Letters from Iwo Jima was only released in a limited number of theaters very late in '06 for the sole purpose of the Oscar hunt. I guess its a bit of a technicality.

Letters is another I have but haven't seen yet - and I'm a little embarrassed by that since I threw a hissy-fit when it didn't play around here theatrically.

But since I have the week off I plan to remedy that (along with a few others I've yet to watch).

Flags of Our Fathers I did see theatrically (and a few times on DVD). I personally loved it, but it got a lukewarm reception.

I've been meaning to watch Flags and Letters for a while now, and I actually have both films ripped to my hard drive (courtesy of Netflix), but I never got around to watching. I recently picked both films up on HD-DVD format, about a month ago, got them for like 8 bucks a piece, and I still have not watched them on that format either. Now that I think of it, guess I can delete it from my HD and free up about 16 gigs. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to watching both and they are two titles that I plan on squeezing in for the challenge.

The Borne Ultimatum is definitely on my Faves 07 list. Fucking awesome movie.

Finally, a film from 2007 that I actually liked!

SUNSHINE by Danny Boyle. Whup ass!

I'm up to 2 movies from '07 and here's how I rank them.

300
Smokin' Aces

Don't watch a lot of movies eh RII?


300 was snubbed at the Oscars, very upset with this one. Granted, I didn't expect it to get nominated for acting, or directing (even though I thought both were above average) but I thought it would at least get nods in Cinematography, Visual Effects, Sound, Sound Effects, Sound Effects Editing, Costume Design (or the lack there of), Adaptation (even though I didn't read the graphic novel) or SOMETHING! My point is, there are several categories where I thought 300 could have, and should have, atleast been nominated, even if it didn't end up winning. Just unbelievable...

Not really. Since 2000, I've seen ATOC, ROTS, and the 2nd Lord of the Rings movie in the theaters. We have HBO, which is where I saw Smokin' Aces last night, but I rarely watch the new movies. Typically, I can't just sit there and watch a DVD/movie/tv show. I usually am doing something else like surfin' the net, playing a game, or sorting through sports cards.

I am adding Across the Universe to my list.

Fuck you.

Dont be pissed at me because your mommy wont let you watch it.

No, I'm pissed because Across the Universe is equivalent to taking a shit on George Harrison's corpse.

Alot of work to dig up the corpse? Explain yourself boy or be banned.

Meh, I'd rather be banned than ever have to see that movie.

Explain what you meant by the George Harrison comment
