Movies I've Watched 2007

Wry slice of life and sharp observations about marriage and money. Stupid ending though.

I actually enjoyed it despite not having high expectations.

Ok, don't like the whole male escort part, but I really like Debra Messing in this movie, and the view and scenery of the countryside is really breathtaking.

Not a fan of Leo, though his performance was pretty good. A grand fashion movie.

A brutally intense drama. Bale makes yet another psychotic character utterly believable in this ugly, visceral portrait of society's underbelly. Gripping.

Decided to watch this after watching 'Match Point' cos it was great, though I dislike Woody Allen. Below expectations. Not a fan of Hugh Jackman. Hate Scarlett. She makes everything look like porn. Why does Woody Allen HAVE to appear in almost all his movies?

Am usually reluctant to watch dance movies cos of 'Honey' etc. This was surprisingly good.

Slick action-thriller is lively and entertaining until a quarter of the way through, when it goes flat and credibility becomes a serious issue.

Caricatures, cliches, and painfully unfunny slapstick sequences ruin the movie.

Watchable globe-trotting thriller is weakened by lapses of credibility, but boosted by Gere's performance. Aren't there better ways to acquire a weapon?

Didn't like it.

Touched on important world issues without being too preachy or documentary-like. Very good performances by Leo, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connolly.

A tight, knowingly hokey thriller that actually thrills. The director masterfully manipulates the audience using familiar conventions. The two leads have chemistry.

Don't they just have the coolest jobs? Lots of cliches but with added twists on some. Not too bad.

Boring, boring, boring. Couldn't wait to leave the cinema. Why did Olivier Martinez sink so low? An added star just for the scenery of Bucharest.

Told from Marie Antoinette's viewpoint, but I still can't help feeling sorry for her husband rather than her. Felt Rose Byrne took centre stage rather than Dunst. Sophia Coppola's take on female characters once again shines through. Good effort.

BORING! Everyone mumbles in the movie. Or could it be my DVD? Nevertheless, spoilt it for me.

'Crash' was at least 20 times better! Probably too ambitious without the end product. Didn't see the relevance of the Japanese part.

A provocative drama offering consistently disturbing and believable scenes. Excellent work by Haggis.

Highly entertaining reinvention of the Batman franchise, ingenious script, impeccably cast and executed.

Eerie, weirdly compelling psychological thriller that shows the workings of the subconscious and is full of literary nuances. Beautifully designed and shot. Bale's mere presence is disturbing.

My favourite movie to date hands down. Watched it countless times. Bale's best performance thus far. Wonderfully cast, except Scarlett, who looks out of place with her Malibu Barbie looks. Great movie by Chris Nolan. Can we expect anything less? A masterpiece.

Watched it a million times. What can I say? I'm a sucker for dystopian future movies. Better than 'The Matrix' cos it's a thinking movie.

Ever notice that the blood disappears once it touches the ground? That aside, loved it and the noir-like feel adds to the elegance of the film. Watched it twice in the same week!

First romantic role by Edward Norton. Even though it was set in Austria, it was filmed in Prague. Prague was beautiful though, so I'll let that slide. 'The Prestige' was way better.

This was just a lazy Saturday afternoon movie. Pretty cool. Shiny sequel.

Fresh, funny, and smart from start to finish. Everyone is good, but Miller is a standout.

Very dark, definitely not meant for children. This is what fairytales are like, not some Disney Princesses story.

A typical indiie movie through and through. Loved Abigail Breslin and Steve Carrell. Showcases a really dysfunctional family. LIked it.

Unfortunately, I was forced to watch this with my friend. Total bomb. Hate it!

A different kind of movie about what love means to different people. What could be better than more than 5 simultaneous love stories ('Love Actually')? Try 18!

Solid story about the legendary Johnny Cash. Wonderful performances by the leads, who are utterly convincing.

Veered off course towards the middle, but the special effects rocked! The fact that Cillian Murphy and Rose Byrne were in it doesn't hurt.

Elements of formula films are cobbled together in routine but likeable fashion. Light fluff.

Liked the plot. However, don't you think if she was the devil's child, she would inflict more terror than just making doors creak? Ending seems to pave the way for a sequel.

Didn't really engage me as much as I would like it to. Jim Carrey doesn't do a convincing job playing a serious role. Was half expecting him to do something ridiculous or say something funny the whole time, which is typical of Jim Carrey. In the context of a movie about obsession, 'The Machinist' was much better.

I feel that the movie is a depiction of an actual relationship, a depiction of the way that people fall in love with their illusions about somebody as much as with the real person. Then the pain and the difficulty and the disenchantment that comes when those things fall away. The notion of a couple getting through the difficult act of forgiveness and an unexpected chance at redemption make the movie more meaningful than it normally would. A love story told backwards.

While I know this isn't a good movie, it was the first time I actually rooted for the underdog in a romantic comedy! So extra points goes to this one.

A really nuanced movie with great humour. Laughed so hard.

I'm sadistically a fan of zombie movies. The camera angles and jerkings were at times too distracting.

Didn't like the movie. James McAvoy tried his best to make his character lovable, and the pretty girl isn't your typical dumb blonde. The saving grace of the movie was Rebecca Hall - the sarcastic and witty political student. Overall below expectations.

A WW2 movie told through the viewpoint of the British. Ambitious, Spielberg seems pretty self-indulgent here - 3 hours long. Christian Bale's acting debut. This guy's got pure talent written all over him.

Some sweet moments are smothered by heavy-handed slapstick in this strained family comedy.

Goes to show that love CAN be bought. Lots of name-dropping, but that's to be expected. Surprisingly good for a French movie. Enjoyed it.

Star wattage and good filmmaking help compensate for many loose ends in this political thriller.
