Top 10 Films of 2007

With my first post of 2008, I have decided to run through my top 10 films of last year which were released in South Africa - this is important as some films that have already debuted in America in 2007, will not be released until 2008 here. It should be noted that i have not seen every film, and so would have missed out on some classics, either due to time (I am still a student at Varsity), or because I felt some films contained material that was not too my liking (such as extreme gore for instance). As well, I have not written a review for every film I did see.
So from the films I did get around to seeing, here are my top 10:

10. The Pursuit of Happyness
Review not available.

9. The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne Ultimatum is a rare breed of action thriller films: it's constantly action packed, always story driven, never without intrigue, and a very fun watch with a coolness factor that surpasses even the likes of Steve McQueen himself. It's sad to have to say that its ultimateness has to be barred by a constant shaking camera, but even with that, the final Bourne film is easily one of the best in cinema today.
9/10

8. Curse of the Golden Flower
As an instant classic, Curse of the Golden Flower continues where the amazingly beautiful Hero and House of Flying Daggers left off, and moves into it's own direction. The only concern with the film is it's monotonous music, but that doesn't stop it being a dazzling film with amazing acting, a solid story, lush cinematography and awesome, if a little weak, action sequences.
9/10

7. The Queen
Review not available.

6. The Host
Review not available.

5. The Presitge
Review not available.

4. Sunshine
Sunshine illuminates itself into the best that cinema has to offer. Every aspect is well conceived in its execution, but it is not without its faults. These however, never distract from what is ultimately an entertaining and thought provoking experience.
9/10

3. The Fountain
Review not available.

2. The Lives of Others
Review not available.

1. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
While Robert Ford’s bullet was effective in hitting its intended target, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, sadly, misses by a few inches. The story is engaging, if a little inaccurate and a little too much to digest in regards to the films length; the acting is of a sublime quality; the music is well placed and fits the films overall mood nicely, and the cinematography is absolutely breathtaking in its simplicity, but becomes overused. If you can survive till the films conclusion, and honestly if you cannot then it is a real shame, you will have watched one of the best films to grace 2007. The name of Jesse James still lives on, but now in a far more grand state.
9/10
