Early peek at my Top 10 movies of 2007
After watching some of the selections again, I have come up with a list that I predict will hold until Dec. 28, when we publish the critics picks in the American Statesman. You may notice that the list has shifted in the past week or so. That’s because, on multiple viewings, some movies such as “Gone Baby Gone,” rose in my estimation. It happens.

“No Country for Old Men”
“Atonement”
“Gone Baby Gone”
“Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”
“There Will Be Blood”
“Knocked Up”
“Michael Clayton”
“The Savages”
“Sweeney Todd”
“The Nines”
Lots of runners-up this year: “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” “Juno,” “Into the Wild,” “Eastern Promises,” “3:10 to Yuma,” “The Kite Runner,” “Transformers,” “The Darjeeling Limited,” “Chalk,” “Manufacturing Dissent,” “Crazy Love,” “The Lookout,” “Away from Her,” “Charlie Wilson’s War,” “Lars and the Real Girl” and “The Kite Runner.” In fact, the crazy thing is: I saw more than 100 movies this year, and not one was a outright dog.
