[Movie] [Your] Top Ten Worst Movies of 2007

In no particular order:

Transformers
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Redacted
300
American Gangster
Rendition
In The Valley of Elah
Sunshine
Elizabeth: The Golden Age

No, that's not true. I would rather endure 300 and Transformers than to be subjected to any of their compatriots on this dismal index of movies that will be buried beneath greater, hidden treasures currently ignored, in years to come. Why Rendition and not Norbit, or why American Gangster and not National Treasure? For starters, I have not seen either of the latter in the pairing, which is entirely the reasoning: I do not have to see a Brian Robbins vehicle to know it will suck, or another Scary Movie clone (why? in case it may find its way onto my positive year end list?). Denicalis' Ghost Rider reasoning nails shut the coffins on the rest of the faux oscar baits, and why they are worse than the relatively harmless chafe most people see.

To inject some positive into this thread/post: Do see Charles' Burnett's Killer of Sheep, filmed in '77 but incomplete until this year; The Coens' No Country for Old Men, whose bold framing and spiritiual crisis tear apart the 3 entries above fit for The Iraq War Hall of Shame; another one of Herzog's personal but best since his glorious 70s german movies, Rescue Dawn; Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited, one I'm still trying to wrap my head around but may be his most clear-eyed of his filmography; Sarah Polley's Debut, Away from Her, which will earn Julie Christie an oscar (she or Marion Cotillard; bookmark this page, you read it here first); and Satoshi Kon's engrossing Paprika, where he ventures into David Lynch territory.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
