Films
Son of Rambow (Garth Jennings, 2007)
Former promo director Garth Jennings made a splash at Sundance in 2006 when he sold Son of Rambow for major dollars.
The Orphanage (Juan Antonio Bayona, 2007)
Taking his cues from Victorian stories, Edgar Allen Poe and producer Guillermo del Toro, first-time director Juan Antonio Bayona has fashioned a brilliant horror film that reorients the genre’s compass from schlock to shocks.
There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2007)
Five years after Punch-Drunk Love, an older, wiser, more wildly ambitious PTA extravaganza hits the screen.
No Country For Old Men (Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, 2007)
Javier Bardem creates one of the great screen nut jobs in Anton Chigurh – a homicidal drug dealer stalking Josh Brolin across the dust-caked southern states to retrieve a suitcase full of cash.
In The Valley of Elah (Paul Haggis, 2007)
It’s fun to hate Paul Haggis for Crash and Casino Royale, but annoyingly, In The Valley of Elah is really, really good.
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (Jonathan Levine, 2006)
This is a bold attempt by Jonathan Levine to bring some indie cred to the slasher genre, but despite the classy soundtrack and bleached visuals it never gets going. Why?
In the Shadow of the Moon (David Sington, 2007)
It’s easy to forget that space is awesome. The longer we go without actually discovering a race of intergalactic Barbarellas, the more humdrum that empty sky seems.
