Movies to Start off the New Year....sort of

"Sort of," because this list is actually an overlap of end-of-2006 and early-2007 movies that I saw...

NOVEMBER:

Casino Royale (2006): A-
[Note: Best Bond movie ever, in my humble opinion. For once, I feel as though I can actually understand and relate to that strange 007 psyche that I used to see as barbaric and womanizing (albeit also oftentimes witty, daring and enticing).]

DECEMBER: (Did I really only see one flick in December? Sad.)

Rocky Balboa (2006): B-

JANUARY (Don't ask why I watched these first four flicks):

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003): D+

The Punisher (2004): F-
[Note: Worst movie I've seen in a long, long time; it boggles my mind that they're making a sequel! 28% on Rotten, but I think it deserves a 0%.]

Lake Placid (1999): F

Blade II: Bloodhunt (2002): D-

Dirty Pretty Things (2003): A-

The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen (2000): B/B+
[Note: Has anyone seen both this version and the old one, who can let me know if it's worth my while to go back to the original?]

Gone With The Wind (1939): A-/A

Seabiscuit (2003): A-

The Rainmaker (1997): B/B+

United 93 (2006): B/B+

My Fair Lady (1964): B+/A-

Ying xiong, a.k.a. Hero (2002): B+/A-
