The best of 2007 @ the movies

I like the atmosphere of the film and William Hurt was fuckin sweet in that small cameo.
Cronenberg likes to explore extremes in sex and violence...in a psychological way as opposed to a visual way. Some like it and some dont.
By the way, just on some random shit...a good and quirky William Hurt movie is:
Rare Birds (2001)
Plot:
Dave is down. His wife lives in Washington, D.C.; his restaurant, the Auk, in an out-of-the-way Newfoundland inlet, is a bust; a drink is rarely out of reach. An odd-duck of a neighbor, Phonce, who has found ten kilos of cocaine and wants Dave's help selling it, contrives to keep Dave in town by faking and reporting the sighting of a rare bird. Soon birders descend from everywhere, and the restaurant is a success. Dave is snorting the cocaine and falling for a young visitor who helps him out at the Auk, Phonce is launching his recreational submarine, and various men who don't look like birders are poking about. When the chickens come home to roost, will Dave and Phonse have a Plan B?

No Country for Old Men was coo. I wasn't feelin the whole country vibe to it though, but that's just me.
Kingdom and American Gangster look OK, but nothing too special.
It was a pretty slacking year for movies. In the first half of the year I saw a lotta action or funny movies, just cuz I was kickin it with friends. The second half of the year I haven't really seen too many movies. Or at least not too many memorable ones.
