Better late than never, here are Khyron's picks for the Top 10 movies of 2007. As with last year, I would like to remind my readers that the list will be mostly limited to films in the genres of sci-fi, action, horror, and drama because, well...those are the movies I tend to go see.

This list will begin with number 10 and move down to my favorite, number 1 movie of 2007.

10. 3:10 To Yuma

Christian Bale + Russell Crowe + western = good times. Some of the best gun-play shootouts I have ever seen. Full Review.

9. The Simpsons Movie

I had my doubts, but The Simpsons Movie was everything this long time fan could have hoped for. Full Review.

8. 300

Not as good as its graphic novel source material (but then when is it ever?), Zach Snyder's 300 is a groundbreaking work of stylized filmmaking that might just go down as the new The Matrix when it comes to influencing action films to come. Full Review.

7. Eastern Promises

I didn't get a chance to see this one in theaters, but I decided to pick it up on the now ill fated HD-DVD format. Powerful stuff. Full frontal Viggo Mortenson aside, Eastern Promises is one of the more thoughtful (if not brutal) mobster movies in years. Also a plus is that it focuses on the lesser covered Russian mob.

6. Sunshine

Slower paced and highly imaginative, Sunshine is a welcome change from the usual summer blockbusters being hyped as sci-fi classics nowadays. The final act still doesn't sit well with me, but some of the shots in this film are nothing short of unforgettable. Full Review.

5. Zodiac

A new-age crime drama classic, David Fincher's Zodiac is a prime example of meticulous storytelling and attention to detail. It's long, it's talky...but damn is it good. Full Review.

4. Hot Fuzz

Shaun of the Dead is a classic, Hot Fuzz is close. More of the same witty dialog and movie references that made Shaun funny, only the plot gets overly complicated. Full Review.

3. The Bourne Ultimatum

I'm not sure what movie I saw, but my initial review was far too harsh on it. After a 2nd viewing, I now consider this easily the best of the trilogy and straight up one of the best spy dramas of all time. The pacing in this film is just breathtaking. Full Review.

2. No Country For Old Men

A critic and fan favorite, No Country For Old Men is a gripping crime narrative featuring easily one of the best villains in cinema history. Violent, thought provoking, and utterly entertaining, its one of the Coen Brothers' best. Full Review.

1. Grindhouse

Odds are you didn't see this movie. Shame on you. Each part of this double feature is now available on DVD, but it's just not the same without the fake trailers and in-theater experience. With names like Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Michael Biehn, Danny Trejo, Kurt Russell, Josh Brolin, Nicholas Cage, and Bruce Willis attached to it, it's enough for any cult movie junkie to overdose on cool. Full Review.

Now I leave you with the movies that didn't quite make the list, plus my pick for worst film of 2007. The following are the rest of the movies I saw, but didn't make the top 10 list:

-Live Free or Die Hard
-The Kingdom
-28 Weeks Later
-I Am Legend
-Halloween
-Beowulf
-30 Days of Night
-Resident Evil Extinction
-Shoot 'Em Up

And now finally, the worst movie of 2007:

-Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem

What a complete disappointment. Despite so many promises that the Strause brothers were going to make good on all the crappiness that was Paul Anderson's AvP, they somehow managed to make a worse film. Crap characters, junk plot, and retardation throughout, it made me embarrassed to be an Alien and Predator fan. Full Review.
