Bext of 2007: Film

It’s that time of year when everyone is sharing their best of 2007’s. So first off, my top ten movies that I saw (not necessarily released) in two thousand seven. As many of you may or may not know, a substantial amount of my time and *little* money go to watching movies. But, I wasn’t able to see everything I’d have like to due to; geographical location, said time, and said money. It’s possible I may have forgotten gems of my early 2007 past, but this will do for now.

My bext Flicks of 2007:

1. There Will Be Blood

2. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

3. No Country For Old Men

4. Mouchette

5. Manufactured Landscapes

6. Maya Deren Short Films

7. Hot Fuzz

8. The Lives of Others

9. I am Curious Yellow/Blue

10. Sunshine

I didn’t get to see these before the clock stroke midnight, but I have a feeling one or more of these would have been on this list. Still looking forward to them in 08’:

Czech Dream-

“CZECH DREAM, a documentary-comedy, had an impact on the real lives of many Czech people. On the last day of May 2003, thousands of people gathered on a field in a Prague quarter called Letnany because an advertising campaign for a hypermarket promised them unbelievably low prices. However, the crowd merely found itself standing in front of a linen faćade, not a real hypermarket. This "friendly hoax" was a part of the project of two film students, Vit Klusak and Filip Remunda. These two filmmakers had ordered a leading advertising company to coordinate a promotional campaign for a nonexistent product: a hypermarket. Their goal was to document how a credible advertising campaign can be effective even if its product is not based on reality. This funny and alarming movie takes a close look at advertising professionals, film directors, psychologists, analysts, Czech celebrities, hypermarket directors, and consumers in the context of the tempting world of consumption that most of us are captured by everyday.
