The AFI Announces Their Top 10 of 2007

I know you all are just chomping at the bit to hear what my top ten of 2007 is (yeah right), but you are going to have to wait because I am finally seeing There Will be Blood and Charlie Wilson’s War next week (and probably Sweeney Todd again since the sound was shit the first time I saw it) and can finally make my assessment. However, the American Film Institute (AFI) has announced their ten favorite and besides Knocked Up finally getting a little love there really are no surprises here.
