Has 2007 been the "Year of Kick Ass Movies"?

Holy shit no! I've saw better ones made around 1990.

[Solecord]

This year has pretty much sucked for movies so far... although I'm looking forward to see what Rob Zombie does with his remake of Halloween!

Have you seen either 300 or Disturbia?

I didn't get a chance to watch those (winter sucks!) when they were out and rented them and was blown away by both of those.

I wanted to watch Live Free or Die Hard, but didn't get around to that so I guess I'll have to wait on that.

From what I can tell, you like the organized crime genre and it's true little to nothing along those lines has been released this year.

[Canadian*Sniper]

I only watched like 2 or 3 movies this year and I liked them. 300 looks stupid. Grindhouse was by far the best movie to watch this year.

I like all kinds of movies, from comedy to thrillers. My favorite genre is probably psychological thrillers... movies with twists that aren't over the top and stupid but actually good (like The Sixth Sense or Se7en).

It just so happened that most of the "good" movies from the mid 90's are crime dramas.

BTW, my friend told me about Disturbia and said it was the god-awful worst movie he's seen. lol.

[Canadian*Sniper]

the grudge = teh worst movie of all time

300 looks stupid.

I hesitated to rent it because I wasn't sure what it was about. Did some homework and noticed it grossed $210 million in the USA alone and had an 8.1/10 @ imdb.com.

Within 10 minutes I was very pleased.

Grindhouse was by far the best movie to watch this year.

I have been trying to rent that. No one is stocking it. Although apparently it bombed hard in the theatres, I like almost everything Tarantino has done even when it doesn't quite work out (Kill Bill, for example).

I guess I'm saying even if it borderline sucks somehow, I can usually find an angle of the production/storyline/creativity that makes it worthwhile.

BTW, my friend told me about Disturbia and said it was the god-awful worst movie he's seen. lol.

Disturbia was another movie that I didn't want to see, but the reviews were so great I gave it chance and I hope to see more movies that execute the plot as well. Kind of difficult to explain if you haven't seen it.

Hehe, I borderline hate the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (had to see Dead Man's Chest against my will a couple months back ) so for every great movie out there, there is going to be someone who doesn't like it.

[gamefreak]

Get Rich or Die Trying was pretty good. I liked Fantastic Four 2 as well.

The Simpson's Movie was a big hit.

[QuadRaptor]

I liked Disturbia (especially since I got to see it free).

I also saw 300 and was also blown away.

Live Free or Die Hard was really good too, I was suprised because I didn't expect a whole lot out of it.

I also got to see Harry Potter 5, which was decent.

I missed a lot of stuff though, including the ATHF movie, Grindhouse, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Shrek 3, Spiderman 3, and Fantastic Four 2. Let's just say I couldn't find the time to see them, although I would have loved to go see them all.

[Canadian*Sniper]

ATHF was out? I only saw the trailer and nothing else :x

[Solecord]

I'm lost, what's ATHF? lol

Just saw Fracture and The Number 23 yesterday (rented these) and they were entertaining.

And Baker - I have no interest in seeing the Pirates of the Caribbean movies either. I still haven't seen them and don't plan to.

One genre of movie I really don't care for is the superhero/comic book movies like Fantastic Four, Superman, Batman, blah... the original Batman was ok but other than that any other comic book turn movie I either hated or had no interest to see.
