Another topical post.
BEST FILM I SAW IN 2007
Tricky. My gut reaction is either Sunshine or 30 Days of Night.
BEST TV SHOW I WATCHED IN 2007
The future episode of Heroes. Awesome.
BEST COMIC I READ IN 2007
Again, tricky. The last issue of Ultimates 2 with the 8 page spread. The beginning and last issues of The Sinestro Corps War was as good as Star Wars.
BEST BOOK I READ IN 2007
To be honest, there haven't been many new books I've read this year, mainly been re-reading those already in my collection. So, by that definition the best book I own is Run so that by default is the best book I read in 2007.
BEST SONG I LISTENED TO IN 2007
Drama Queen by The Switches or the theme from Hot Fuzz
BEST VIDEO GAME I PLAYED IN 2007
Gitarro Man Lives for the PSP.

Film review: Sunshine
Sunshine @ IMDB
First off all, rather than going to my usual rubbish cinema I went to the one in the next town over which is the same chain but much much better.
Well, hobbled there all thanks to my smashed up toe.
Myself and my friends got there about 40 minutues before it started and being that the cinema is so close to the town centre we thought we'd go grab a burger. Now, the time for the film was 1645 and the guy at the counter said it would start at five past five. We roll back in at the cinema just before 5, go to our screen and the damn film had already started.
Son of a bitch.
So, unless something really cool/rubbish happened in the first few minutes, take my review with a pinch of salt. Basically, I loved it. Loved the concept, loved the look of the film, liked the performemces. Even Chris Evans who was such a plank in Fantastic Four came out of the film with some kudos.
Yes, you can argue that the film does borrow heavily from other films in similar genres; you've got the setting of Alien, mix that with a bit of Event Horizon but much much much better and finally season with 2001. But in the same way that Shaun of The Dead borrowed from films in it's genres, Sunshine is it's own film that can stand proudly on it's own two feet.
Will be getting the DVD. As for a weapon, one of those three sectioned nunchukas.
And finally, as promised earlier:
Oh, my lord, did wearing shoes and trying to walk hurt. Hurt real, real bad.
