I enjoyed The Fountain too. I also found it fairly easy to work out what was going on in it as well.

Has anyone seen the Number 23 or Death Proof?

Both share the spot of worst film of 2007 IMO.

Yeah, i saw deathproof. I thought it was awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed it. But i'm a tarantino entusiast so i was expecting as much. I was just gutted it wasn't released as grindhouse.

Have to agree with others here and say golden compass was absolute garbage. Shouldn't have been adapted. Not even sam elliott made it any better.

Well good news for you is that Japan will get a not 1, not 2, not even 3, or 4, or 5... but a bloody 6 DVD Boxset (which includes the full Grindhouse cut)!!! The Japanese always get mental DVD sets and I've never understood why. I had to go to Japan to get the full uncut versions of Kill Bill (ok I could've bought them online but decided to pick them up whilst I was on holiday).

Expect to shell out around £50-£70 for it though lol.

Worst film I saw this year? The Brave One

What a pile of tosh. The only thing stopping me walking out was the fact that Jodie Foster was in it.

The Simpsons Movie had it's share of laughs, but I agree with people who say it was a massive disappointment. You have to have 'emotion' and 'feeling', but they just milked it too much and completely over-saturated the film in it. It felt leaden. Which is a shame because when it was on form (those few, gleaming moments), it was BANG ON.

I watched Porky's 2 the other night, that was a rattle of shite.

I "recommended" Dream Girls to my Mum during the Christmas holidays. Hadn't seen it myself at that point, but thought it would a fairly clean-cut story (suitable for Mum) with some half decent music given it was based on the Supremes. The music was horrible, bore no relation to the Supremes or early Motown, it was just warbling X Factor / Whitney Houston style vocals with ludicrous, over the top, orchestral arrangements. Thankfully Mum had the good sense to turn it off after an hour. Now my worst film of 2007.

I'd second that - it was ding. A bunch of overrated "divas" trying to out whoa-oo-oaa yea-eeaah each other with some musical numbers that went on forever.

Pish.

Number 23. Woohoo, an obsession with a number. A film with no substance. A shame because I think Jim Carrey is usually very good.
