My Top 10 Movies of 2007 (That I've been able to see so far)

10. The Simpson Movie: Almost 20 years in the making, this actually turned out to be a decent film and not just a two hour rehash of old material. I don't usually laugh out loud when I see comedies by myself in the theatre, but this was an exception to the rule.
9. The Host: Who knew that a Korean monster movie would make my list? I sure didn't. Best creature flick since Tremors.
8. The Bourn Ultimatum: If you told me seven years ago that Matt Damon would crank out a butt-kick franchise better than the recent James Bond series I would laugh in your face. Here is exhibit number three of that gaffe.
7. Waitress: Don't watch unless you want to crave pie for the following month.
6. 3:10 To Yuma: Thank you James Mangold, for bringing back the Western.
5. Hot Fuzz: The British + warm guns = happiness
4. Juno: Quirky script and amazing character development. Yes...I laughed audibly at this movie as well.
3. Ratatouille: Suddenly I don't feel so paranoid and disgusted by the possibility of rats in a restaurant kitchen.
2. No Country For Old Men: Tommy Lee Jones's monologue at story's denouement continues to haunt me to this very moment. A fine work from my favorite Director/Producer duo: the Coen Brothers.
1. There Will Be Blood: I can probably count on both my hands the performances/actors that I have seen in film that have completely floored me and left me with a new appreciation for the craft of acting. Daniel Day-Lewis is one of them. The films of P.T. Anderson all have a residual sorrow that leave the viewer (or at least myself) in a sort of spiritual malaise. You associate so easily and magnificently with the characters, that their tragedy, to some extent, becomes your own tragedy.

Note: These are movies that I personally enjoyed but do not necessarily recommend to EVERYBODY. Pick and choose at your own discretion. Thank you.

Where Am I Going? Where Are You Taking Me?

Since my interview with the Nebraska State Patrol has been so widely publicized, I feel obligated to share about my experience involving sitting in front of a panel of hardened cops and groping for words expressing why I'm the best candidate for the position. I happen to have a clip of the interview. Enjoy.

Another crisis averted

Yesterday I was driving in my car and saw a banana peel in the middle of the road. It made me laugh but I avoided it all the same.
