Movie Hopping Recap: 2007

12 ProMax Bars, 22 tangerines, 4 hardboiled eggs and 31 movies; the recipe of sensual kinship. I could go into character and start jabbering the way Pons De Leon only can, but since the blog has been reduced to only 2 readers (myself included), I don't think I will.

1. Zodiac

Very amazing that the sensual greatness of this movie has not faded from my loins despite it being released one year ago. You become the detective in this movie, you feel like a cop; you can smell the coffee and taste the donuts. Very funny and very suspenseful at the same time. Downey is in top form here.

2. Michael Clayton

This movie was very advanced due to its genre, but that did not stop me from feeling sensual. Unlike many political thrillers, this one was believable. Gheorgie Clooné is a broken bum who manages to get what needs to be done done. Clever, smart, and sensual. Like a bird diving into the water to catch its prey, this movie captures its audience.

3. No Country for Old Men

Even though this movie loses steam towards the last 30 minutes, it was still very good. Mainly the initial 30 minutes were the greatest 30 minutes of movieism this year. With very little dialogue, we are forced to visually observe the sensuality. Despite its rough edges towards the latter parts, and homosexual-like ending, the movie is good. Greatest villain ever.

4. 3:10 to Yuma

Easily the best western we have seen this year. Crowe is a villain who really is a hero. And a sensual one at that. This movie packs a lot of action but does not sacrifice the plot with it.

5. Knocked Up

The reason I liked this movie more than Superbad is because it was much more elaborate (though slightly less sensual). Superbad was a cheap plotless movie that could get away with murder because it had ultimate freedom, while Knocked Up had much more going, and managed to pull it off equally as well. Plus, it had an element of drama and romance, that got you in your heart.

The Rest Of The Movies

The female in Sweeny Todd actually out shined the legendary French actor Johnny Depp. Furthermore I have never seen anything like this movie, and it's vivid insanity has a very residual effect. Superbad is self explanatory; very realistic, and very funny. One feels as if I am Legend was real: thats how great the special effects and acting was.
