Best Movies Of 2007 #81-#71

I added Across The Universe to the list since the last update.

#81 - The Astronaut Farmer - About once a year this kind of uplifting but ultimately fluff film is released. This one was a pretty good story, but nothing spectacular.

#80 - Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer - A film that's worth seeing if only for it's story. The Silver Surfer is an outstanding character, but how did they manage to make Galactus more realistic and less interesting at the same time? As always the writing and the acting is passable at best.

#79 - You Kill Me - An indie film with an interesting premise, though the result is a little boring.

#78 - Bee Movie - The most overhyped film of the year, Bee Movie is passable and funny at times, though it's far from the best animated movie of the year.

#77 - Alpha Dog - An interesting story with some gritty performances, but it's obviously not very memorable.

#76 - Shooter - It's a junk picture, but the performances are above average and the story isn't half bad.

#75 - The Hoax - Richard Gere stars in a solid bio-pic about a complete fraud. It's got a few good performances, but the story has it's flaws.

#74 - Bella - The indiest of indie movies I've seen this year, Bella has a great story but suffers from too many cutesy moments.

#73 - Blades Of Glory - The type of movie that's a lot of fun while you're watching it but fades quickly with time. A far cry from Anchorman.

#72 - The Kingdom - All glitz and flash with questionable substance. Anyone surprised that it's directed by Tony Scott?

#71 - Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon The Movie Film For Theaters - If you like the show you'll like the movie. If not... you will hate this movie with a fiery passion that burns forever. Easily the most absurd movie of the year.
