This is the first year-end Top Ten List I ever published, and though I disagree with some of the rankings today - "No Country for Old Men" was the film of 2007 in retrospect - I was younger and different films spoke to me back then.  So it is presented here in all its unedited glory.

In the summer of 2007, I ran a special feature column where – due to the large number of sequels released that year – I revisited the original films from many ongoing franchises.

This article was written for the series, but never published.  So this article is quite the rarity – in the past five years, I’m the only person to have read it, and am only sharing it with the world for the first time now! And for the record - I can't stress this enough - I completely disagree with the content of this old review.  I love "Goblet of Fire."  Opinions change, and mine have.  I especially apologize to Emma Watson for my critical comments about her acting - she's brilliant, and I was probably just doing that petulant, vindictive thing young boys do when they have a crush on a beautiful girl.

“Well, the summer movie season has arrived … many, including myself, have dubbed this as the summer of sequels, because there are lots and lots of sequels coming out. To name a few, there's “Shrek the Third,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End,” “Ocean's Thirteen,” “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” “Live Free or Die Hard,” “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Rush Hour 3,” and many more. I'm personally on the edge of my seat waiting for all these sequels, and excited to start reviewing them. And once I get excited about reviewing stuff, it's hard to stop. So, until the sequels to these franchises come out, I'll be revisiting their predecessors with brand new reviews to bring everybody up to speed!”
