Here's my Worst of 2007, in no particular order:

The "Death Proof" segment of Grindhouse
D-War
The Seeker: The Dark is Rising
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

As an addendumb, I was meaning to offer to tabulate the Worst Picture Award as part of the Blanchetivities. Instead I slept in.

Think it would be fun if everybody posts the five worst films they saw from 2007.

Here's mine:
(should this be ascending or descending?)

1. Darjeeling Limited
2. Rescue Dawn (Herzog)
3. Red Road
4. Sunshine
5. Hot Fuzz (Worst)

Was wondering about Mr. Magorium, but mostly because I keep getting it confused with a similarly titled film coming in 2008 (Mr. somebody's something Imaginarium by a well-known director).

Penelope is a modern-day fairy tale about a young woman (Christina Ricci) who has been cursed by having Richard E. Grant and Catherine O’Hara for parents. (Well, she also has the nose and ears of a pig, but that seems minor in comparison with the Mother from Hell.) The curse can only be broken when Penelope is accepted by one of “her own kind.” This is assumed to mean that she must marry one of her fellow bluebloods. Unfortunately, the blueblooded young men she encounters seem to be a bunch of wimps, who scream and run at the sight of her. She eventually meets Max (James McAvoy), who has gambled away his family fortune playing poker. Badly. He seems reluctant to break the curse, and Penelope runs away from home to see something of the world. Will they end up living happily ever after? Remember, I said this was a fairy tale. What do you think? The movie was entertaining, though a bit predictable. Reese Witherspoon produced the movie and has a small part as Penelope’s first female friend. The cast also includes Peter Dinklage as a tabloid photographer, and Nick Frost (the sidekick in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) as a poker player. Worth seeing on a cheap matinee.

The film I was trying to think of was The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus by Terry Gilliam. Unfortunately it starred Heath Ledger and Johnny Depp, so another rocky Giliam production. Was scheduled for 2008, but now I see it IMDb-ed as 2009. Probably some re-thinking and re-working to do.

Hot Fuzz just was a complete dopey let-down.
Barely got through it.

It wasn't as good as Shaun of the Dead, but I still enjoyed it.

My god, a remake of Seven Samurai is in preproduction (according to Variety). Shoot me now.

Well, there's rumors of Metropolis Redux, too, so I guess I need to be shot twice.
