Rendition (An excellent movie. This movie gives a great insight in the US political mind-set in the post 9/11 era . Also, don't forget to watch the extra documentary on the DVD).
300
Mr. Brooks (Great movie, the story-lines keep tumbling and tumbling, creating an avalanche of big and small twists and surprises. All the actors give an excellent performance. This is the best of Costner's movies. I took Costner some time after his Waterworld crap to get his act together but after the Guardian and this movie, he's back on my favourite actor list)
Transformers (I didn't expect too much, but it's actually quite enjoyable, great action-scene's and special effects. Also good attention to detail , no silly solutions like die hard 4.0. It also has some funny references to other action movies. Overall I had much fun watching this movie, and this LaBeouf guy is a promising actor. I'm curious about his next movies.)
Stardust (2 hours of fun, just great entertainment, nothing more, nothing less.)
Shoot Em Up (A Max Payne movie. Just blasting fun.)
Grindhouse
A Mighty Heart
Live Free or Die Hard (Plus: some very original action scenes. Minus: the IT-stuff is a bit silly. If you ever receive a virus on r pc, don't press 'del', u'll blow up r house....
Overall: a damn good movie)The Kingdom
Michael Clayton
My worst 10:
88 Minutes (A girl (forensic student) gets seduced by a serial-killer (already in prison) and manages to blow-up a car, copy-cat and execute several murders, shoot at the main-character, ride a moterbike, and tie-up two persons at the same time all within a day's work. She can get a role in the next fantastic four (five?) movie....)
Catacombs (Basically a scary B movie, made 10 years too late. After 5 minutes watching I already guessed the plot. A lot of screaming and moaning, shaking the camera, and running around. If you're really bored, watch it on TV or something.)
Code Name: The Cleaner
Zodiac (This film starts out interesting, but fails completely in the middle. It goes on, and on and nothing interesting happens. It's way too long (almost 3 hours!) Only the last bit is mildly interesting (if you're still awake). I gave Downey Jr one last shot (after Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), but he's defintely not one of my favourite actors. I'll stay away from his films. I guess this movie is interesting if you know/experienced the time when the zodiac killer was active. Otherwise, stay away...)
Perfect Stranger (All the ingredients are there, some good actors and an interesting premise, but the movie is cramped with all the effects and twists they could think of, so the overall effect is a crappy movie. It's unbalanced, strangly edited, and a movie is NEVER good when a main actor has to hold a monologue for 5 minutes to explain the plot. Stay away from this one. Also, why is this movie rated R? There's absolutely nothing to see to be shocked about.)
Species: The Awakening (The elements of a exciting film are there: hybrid human-aliens rooming around, a wacky scientist with a sexy assisant, a gritty setting in Mexico, but it all combines to a standard B-movie. It has some memorable scenes like the hybrid-alien nun jumping on some roofs and the 'end-fight' between the two women.)
The Number 23 (Carrey can't do serious movies. Period.)
The Hills Have Eyes II (Terrible movie. Cheap rip-off of the first one. Just some kids with shiny white teeth pretending to be soldiers. I was really waiting for all the 'actors' to be killed one be one, so I could leave the cinema. I especially disliked the black guy, what a terrible actor. Stay clear from this one.)
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (Compelete crap.)
All together I rated about 70 movies from 2007.
