Best Movies of 2007 #90-#81

#90 - The Brave One - Jodie Foster stars in a sorta re-make of Death Wish. It's exactly what you think it is.

#89 - Catch And Release - A little sappy and melodramatic, but it tells a decent story and has good performances from start to finish.

#88 - Black Snake Moan - Sam Jackson needs to stop making overhyped movies with "Snake" in the title, it's not working out for him. It's not really a bad picture, but it's a little undercooked as a concept.

#87 - Bridge To Terabithia - A dumb little movie until the halfway point when one hell of a sucker-punch blindsides the viewer and changes everything about the film.

#86 - Fred Claus - It's a hell of a lot better than those damn Santa Clause movies, but that still doesn't mean it's any good.

#85 - The Comebacks - A surprisingly good parody of sports movies that actually has a lot of laughs in it as opposed to the usual assortment of lame-ass fart jokes and racial stupidity.

#84 - Shrek The Third - Talk about diminishing returns, the last two sequels should have went straight to DVD and this one is even worse than the second one.

#83 - The Host - A Korean horror movie that also serves as a good political satire.

#82 - Hostel: Part II - It's pretty much the same movie as the first one, though it does shit all over the ending of the first film, so if you liked it you'll like this one too.

#81 - Transformers - The year's biggest popcorn film looks great while you're watching it but the further you get away from it the dumber you realize it is. Basically, it's this year's Van Helsing.
