Top Ten Movies of 2007
Before I list my top ten movies of 2007, I'll tell you why is been so long since I've really been on the site.
First i was busy with my first job before my hours got cut, then i was barely making enough to pay anything, so I got a second job, well only having one day off a week takes it toll after a while and I was getting tired of the way I was being treated at the movies so i quit, and now I just have one job, 2 days off Sat and Wednesday, at least 20 hours a week.
Second I've had internet problems, I bought a router for my computer so I could connect my two computers and wii to one box, well it worked for two days then quit, so I'm hoping that this one will last longer, I have been checking the site from time to time checking my queue, but haven't had to to respond to anyone, so I'm am sorry for not getting back to anybody when has messeged me in the last few months I will try to be on as much as I can, and I will respond to anyone who has sent me a message, and feel free to still pm me I aplogize ahead of time if it takes me awhile to respond.
Since that is done I'll list my top ten movies of 2007, I will say having a free movie pass while working at the movies had its advantages, and even I'm a little surprised at the turn out of this years list.
1. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
2. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
3. Transformers
4. The Bourne Ultimatum
5. The Seeker: The Dark is Rising
6. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
7. Alvin and the Chipmunks
8. The Game Plan
9. Underdog
10. Spider-Man 3
I'll go back to my theme blogs with my next one.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Character of the Blog
Hermione Granger
Hermione Granger portrayed by Emma Watson in the films is Ron and Harry's best friend, she is very smart and intelligent, able to concocts complicated potions, and memorize tough spells, Harry and Ron didn't care for Hermione at first, but after the troll incident in their first year, they became friends, and since then have looked to Hermione with help on homework, and as well as other things, Hermione is the sensible one which irritates Harry and Ron at times, though she has become more relaxed since the first year and is not as against breaking the rules, one example is talking Harry into teaching Defense against the dark arts in their 5th year when Umbridge refuses to do so.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer/Ratatouille
Its been awhile since I've blogged sorry about that, I guess I really had nothing to blog about, well this blog is another movie, or double movie blog on to movies I've seen recently Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Ratatouille.

![]()
Starring: Loan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis, and Julian McMahon.
The fantastic four face a new threat, as well as an old one, but is this silver surfer the real threat or is he working for somebody much more powerful?
I think this movie was better then its predecessor, it has a lot more action, and the effects are pretty good too.

Starring the voices of: Patton Oswalt, Ian Holm, John Ratzenberger, Brad Garrett, and Peter O'Toole
Ratatouille is about a rat named Remy, who ends up in Paris after being separated from his family, he dreams of being a cook, and meets a clumsy garbage boy named Linguini, but is Linguini all that he is cracked up to be? Or are there great things in store for him that not even he is aware of?
Another Disney/Pixar masterpiece the animation is amazing as always, the story is well written, and the acting is great.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Now on to the blog....


Starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush, Jack Davenport, Lee Arenberg, Mackenzie Cook, Naomie Harris, Kevin R. McNally.

Picking up where Dead Man's Chest left off, Will, Elizabeth, Barbossa, and the others travel to the end's of the earth to rescue Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl from Davy Jones locker, then in a climatic battle with the british royal navy and Davy Jones himself, they fight to determine the fate of all pirates.
The movie was amazing, it was sad, and funny and romantic, and the battle sequences where incredible, I recommend this movie to anyone thats a pirates fan, if you liked the first two, you will more then likely like this one, if you haven't seen the first two I would strongly recommend seeing them before watching this one, it will be better to follow if you do.

Bridge To Terabithia

Starring: AnnaSophia Robb, Josh Hutcherson, Zooey Dischanel, Robert Patrick, Kate Butler.
Based on the book by Katerine Paterson, its about a boy named Jess who always gets picked on in school, and doesn't have many friends.
Until a new girl named Leslie moves to the area, not only does she get picked on because she doesn't have a tv, but she seems to have much of the same interest as Jess, the two become fast friends, and together they create the magical world of Terabithia, the more time they spend together the closer they become.
Great movie, I've never read the book, but i enjoyed the movie so much I went back and saw it again the very next day.
Today's my Birthday
Yep, March 8th the day of my birth, I was really suppose to be born on March 28th, so I was two weeks premature, had I been born on March 28th I'd be an Aries instead of a pieces (a fish).
So gift wise, I got a new vcr/dvd combo, since my old one kept skipping everytime I'd watch a movie, and I got a check from my grandma, so I'm going to be saving up for a wii.
Happy Birthday to anyone else who's birthday is March 8th too.

Snape: Good or Evil?
For me it's a toss up, part of me wants to believe that Snape is good, that he and Dumbledore had some sort of plan that lead him to do what he did, the other part thinks that Snape's true colors where shown, that is was his loyalty to Voldemort and his concern for only himself that lead him to do it.
So what I want to know is do you trust Snape? Or do you think his loyalty has always been to Voldemort?
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows release date!
It has just been announced that the final Harry Potter book:

so a movie and a book the same month, sounds pretty good to me.
