Jeez, I haven't seen a single one. (Hangs head in shame.)
Yay The Fall! I was so happy to see it on there! You are quite welome. I'm glad I got to see it a second time.
Okay, so the only one on your list that I've seen is Be Kind Rewind. I just watched it and LOVED it. I laughed, I cried, and I almost peed my pants when Jack Black put on an afro and I swore for a second it was you!
Kim - I've often been likened to a mixture of Jack Black and Will Ferrell.
Kaleen - You rule. Thanks so much for recommending The Fall. If I hadn't seen it that day who knows if I EVER would have seen it? If I had died without watching The Fall, I would have died sad.
Megan - You better step your game up!
And to all of you, what's your Top 7 of the year?
Be Kind Rewind was great, especially when they had the dead guy with the pizza under his head...
I rented My Blueberry Nights today!
In Bruges was definitely very good. Colin Farrell at his best, but unfortunately that isn't saying all that much. :)
Haha, this is great.
Of your want to sees, I'd go with #'s 1,2,4,5 and 6, in no particular order.
You're now the umpteenth person I've seen love on Shotgun Stories. Curses that I've missed it to date...
Daniel G, Shotgun Stories JUST came out on DVD on Tuesday. Throw it up to the top of the ol' Netflix queue and enjoy.
Annie Ha, welcome to He Shot Cyrus. I love that Boyz n the Hood scene so much.
Come back here and let me know what you thought of My Blueberry Nights.
Funny Games is totally worth watching again. My Blueberry Nights is unfortunately kind of shitty, and keep in mind I say this as somebody who has seen everything Wong Kar Wai has ever touched, or thought of touching. I'm basically in love with him. Paranoid Park is really good. Teeth is a lot less awesome than you'd think. Well, it was less awesome than I thought anyway. In Bruges, on the other hand, was much better than I expected.
And Doomsday was the closest I've come to walking out of a theater in a long time. It was AIDS in film form.
Hmmm... I'd put my list up, but I have a feeling it'd probably just end up being Tokyo Gore Police listed seven times, and that's no help to anybody!
The Visitor is DEFINITELY worth watching. It's up there with The Station Agent.
Keith, it's help to me, the guy who needs seven constant reminders to watch Tokyo Gore Police.
My Blueberry Nights was good enough. It was very Hong Kong Art House and would have been better if it was really a Hong Kong Art House movie. But good enough, man, good enough. Rachel Weiss is phenomenal as always, Natalie Portman is better than Norah Jones, but overall an aesthetically appealing piece...
I agree with many points. But in some areas, I feel we need to be more aggressive. Just my opinion. Love ya. jasmine bridal Louboutin Shoes Pigalle Christian Louboutin. Evening Dresses
