With the release date of February 8th 2008, National Treasure: Book of Secrets (to give the film it's correct title) is the film I will be looking out for.

Next month, a new Canadian film from Oscar-winning film-maker Denys Arcand will come out. It's called L'Âge des Ténèbres and I really can't wait to see it. I've enjoyed his other films so much.

I saw the film at the cinema this evening. It was excellent. It's such an indictment of modern society and government, specifically in Quebec, but it's true for most other places as well. Most Americans will never get a chance to see the film on the big screen, but for those Canadians and for those Americans with an artsy cinema near you, I recommend this film. In English, its title is 'Days of Darkness'. And if you must wait for its DVD release, it's worth it. If you don't understand French, there will surely be subtitles.

If you haven't seen Arcand's previous film, 'Les Invasions Barbares' or in English 'The Barbarian Invasions', I recommend that even more. That you will find in any video store anywhere. It won an Oscar.

I will wait the extra few months.

I didn't like National Treasure. Besides the disgustingly inaccurate historical references, I felt it was sort of a propaganda film to make kids feel patriotic.

I was not sure on the accuracy of the film (not having done American History), but that is exactly as I felt, a learning aid for the younger folk, it is a Disney film. On the whole I did enjoy it.

look at this. i just have to fess up and say that i think last year was much better selection-wise than this year. there's some really brilliant stuff came out last year. meanwhile i was really let down by some flicks i was looking forward to this year, mainly bourne ultimatum which i thought was way overrated. :P

XQS me, but for comic-book film fans and those of us who thought Spider-Man 3 had too many plotlines going at once, could we add Ghost Rider to the list?

8)

My favorites this year (that I have seen thus far): In no particular order after #1  ;)

1) Halloween (John Carpenter should be proud; Daeg Faerch and Malcolm McDowell should be nominated for Oscars; way to go, Rob Zobmie!)
2) Transformers
3) Spider-Man 3
4) Simpsons Movie
4)  Mr. Brooks (Kevin Costner, Dane Cook, William Hurt)
5) Fracture (Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling)
6) Ocean's 13
7) TMNT
8) Fantastic 4: Silver Surfer

The last movie I saw in theaters was Halloween back in September, but I would like to see Bee Movie, Beowulf, The Mist, and 30 Days of Night.

I think that Ben Afflecks Gone Baby Gone was very good, but for some reason has been overlooked.  It could end up being one of those movies people see then say "I can't believe I missed this one"  The rest of us will say "I can't believe you haven't seen it"

2006:

75780 8.5 Laberinto del fauno, El (2006)
24075 8.1 Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)
Apocalypto (2006)


Pan's Labyrinth wasn't what I expected, but man, it was awesome. It was just an absolutely beautiful movie.

Letters From Iwo Jima depressed the hell out of me, but it was also excellent. I liked it better than Flags Of Our Fathers.

Even though I think Mel Gibson is a bastard, I really liked Apocalypto. I know there was some historical inaccuracies, but some of those shots were badass. The ending was kind of lame though.

I am taking my wife to see Hilary Swank's movie, P.S. I love You which has a 12-21-07 release date, I think. I am
also going to see National Treasure 2. I enjoyed National Treasure even with it's historical inaccuracies, just like I
enjoyed The Da Vinci Code. Hell, History books are filled with historical inaccuracies, if school can't teach correct
history I certainly am not turning to Hollywood to teach me anything about history. I watch movies to be entertained
not taught

I only saw The Simpsons Movie and that was the best thing that The Simpsons have done in the past 5 years.

I chose 'The Simpsons Movie,' 'Shrek the Third' and 'Meet the Robinsons.' My choice for the 'other' category would be 'Run, Fat Boy, Run' because it's hilarious.

300, I Am Legend, Transformers, Grindhouse, Ratatouille, and Zodiac

WELCOME BACK!!!!!

I Am Legend is another good one. Very interesting. I'm going to want to read the book.

You had forgot High School Musical 2, which had about 17.2 million viewers on the first night, bumping the Disney Channel so it kicks Monday Night Football's ass.

I can't believe that no one mentioned Hairspray.  I love that movie! 

Also...

Transformers
HP and the Order of the Phoenix
Bourne Ultimatum
Oceans 13
TMNT
Shrek 3
Superbad
Knocked Up

Transformers was completely awesome.


I could only pick 5, that sucks.

So I picked Transformers, Bourne Ultimatum, HP and Order of the Phoenix, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Enchanted.

I picked the last 2 just to be different.  However, from the list, there are alot more I would pick.

Live Free or Die Hard, Superbad, Shooter, Ocean's 13, POTC 3, 300.

However, I didn't think 300 was as good as everyone thought it was.  I would have rather seen a more epic version of that battle on par with Gladiator and Braveheart.  I also didn't care for the persian army being portrayed as monsters, although I know it was based off a comic.  However, the action was quite intense, the scenes visually stunning, and overall it was entertaining.  That is all I really go to movies for anyway.  Thats why I will still watch Spiderman 3, even though it kind of sucked for the most part.  I like National Treasure 2 for the comedic aspect and it was entertaining.  Most of it may not be historically accurate, but since when did most Americans really care about History.  Kids these days think the U.S. fought WWII on the side of the Germans against the Russians. 

3:10 to Yuma was a good movie.  Didn't see that one up there. 

I did not like Shrek 3 very much.

I think people didn't care for Flags of our Fathers much because it didn't have too much action in it.  But the war scenes were good.  I dont think people like the truth and how America discards heroes when they are done with them.  I would like to see Letters from Iwo Jima.

I just got Transformers on HD!!!  I love it!

I finally saw National Treasure last week I liked it!

I am Legend rocked too

Enchanted had a certain charm.

Pirates Of The Caribbean - At Worlds End
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Bourne Ultimatum
Live Free or Die Hard  (best action flick & my favorite film of 2007)
Rattatouille

i made a half-hour amateur television show about this thread. strange but true.

I've watched it,pretty cool stuff Tia.

I agree with you about Bourne,the shaky camera was so annoying. Oh and pretty slick Kim Richards insertion,you just couldn't help yourself,huh?  ;)

Dude, I recorded a video feedback thing.. and the video was good and when I played it back, the sound was horrendous, so I deleted it. I liked what you had to say about a lot of things but totally disagreed on 300.

sweet! tell me i hate america. tell me you've never witnessed such an outrage in all your life. i bet it'll get me on The O'Reilly Factor.

I'll have to watch it whent he spawn goes to bed. I'm sure I'll disagree about 300. ;D

Just saw Knocked Up, it was really funny and a nice story too to go along with it.

I picked Live free or Die hard...... (Last OK one in that series but I really only like Parts 1,2 and 3)

The Bourne Ultimatum
Oceans 13
Other: Stardust


I have recently seen another film from 2007, which for me supersedes "The Bourne Ultimatum", the film seen was Sean Penn's "Into The Wild".

Other: No Country for Old Men

Ratatouille is my favorite Pixar movie!  :D
