My Choices for Oscar's Best Picture of 2007

With the Oscars airing on Sunday night, I figured I'd tell you folks my favorite movies for last year. I made my choice for the movies that should of been nominated for best picture. Movie critics are always wrapping up the year with lists of their favorite and worst movies. I guess I can do the same. Funny thing is my favorite movie of the year is also on my list for the fourth worst movie of the year. Go figure.

Let's not beat around the bush. My favorite movie of the year was "Michael Clayton," starring that guy who used to be on ER. I noticed it's nominated for an Oscar for best picture, so I clearly have good taste in movies. Rounding out my list, in order of preference, is "Sweeney Todd," "Away From Her" and "The Golden Compass." If you haven't seen them, I recommend you check these movies out when they come to your video store.

Of course, I only saw four movies last year. So my list of worst movies, starting from the bottom up, is "Michael Clayton," "Sweeney Todd," "Away from Her" and, clearly the worst movie of the year, based on all of the ones I saw, is "The Golden Compass." If these come to your local video store, don't waste your money.

I'll be back with some new posts soon. I'm itching to tell you about a little fight me and some of the boys had, and how I tried to solve it. I also had the strangest encounter with someone from the International Brotherhood of Saints Alliance. Then, I still want to get around to tell you about Dee and her car keys.
