces
Beowulf
Stardust was actually pretty good. It had some of the elements of Princess Bride, but a bit more adult. It was the same mix of comedy and fantasy with more violence than Princess Bride. Beowulf wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The animation was annoying.

Blades of Glory was on HBO yesterday and I was bored. It had some funny parts. It was slightly better than Beowulf.

Re: Favorites of 2007?
Wow, you have been a little tear recently RII. Good work.
I recently watched something that I thought was really good, but I can't remember what it was.

Shit. I can't think of a good signature.
Re: Favorites of 2007?
Yeah... that is probably the case.

It is part of Regan's "Trickle Down" theroy. Last year's movies are hitting DVD and HBO. My father actually rented Stardust and Beowulf when we went to visit them a couple weeks ago. He read something about The Golden Compass and wanted to rent it, but it was not our on DVD at the time. It might be out now.
No one else saw Stardust?
Re: Favorites of 2007?
I watched the first half of Stardust but then the HD-DVD failed and I could never get past a certain point so I had to send it back. I think I received another one but never finished watching the movie and I eventually sent it back, I believe. Anyways, I did like the first half of the movie. It was very interesting. I definitely plan on finishing it at some point.

Re: Favorites of 2007?
Man, I really am not much of a movie-goer anymore. These are all I saw from 07 with corresponding grades:
300 - C
Blades of Glory - C
Shrek 3 - B
Knocked Up- B
1408 - C
Sunshine - A
Rescue Dawn - C
Simpsons - C
Superbad - C
Michael Clayton - B
I am Legend - C
Nothing I saw was revolting, but then, when everybody says a nearly 3 hour movie sucks (POTC, Spidey 3) I tend to avoid them. I can think for myself, but life is kinda short. I have No Country, There Will Be Blood, 3:10, and Jesse James at the top of the queue, so we'll see!

Re: Favorites of 2007?
I just watched Juno, which only came out on DVD last Tuesday.... but I think it was in theatres just before the end of the year to cash in on Oscar hype. If so, it was my favorite (of only a very few) movies I watched from 2007 by a wide margin. Excellent.

Re: Favorites of 2007?
Yeah, Juno was late 2007.
After I first saw it I updated my list and put it at #5, but after a few more viewings, I think I'll bump it up to #1.
I need to re-update my list again.
