Well, with only three months left in this fairly average year, I thought I would (as per tradition) let you all in on the films that I am particularly looking forward to.  If you would like to check out the trailers to these future gems of wonder, simply click the poster accompanying each entry of witty pop-culture-laden barb.  You should know how these things work by now, friendo.

Without further ado, I present my list of

The Top Ten Movies I'm Looking Forward To That Are Left to Be Released in 2007...EVER

10. Elizabeth: The Golden Age

I never even saw the frigging first one.  But the way that Cate Blanchett screams in this trailer...woof!  I'd pay money to see more of that.  In fact, I'd pay good money to see Cate Blanchett in any capacity...

9. I'm Not There

...even if she was a dude.  Yes, in this flick, Cate Blanchett plays Bob Dylan (as do lots of other delightful actors).  It's strange and trippy and GD creative.  They're saying she could earn a Best Actress nomination.  For playing a man.  That's just damn impressive.

8. American Gangster

I've never once been disappointed by Ridley Scott.  Add in Russell Crowe and Denzel and I'm there on opening night.

7. Lars and the Real Girl

I love Ryan Gosling like McAdams loves Gosling.  In this movie, he falls in love with a sex doll.  Comedy?  Drama?  Does it matter?  No.  Because he's awesome, and so are sex dolls.

6. Beowulf

The last time Robert Zemeckis used motion capture to make a movie (The Polar Express), I was transfixed at an instant classic.  Here he uses the same technology and makes a bloody, R-rated attempt at the old fable.  And it looks effing RADICAL.

5. Bee Movie

I would listen to Jerry Seinfeld read me the phonebook.  And I have.  Twice, in fact.  It's been a decade since the greatest sitcom ever, so this has to be good.  Who would follow Seinfeld up with crap?  ::cough:: Jason Alexander ::cough::

4. Sweeney Todd

For a nice change of pace, Tim Burton has cast Johnny Depp in a movie.  And this time, there are songs.  And murder.  And a barber shop.  I'm game. (Sorry, no trailer, friends...)

3. Juno

This is one of the best trailers I have ever seen, and based solely on that, this flick should be at the top of my list.  However, it's not directed by a Coen or an Anderson so it will remain at number three for now.  The last time we combined Jason Bateman and Michael Cera, we got Arrested Development.  Let's see what we get this time. 

2. No Country for Old Men

The Coens haven't made a really good movie in almost a decade, with O Brother, Where Art Thou?  I've sat through three since, but have been really waiting for THIS.  I daresay their glory days are not yet over.  (PS-The trailer I'm linking to is very bloody.  Be prepared.)

1. The Darjeeling Limited

A wise man once said that Wes Anderson is America's greatest storyteller.  I have yet to see this proven wrong.  Half of his movies make my shortlist of favorite films, and his last outing (The Life Aquatic) was fantastic.  Go see this movie, and we'll give Owen Wilson a reason to live again.

Usually I come to you, spouting on about great pop injustices that have befallen myself or others in recent times. But today, on this most blessed of Tuesdays, I need to share the tale of something wonderful that has occurred in the realm of entertainment. This past Sunday at the Emmys, 30 Rock took home the top prize for Best Comedy Series! I am overjoyed!

Now, this shouldn't have happened.

Its competition was stiff: critical favorite Ugly Betty was poised to take the award, with The Office as another (but less likely possibility). Don't get me wrong, The Office of course had a wonderful year in its third season: memorable and funny and everything else you could want. But who would have expected an extremely ratings-challenged freshman comedy that many people have never even heard of like 30 Rock to come out on top?

Well, to be honest: ME. Much like Arrested Development before it, 30 Rock has shown more promise in its first season that should be humanly possible. Even The Office had a rough first season. But 30 Rock, in its premiere year, gave me more consistent and hysterically clever moments than any other. And also like Arrested Development before it, there is a good chance that this beauty will not last.

Luckily for you, every episode is available online and free for you to view. Check them out here.

The show is amazing, self-referential satire. The characters, both central and background, compliment each other wonderfully. And in the end, you get this mass deliciousness that is surprisingly more incredible than its individual parts.

Watch this effing show.  Starting in two weeks, Thursdays at 9:30.

You know I'm always right, so why not just jump on the train early with me?

You won't regret it.

Good luck tonight at the VMAs, Justice!

Even though I discovered you months ago, still nobody has heard of you, despite your "Best Music Video" nomination.

Everyone else, don't be ignorant.  Click the picture above for the coolest music video in years.  Really.  Do it.
