    I was sorely, sorely, sorely disappointed in No Country for Old Men. Thought it was rather slow, with a ridiculous ending. It's too bad too, because I love a lot of the Coen Brothers' work.

    Waitress? You can't be serious....yikes..

    Across The Universe was original, innovative, ground breaking....THE best movie of the year, in my meager opinion.

    there were parts of no country for old men that i liked and parts i didn't. I liked the killer's characters, didn't like the ending, caused the movie to go on too long, liked the cimenatography, didn't think much of tommy lee jones in it, thought he kind of mailed it in here.

    other movies that I saw that were good were "Bourne Ultimatum, Simpsons Movie, Reign Over Me. I saw Knocked Up also and it was funny in spurts, and a little too drawn out.

    Forest Whitaker was amazing though. And last king of scotland from 06? Are you sure? Oops.. my mistake.

    Of the movies I've seen

    1. Zodiac
    2. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
    3. King of Kong: A fist Full of Quarters (if you can track it down, watch it)
    4. Into the Wild
    5. American Gangster

    I saw "No Country for Old Men" and fell victim to the "didn't get it" crowd. The ending was very abrupt and left no closure whatsoever, imo. Just my two cents. :)

    Am I the only person who saw and liked "Zodiac"? David Fincher's direction and the investigation aspect of it was incredible.

    Although it came out in late 06, it didn't get wide release until early 07, "Children of Men" is one of the best movies of the past five years.
