\nBy far, the best film I saw this year was “The Departed”<\/strong>. For drama, I also highly recommend “Inside Man” “The Queen” <\/strong>and I personally loved “Marie Antoinette”<\/strong>. For a smaller film “Come Early Morning” <\/strong>was very well done. For comedy “Scoop”<\/strong> and “Clerks 2”<\/strong> were both quite funny, in their own ways. “Casino Royale”<\/strong> was the Best Bond, perhaps ever. And “The Prestige”<\/strong> was a good movie about just how horrifically awful human beings can be. So you’d have to keep that in mind, should you choose to see it. There were other movies I liked also.
\nI’m pretty good at not going to movies I can tell I’m not going to like, in my old age. I’d have to say “Last Kiss” (yuck) and “Match Point” (“Scoop” is so much better!) were my least favorite movies in the theater this year and “The DaVinci Code” was about how I expected: not good, but not as bad as I had heard. Average. Middling.
\nFor Keanu lovers like myself, there wasn’t a damn thing wrong with “The Lakehouse.”<\/strong> You can see the whole list of what I saw here <\/a>or you can view Snip <\/a>by category “watchin”; although I oddly forgot to write up a LOT of the concerts I saw, I pretty consistently reported back on movies.
\nAnd I’ve already seen my first movie of 2007 although I haven’t written it up yet. Soon! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
