Vote for the Best Movie of 2007!

A quick recap of 2007 shows that Hollywood inundated us with a variety of sequels (so many that movie critics dubbed it the “year of the threequels”); including Spider-Man 3, Rush Hour 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Shrek 3, Ocean’s Thirteen, The Bourne Ultimatum, Rush Hour 3 and Resident Evil: Extinction. In fact, it’s one of these “threequels” that is currently leading the contest:

Spiderman

Yes, Peter Parker and the Spiderman saga is currently winning by a small margin over Transformers and 300.  Want your voice heard? Don’t like the results? Click here and start voting today!

Scroll down and you will see Jack Sparrow performing the Irish Folk Song, Whisky in a Jar (clap clap clap).  Contrary to the belief that pirates have horrible, wretched voices; Jack performs this song quite eloquently!

While these contests are fun to look at, the more important question to ask is “Who will be the next President of the United States”.  The ballots have been submitted and the early results are in. Hillary Clinton is leading this contest by a small margin of votes over Rudy Giuliani.  Below is a list of all the 2008 candidates and where they currently rank in this contest.

1. Hillary Clinton 2. Rudy Giuliani 3. Barack Obama
4. John Edwards 5. John McCain 6. Mitt Romney
7. Fred Thompson 8. Joe Biden 9. Mike Huckabee
10. Bill Richardson 11. Chuck Hagel 12. Ron Paul
13. Dennis Kucinich 14. Christopher Dodd 15. Mike Gravel
16. Tom Tancredo 17. Tom Coburn 18. Sam Brownback

Please visit the contest, vote, and let your voice be heard!

In 2007, Charlize Theron took the title.  We here at Bix decided to run our own contest to see who in fact the winner should really be.  We also added some healthy competition to the mix…Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Eva Mendez and Eva Longoria to name a few. Well, the Bix community has stepped up to the plate and the preliminary results are in.  Drum roll please…as it stands now, Jessica Alba has a healthy lead in front of this years winner, Charlize. In fact, over 13,000 people have picked Jessica over Charlize in a head to head face off!
