I was just asked what I thought the best movie and album of 2007 were. Well, here's my answer.


Best Movie of 2007 - Grindhouse Presents - Planet Terror
This one is a no brainer. Does it get any better than this? - Zombies, senseless violence, and a hot go-go dancer with a gun for a leg! There were times watching this movie that I just started laughing out loud because it's just so damn messed up. It's as if Robert Rodriguez had a huge checklist of awesomely sick or violent things he wanted to do and just randomly threw them into the movie where ever he see fit - and it worked beautifully. The acting is fantastically stylized to the point where it's almost corny, but honestly, that's the charm of this kind of movie. Rose McGowan is stellar and somehow remained super sexy even while limping around on a peg leg. This is my absolute top pick for 2007. Death Proof was also an honorable mention under the Grindhouse name, but honestly, the cast was MUCH weaker and the hour worth of chick banter made me want to shoot myself...better yet, have Rose McGowan shoot me with her gun-leg.


Best Album of 2007 - The Black and White Album - The Hives
This was a tough pick because there were some really amazing albums that were released this year. Between Radiohead, The Shins, and Nine Inch Nails the competition was tough as hell. For some reason this album never got as much of the mainstream spotlight as the competition, probably because of how brash it is. The Swedes of The Hives have once again put together a power packed TRUE rock and roll album for the ages, and although it may not be an album that goes down in history, it's because the people writing the books are pussies with sensitive hearing. This album is so charged up you can't help but start jamming out to it. Do yourself a favor and pick up this album. I promise you won't regret it.

FredFredrickson @ 01/24/08 "I liked the hives album, but I would've reserved the "best of" slot for something that had some musical significance. Although this year was jack for movies that rocked, I'd have gone with something that really got me laughing like superbad." SpIkE @ 01/25/08 "You realize this is all subjective" FredFredrickson @ 01/25/08 "Yes, but instead of making my own best of 2007 post, I thought I'd just hijack yours." SpIkE @ 01/25/08 "What would you say best album of 2007 was?" FredFredrickson @ 01/25/08 "Gawd it's difficult. I go through music like it's popcorn. Maybe Wax on Radio's latest? " FredFredrickson @ 01/25/08 "wait no.. modest mouse's" FredFredrickson @ 01/25/08 "see no I can't decide. don't do this to me" SpIkE @ 01/25/08 "yeah, wax on radio really got me...i think i got mose excited by the hives though."
