I just saw Pan's Labrynith. Excellent movie... if a teensy bit overrated.
Although - the pale man is one of the creepiest movie monsters ever. Eeeaaakkk!

Shrek the Third: It hasn't been getting too good of reviews, but I liked it! I wouldn't say it's as good as the first two, but it was cute - I liked that it had references that little kids wouldn't get.
I'm glad I saw it instead of Spiderman 3, or worse, the new POTC (because the second one was bad enough).

Actually, having seen Pirates twice, I can say it's not as bad as the second one. I heard that USA Today gave it half a star, which is downright ridiculous. These days, people walk into the theater already knowing how they're going to feel after they've walked out, and they build movies up just so they can tear them down again later.

That was probably Saw 4.
Mainly because I wanted to find out what it was that people were getting all excited about and freaked out by.
I thought it was ...well, stupid would be an accurate enough definition. They fell for the "traps" way, way too easily. I don't think it's possible for a rational person to like that movie, as you'll be sitting there thinking: "what do you think you're doing? You're going to get yourself killed. Pfft, no, don't do that. Who'd do that? *insert eye rolling action*"
Honestly ...what were the script people thinking?

I saw PoTC 3. I actually liked it better than the second one. I didn't think it was that bad. Which is strange because pretty much everyone I know either hated it or said it was worse than the second. I thought the second was decent, but not amazing. I liked this one much better than Dead Man's Chest.

Pirates 3.
I think I found the problem with Critics.
Their attention span is 90 minutes, so a film that is genuinely interesting is beyond them.
Betraying eachother for no reason..
Maybe I'm just a spiteful traitor, but every single double cross made sense in the, VERY long winded schemes of some of those characters (Do you think he plans it this way or just makes it up as he goes along...).
Oh. and the Flying dutchman is still way awesome.
Not so obvious plot hook spoiler
For those unaware, a deleted scene reveals that if the captain of the dutchman does his duty, returns to port and finds his true love still faithfull, then he is released of his duty. Hence Squid faces conversation with Calypso at how she betrayed him

Knocked Up: Hilarious. It definitely deserves its R rating though. I liked The 40 YOV more because of Steve Carell but this movie had many great moments too. (Including a great cameo by Ryan Seacrest) This is probably my favorite movie of 2007 so far (Either this, or Blades of Glory).

Wild Hogs. I still don't understand how John Travolta's character managed to
while remaining the hero of the film. I wasn't crazy about it, but it was in a double feature with PoTC3, so I'm not really bothered by it.
