What did you see in theaters (2007 edition)
Thought this might be fun.
List what movies you saw in the cinema over the last year, and if you feel like it, a brief comment or whatever on if you liked it or not.
January
Didn't get to the theatres.
February
Didn't get to the theatres.
March
300- Awesome! Loved this movie. 10/10
TMNT- Really cool CG version of the turtles, a little family friendly, wish it was darker, but still fun. 8/10
April
Grindhouse- I liked it. Loved the missing reels, the grainy film, and the over-the-top zombie film Planet Terror. Death Proof was like it's own whole other movie, and I really liked Kurt Russell in it. 9/10
May
Spiderman 3- Was cool at the time. The strongest part of the film is the Peter/Harry story arc. It carries more weight, having developed thru 3 movies. Don't like it as much now, but I enjoyed it in the movies. 7.5/10
Pirates of the Caribean: At Worlds End- A good finish, but a little long. I was happy with it, but won't be watching it over and over. 8/10
June
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer- I liked it more than the 1st one. It's dumb, silly, and campy, but I had fun watching it. 8/10
July
Transformers- Loved everything about this movie and I'm not ashamed of it. It looked great, and was both funny and intense. 9/10
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix- The best one yet! I thought it was great. 9.5/10
August
The Bourne Ultimatum- Flawless. A great end to this trilogy. 10/10
Knocked Up/Superbad- Both were funny, but I liked Knocked up a little better. Can't remember when I saw them, but it was in within 2 weeks of each other. Superbad: 8/10 Knocked Up: 9/10
September
Didn't get to the movies.
October
Didn't get to the movies
November
American Gangster- Really liked this one. Great ganster film. 9/10
December
I Am Legend- Really good, Will Smith did a great job and I loved the look and mood of the film. 9/10
National Treasure: Book of Secrets- Cool movie, better than the first, actually. Liked the concept of the Presidents secret book. Leaves things open for a part 3. 8.5/10
And that's it for me. I usually only go and watch things that I think I'll like, so it's rare that I see a clunker. My only surprises were Knocked Up and Superbad, that I only knew a little about. A good year over all though.
I saw
The Simpsons Movie-brilliant. Loved it.
Rush Hour 3- The formula was tired...but it was still fun to watch
I Am Legend- Best performance by Will Smith. Enjoyed it immensely
Sweeney Todd-favorite movie I have seen this year by far. Amazing
Not much drew me to the cinemas this year

Bridge to Terabithia(Went Twice)-Very faithful to the book, I went once by myself and once with my class. Overall, good movie.
March
Didn't get to the theatres.
April
Didn't get to the theatres
May
Spiderman 3-Not up to the second movies standards, but it was good for what was there.
Pirates of the Caribean: At Worlds End- Too long, and I was angry with this movie for so many things, but it was enjoyable in the end. :]
June
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer- Way better than the first, it was just like the comic book, but cheesier...o.o
Knocked Up- I'm one of the few people who didn't like it. I'll just leave it at that.
July
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix- Very good. I was disapointed that it was more fast paced that filled with details, but I liked it. It's just that the fourth one was better.
The Simpson's Movie- A great adaption, it didn't seem over the top or even lowly, it was a good movie.
August
Didn't get to theatres.
September
The Nanny Diaries-ehhh, not good.
October
Resident Evil: Extinction-Fricking fantastic. It was an amazing movie and makes the rest of the franchise seem so insignificant in comparison.
November
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium-I love this movie, sure, it has it's problems but in the end it remained to be one of the most heartwarming children's movies of the year.
30 Days of Night-A horrible, god-awful, piece of sh!t. Not taut nor tense, the only thing this movie got was sadistic laughs from some teenagers and an out of place senior citizen.
December
The Golden Compass-A very, very good movie. Until I see Sweeny Todd, I'm pretty sure it will be the best movie of the year for me.
I Am Legend-Good but extremely overrated.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets-Good, fun, and enjoyable.
it was an alright year for Discos at the cinema. Can't be bothered ti list them and rate them but 2008 should be a better one as I am now single and can go whenever I want.

Spiderman 3- I enjoyed it, but could've done better. Seemed to try and do too many things and fit too much into it. 7.5/10
Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End- Didn't know what to think. This was the first out the trilogy that I've seen. Doesn't make me want to watch any of the other films in the franchise. 6.5/10
Fantastic Four- Rise of the Silver Surfer- Alot better than the first one but still aimed at the same audience. Enjoyed this one alot. 7/10
Ghost Rider- Very good superhero movie. Cage is a hit and miss guy and this one was a hit for me. Really enjoyed this one. 7.5/10
Hitman- Never really played the games but I enjoyed this one. Alot of action and humour that fit in well together. 8/10
American Gangster- Exellent movie. Kept me entertained for nearly 3 hours. Strong preformances by Denzel and Russell. Great film for Ridley Scott. Best movie of the year! 9.5/10
I Am Legend- Exellent movie and probably Will Smith's best performance to date. Great twist on it and a aweswome sci-fi flick. 8.5/10
Aliens vs Predator: Requiem- Great movie for the franchise. Yautja was bad*** in this film. Immensely better than the first, but no I Am Legend. 8/10
The Great Debaters- Another great performance for Denzel. He's just so good at potraying non-fictional characters. 8/10

Hannibal Rising; 7,5/10...was better than i expected, with a nice twist at the end..
