2007 in Film

It's Oscar time and I have a feeling that the fans of Japanese Jesus are interested in the ten best movies from last year. Here it is in no particular order with comments:

No Country For Old Men (best of the year)
There Will Be Blood (second best of the year)
3:10 to Yuma (surprisisngly excelelnt)
Eastern Promises (Cronenberg's best ever)
Michael Clayton (worst movie title of the year)
Superbad (Michael Cera might be the best ever at playing awkward teens)
Juno (Michael Cera again, and Ellen Page was great)
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead (Lumet surprises with first excellent film in 25 years)
I'm Not There (Gere was unnecesary, Blanchett was brilliant)

Everyone is welcome to view the Oscars at Japanese Jesus headquarters if you can find it.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, loyal readers.

Some people might say that February 22 is a little late for the first post of the year, but those people don't know what this blog is all about.

A Dindastic End of Year List

It's that time of year when everyone and their mother posts or publishes various "Best Of" lists from the past year. (We may even have our own "Best Of" list sometime soon.) However, there is a much more select group of "Best Of" lists: lists that get emailed to us. So without any further bloggy blather (or blother), we present a Dindastic Top Twenty Albums of 2007 List. Except for a few choices, its pretty hipsteriffic.

Most Inspirational Blog Ever?

This blog has existed for only a short time, but already we have inspired at least one long-dormant blogger to return to the active blogging life.

I am just beginning to grasp the awesome power of this blog and the responsibility that comes with it.

Worst Blog Ever?

I apparently stink at this.

Slow Blogging

I sure hope the blogging ain't this slow every day.
