As always, thank you for your list. Much welcomed reading.
RaderaSince it's been a while since I saw most of the 2007 films, I must admit I've forgotten some performances. But when you mention Hoffman in Before the Devil..., Anamaria Marinca in 4 Months... and Kevin Costner in Mr. Brooks, they all should be mentioned in one way or another so I've added them to the list.
