    1. The Silence Before Bach
    2. Still Life
    3. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days
    4. The Flight of the Red Balloon
    5. Paranoid Park

    I definitely had one or two of those on my top 10 of 2007 list.
    Wishful thinking, perhaps; but that is just another possible definition of the featherless biped.

    The four I liked are:

    In Bruges
    The Fall
    Forgetting Sarah Marshall
    Cloverfield


    I also saw Doomsday and Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, but they were pretty mediocre.

    My best theater experience was seeing Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on a big screen this past Saturday. Honestly, I teared up during the final forty minutes - they're just so perfect.

    1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall - 7.5
    2. Cloverfield - 7.5
    3. Baby Mama - 7.0
    4. Be Kind Rewind - 6.5


    I'll be seeing Speed Racer and Iron Man sometime this week, hopefully.
