The Nanny Diaries (2007)

I thought this was a really cute movie. I liked Scarlett Johanssen. The actors did great and the style of the movie was cool. It was just a pretty typical movie, but still enjoyable.

The Last Lecture of Randy Pausch (2007)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5700431505846055184 (This is the full 1:45 lecture of Randy Pausch, a professor dying of pancreatic cancer).

This lecture was so sincere and real. I really enjoyed listening to this man's final words to his class and at some point, his kids, who do not yet know that their father is dying from pancreatic cancer. Very inspirational!
It really helps me to put things in perspective with the nerve damage in my leg too, that causes leg cramps and such. There's a great part about complaining vs. "playing the game harder". And balancing hope and realism. It was just so amazing! I would definitely recommend taking some time to listen.

Lady and the Tramp (1955)

A Disney Masterpiece for sure. I love this film. This time around I noticed the beautiful music with the animation (a trademark in most Disney masterpieces), and the interesting social messages about families and living the "single" free life and realities of settling down. The dogs in this movie are just so adorable.

Raging Bull (1980)

Although a very sad movie, I was captivated throughout. Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro combine to create an amazing film.

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

This was a splendid movie. Fun and exciting to watch. Interesting choice of cinematics. Clever script. May be the best of the Ocean movies.

License To Wed (2007)

This was sort of a boring mediocre chick flick, but it had a few good laughs and wasn't a total waste of time.

A Mighty Heart (2007)

A remarkable portrayal of Daniel Pearl and his wife, journalists in Iraq. You may remember hearing the news several years ago. But the acting was just phenomenal and very emotional. It was a beautiful movie.

Disturbia (2007)

This movie was really good, despite the seemingly odd mixture of suspense, highschool drama, humor, and decent drama. There was something kind of off about it as a whole, and the end was a little disturbing, hence the title. But overall, I went in having sort of low expectations and was impressed with the acting and overall story.

No Country for Old Men (2007)

This movie was way intense. It was done so well, another amazing Coen brothers film. Phenomenal acting and compelling story. I really was impressed by the unpredictable nature of the film and the message portrayed at the end.

Planet Terror (2007)

This movie was similar to it's partner, Death Proof, in the sense that it's really awesome, but not in the typical way. I'm usually not into zombie movies, especially ones with gross bloody scenes. But they were able to make light of the situation in the movie and it almost seemed like a spoof at times. I was entertained throughout the movie, even though I probably wouldn't recommend it to most people.

Rambo: First Blood Part 2 (1985)

This movie is over the top in every way possible. It's not a good movie, but it's bad parts are humorous and entertaining, so fun at times to watch.

Death Proof (2007)

Besides having the typical appeal of women and fast cars, this movie ended up being really cool. It was a little disturbing at parts and a little too "racy" for me, but I was really into the movie and totally enjoying the plot by halfway through the movie. There is a lot of language but it is used in a semi-humorous way.

Transformers (2007)

The only cool thing about this movie was watching the transformers transform. Other than that it was, in my opinion, a disgrace to the original idea of transformers. The script was awful. The storyline was stupid. The characters were undeveloped. It was too long. I would just watch a few cool scenes on youtube to get your fix of robots in disguise.

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

This is one of the best films of the year. It is witty and clever and funny. Great acting. Just a story of 3 brothers and their journey through India. My favorite of the Wes Anderson films so far.

The Lookout (2007)

This was a great movie. Some suspense, some drama, great scenes, great idea. It is about how the characters deal with their disabilities.

Reign Over Me (2007)

This was an incredible movie. Very powerful and emotional. The acting was phenomenal. I would recommend this movie to anyone. It was about the friendship between two old college roommates who haven't seen eachother for 15 years, and the effect they have on each other and the events that have happened since then.

The Hoax (2007)

This movie was totally interesting, based off a true story of a man who made up the autobiography of Howard Hughes in order to make some money. It was really good. There were some disturbing scenes showing how this guy just gets further and further into his lies. The acting was good and the story was well re-done.

Baby Mama (2008)

This movie is not coming out until spring 2008. I got to see an unfinished version of the movie before they make cuts and final sound effects, etc. It was so awesome in the first half, totally hilarious. But it was slow and predictable in the second half. I'm hoping they will make some cuts in order to make the second half better, but even if they don't I think it was a hilarious comedy worth watching when it comes out. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were briliant. There were also great performances by Greg Kinear and Steve Martin. The movie is about a business woman who wants a baby but can't have one, so she hires a surrogate mother (poehler) to carry her baby for her.

The Painted Veil (2006)

This was a great movie. It was emotional and told a good story. There were parts that I didn't like, but overall the movie had great acting and was really good.

Scary Movie (2000)

I didn't really like this movie too much. I liked Scary Movie 3, and 4 was ok. But this one was pretty lame and I could've done without watching it.
