Since the Academy has given away their awards (semi-skewed since comedies and horror movies get zero consideration) I figure I'll post my list of top movies of the last year.  Many of these will be coming out on video soon or already have.  If you're bored enough to be reading this, chances are you might also be in the market for a deese (decent) rental, so please feel free to let me know what you think of any of these sweet-ass movies. 

Eastern Promises - really solid all around, Naomi Watts teeth and gums appear grey in color though, which bummed me out because she's my brother Dominic's 1 chick that he wants to bang.  TONS of Viggo Mortensen's ball sack during a gratuitious nude fight scene in a gay-seeming Russian shower/bathhouse thing.

The Bourne Ultimatum - I'm not embarassed to rank this movie this high.  The whole trilogy is dope.  Julia Stiles may be an actual (or literal depending on your preferred vernacular) robot.  Matt Damon real cool.  The guy who plays the scary hitman is the shit too, so rugged. 

5 No Country for Old Men - I was semi-disappointed because I thought the trailer made it look like it was going to be one of my favorites of all time, right up my alley.  It was extremely good though and worth watching just for how sick Javier Bardem was.  His haircut looked EXACTLY, and I really do mean EXACTLY like mine did in middle school.

4 Gone Baby Gone - I wanted to hate this, never been a big fan of Ben Affleck, except for Gigli.  Literally hardest I've ever laughed at a movie was watching Gigli with a bunch of my friends in a room drunk.  We kept pausing these heinous faces Affleck would make when he was doing his fake Italian gangster thing.  But he directed this movie, and it was really good.  The girl that plays the annoying Boston bitch is amazing.  Ed Harris, good looking man.

3 There Will be Blood - I don't think I have anything to say that not everyone has said already.  I was actually a little scared that the movie would be slow like Magnolia or some of PTA's other movies so I was reluctant to finally watch it.  This movie isn't slow at all.  I honestly think I could enjoy watching Daniel Day Lewis get dental work done.  I could enjoy watching him open a can of Chef Boyardee brand ravioli-snack (tm) without a can opener. 

2 30 Days of Night - Hands down the scariest movie I've ever seen.  I honestly couldn't believe how fucking scary this thing was.  Scary movies don't affect me.  I went into this thinking 'well if vampires are involved, it won't scare me because vampires aren't real and supernatural things don't scare me at all.'  Well, now I believe in vampires.  In empty parking lots late at night I listen for vampire sounds and honestly believe that one could come out and bite my face at any moment.  My friend Nick walked out of this after 10 minutes because he couldn't handle the tremens it was causing him.  I beg you to watch this movie if you haven't seen it and you like scary movies.

1 Michael Clayton -  George Clooney is a God.  If I ever get married I'll let...no, no, I'll encourage my wife to have sex with him.  In fact, it may be mandatory.  Yup, I've decided, any woman I marry will have to have had sex with George Clooney, consensual or non, at least once.  There it is.  This movie was the shit. 

Alright, if you're bored send me your lists, I'm sure there's a bunch of good shit I haven't seen.  I'm on a real movie bender right now, looking for some good suggestions.

I love you.

30 Days of Night was awesome. getting to Barrow by airplane only is no bullshit. my mom used to work the Pipeline. I was more amazed at how they made New Zealand look like Alaska. I spent 19 years in Alaska and I found it to be highly believable.

if you haven't, check out

The Darjeeling Limited (Wes Anderson)
Once
Balls of Fury (I don't care, it was FUNNY. Walken was awesome)
Death Proof
Death at a Funeral
La Vie En Rose (Cotillard DESERVED that Oscar)

if you wanna go older or old school, check out

-Hard Candy (Ellen Page's first breakout role. you find yourself rooting for both the good AND the bad guy and then questioning your own ethics about the whole thing. deeply disturbing film, she should've been nominated for THIS one)

-Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (Michael Rooker's creepiest role, based on the life of Henry Lee Lucas)

-The War Zone (a REALLY dysfunctional family. Tim Roth directed and it is disturbing as fuck.)

-The Hamiltons (was part of Horrorfest 2006 and is basically Leave it to Beaver meets The Devil's Rejects)

-Clay Pigeons (Vince Vaughn, Janeane Garofalo, Joaquin Phoenix)

-1941 (Spielberg's film between Close Encounters and Raiders and has a LITERAL cast of thousands; Dan Aykroyd, Belushi, John Candy, Robert Stack, Slim Pickens, list goes on and on. one of the BEST MOVIES EVER)

-Bob Roberts (Tim Robbins should've got an Oscar for this movie. he is just EVIL.)

-Candy (Heath Ledger is really fucking great in this movie about love and heroin)

-Cannibal! The Musical (pre South Park, about Alferd Packer who was convicted of cannibalism in Colorado)

-Phone (Korean horror movie. pretty freakin sweet)

-One Missed Call (the Chinese version, NOT the crappy american remake)

-The Eye (again, the Japanese version and NOT the piece of shit we put out)

-Volcano High (Korean kung-fu movie dubbed by peeps like Snoop Dogg, Andre 3000, Tracy Morgan, Mya, Lil, Jon, Kelis...it's AWESOME. when MTV aired it a few years back, I bought it the next day.)

-Kung-Fu Hustle, God of Cookery, Shaolin Soccer, The King of Comedy...Stephen Chow is THE SHIT.

-Vamp (Grace Jones as a killer vampire with great tits and that kid from Meatballs. nuff said.)

-The Last House on The Left (based on the b&w film 'Virgin Spring' and Wes Craven's first film. it ain't "BOO scary but it'll trip out your shit nonetheless)

happy hunting!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was terrified of 30 Days of Nights. Every time I leave my house, I'm constantly looking on the roof to see if there are any vampires there. And I love George Clooney.

I thought the Departed was an awesome movie. I am a huge Jack Nicholson fan though. Thanks for your list.

I really did loathe the Bourne Ultimatum. All of the car chases just made me tired. But you're probably right about Julia Stiles being a robot.

I don't think I've got a list of good movies that I've seen, but I do have a list of stupid ones. One being Stardust... Wow... DeNiro playing a cross-dressing pirate with a flying ship that catches lightning? No thanks. That movie Jumper is also pretty horrible, except Samuel L. Jackson with metallic silver hair is pretty solid.

For good movies that you didn't list, I would suggest Awake (which was alright) and Beowulf, which was entertaining. There is always Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp singing about slitting peoples' throats.

Ok. I will marry you! I guess I could make the sacrifice of having sex and merlot with George Clooney but only because it is mandatory. The sacrifices I make for you...lol

I'm embarrassed to see that you left the documentary, 'Toilet', off your list. It was a touching story of a toilet's life. You are covered in farts and gay blood.

i used to think you were covered in "straight blood", but just like nick predicted, the blood in which covers your body is in fact completely gay.
and yes, clooney should gratuitously fuck every man woman and child in this dumb fucking world

Patrick,

I couldn't agree more with your take on all these movies. I haven't seen There Will Be Blood though. But I can't wait. JUST saw 30 days of Night over the weekend and FREAKED out. WOW so scary. Best vampire movie in a really long time. And George was UNREAL in Michael Clayton. What a fantastic husband you will be to allow George Clooney sex.
