Top 5 movies of 2007...so far

Well it is the half-way point of 2007 and I'm sure you are wondering what movies you need to see. I'll tell you the best 5 -this isn't a subjective list -these really are the best 5. I know.

1. Zodiac

Someone, somewhere said this is the 1st movie about serial killers that seems like it was directed by a serial killer. It's not that the direction is random...it's more that it's spot-on. It feels like a documentary and given it's a true story, that's a testament to its reality. Little is embellished. It's entirely engrossing and loaded with great acting, most notably Robert Downing. And although it's about a serial killer, there's something about this movie that appeals to a wide audience. Maybe it's the lack of blood and guts shots -or the fact that it's true- or that because it's still somewhat a mystery- that the appeal is greater. See the trailer here
