Below are the top 5 highest rated movies I saw during 2007, including a short review and my rating out of 10. Not a single movie I saw all year scored a ten out of ten (Little Miss Sunshine won that honor last year).

1. When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts
Heart wrenchingly sad, depressing, unbelievably moving and yet incredibly informative and somehow uplifting. A surprise from Spike Lee and a film everyone should watch (most likely through some tears).
9/10

2. The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Equally sad, funny, and heartwarming. This movie stuck with me for a while.
9/10

3. I Like Killing Flies
Generous servings of existential angst featured daily with a side of flies. Kenny Shopsin is shrewd, loudmouthed, vulgar, entertaining and smart. He’s is also my new hero.
9/10

4. Knocked Up
Very, very, very, funny. Not to mention charming and sweet.
9/10

5. Grey Gardens
This is equal parts creepy,disgusting, funny, and just plain old fascinating. Two bat-shit crazy birds run around their dilapidated mansion outdoing each other with quips of derangement and insanity.
9/10

UPDATE: I figured that I might as well add the worst movie I saw all year. You know, just to make things complete. It was a tie. Please avoid both of these movies.

1. Catch And Release
Ricochet romance at its worst. Gooey, unrealistic and all but the first ten minutes were predictable. Where have all the romantic comedies gone?
2/10

2. Shortbus
Not only have the Europeans had real life (not simulated) sex scenes in their movies for far longer than Americans, but the sex actually looks enjoyable. This movie portrays all the complexity of sex but none of the emotion. Basically, it is one giant gimmick.
2/10

• I first became familiar with vagina dentata last year when I read on some political bulletin board that “Ann Coulter’s pussy has teeth”. This hit me as gross, funny, creepy, somehow profound, and probably true. It was an image I had never heard described before, and up until that point, had never conjured in my mind. This idea of vagina dentata stuck with me. So much so, that I made it my very first Wednesday’s Wonderful World Of Wikipedia entry. The concept strikes me with a sort of intrigue that I’m sure Freud would have a heyday with . And then today I see this:

  I don’t know if I’m supposed to be laughing - but I am.

• On this special Halloween edition of Wednesday’s Wonderful World Of Wikipedia, I link to the living dead. This article is of particular intrest because of the discussion around the differences between the zombies in Romero’s Dead Series movies versus Russo’s Living Dead Series movies.

• This week on Wednesdays Wonderful World of Wikipedia is simply a list of fictional doctors from literature, movies, and television. Mind you, it’s a very long list.

• This week on Wednesdays Wonderful World of Wikipedia is Bacon Number. The Bacon number of an actor or actress is the number of degrees of separation they have from actor Kevin Bacon, as defined by the game known as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The computation of a Bacon number N for X is a “shortest path” algorithm. It involves computing the Bacon number for all film actors who X has acted with. Notably Bacon is not the most linkable actor. That honor goes to Rod Steiger. The average Steiger number in the acting community is 2.679. By contrast, the average Bacon number is 2.946.

  A delightful movie about food, family, work, life and dreams. An original story with some great laughs. Oh yeah, some pretty decent animation in there too.

  The apocalyptic zombie genre has to be one of my very favorite. This movie was slightly spoiled by the dues ex machina ending. Go watch this alternate ending for the two missing stars.

• Outside Providence (1999)
  3.5/5

  This was a cute movie. I missed the last ten minutes so I can only assume he gets the girl in the end. Amy Smart is really something special.

  As far as zombie movies go, this series is some of the best in the genre. Although night quite as good as the original, this sequel stacked up quite well.

Yesterday I went to see the new Simpsons movie. Definitely worth my $6.00. But I’m a fan of the Simpson and laughed throughout the entire movie, so my opinion is probably a bit biased. Still, I recommend you go see it. Stay through the credits to hear the Springfield Anthem, afterall, the music is one of the best parts of the Simpsons. In celebration here are some pictures I took a few ago of the 7-11 they turned into a Kwik-E-Mart here in Denver.

The guys down at Westword like to make fun of this security guard for some reason. He actually had a pretty tough job the night I was there, the drunks were out in full force.

By the way, the title to this post is the emoticon for “Homer”.

• A list of movies or films that depict a characters death in a particularly gory way. Examples include: death by ingestion, death by dismemberment with delayed separation, and death by fluid extraction.

  While standards for gore differ, films on this list depict on-screen human deaths with graphic detail, rather than off-screen and implied, depicting loss of blood and body parts (flesh, limbs, internal organs) in large quantity and other types of sadistic deaths.
