The miVi Top Ten Films of 2007 - an introduction

In 2006, while going through all the movies I saw that year, I was very impressed with how many actually left me pleased and yearning to discuss them further. This lead me to create blog entries dedicated to my top 10 favourite films of 2006:
#10 - An Inconvenient Truth (I later watched The Departed months after creating this list so that would've likely bumped this one.)
#9 - Brick
#8 - Curious George (that's right!)
#7 - Children of Men
#6 - Pan's Labyrinth
#5 - The Queen
#4 - Clerks 2
#3 - Superman Returns
#2 - Stranger Than Fiction
#1 - Little Miss Sunshine

Now a new year has passed for me to reflect on the films that wowed me for the last 365 days. Thing is, I hardly went to the movies or rented anything and the few I did see were mediocre at best. There are definitely enough to make up a top 10 list but in all honesty, numbers 4-10 would be fillers. So now I present to you my Top THREE (3) favourite films of 2007.

Naturally though, I must begin with my least favourite. And calling them "least favourite" is being polite. I HATED these movies (in my defence, two of them were rentals picked by someone else.)
Music & Lyrics
I Think I Love My Wife
Spiderman 3

Spiderman 3 was a movie that also inspired me to write an extensive blog entry but I never finished it. Who knows? Maybe one day I will share with you my thoughts on that movie in a thesis titled: "Why a Third Addition In a Comic Book Movie Franchise Always Sucks".

Honourable Mentions for 2007 are:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Hot Fuzz
(Don't ask me why I couldn't slot these in to round out an handsome Top Five list. I guess they were great and I will watch them again and again but they didn't seem like they belong on a Top Five list.)

Anyway, stay tuned for my entries on the films that made Top 3 for me!

Phone call with my mom...

Mom: Hi. I have a question... That Malibu rum you bought at New Year's... is it still good?
Me: Should be.
Mom: What do you have it with?
Me: You can try Coke. One sec... [aside] Mel? What would you put with Malibu rum?
Mom: Oh Mel's there?
Mel: HI!
[I hand over the phone]
Back and forth conversation between the two involving Mel's new cat, Mel's mom who's in the Philippines as well as the answer her Malibu rum question...
Mel: Oh just juice... hahaha... okay, did you want to talk to Michelle again?... Oh, okay... bye.
