28 Days Later (2003, R)
This is no ordinary horror film. It is a combination of thick drama, science fiction and slasher horror. When put all together you get the ultimate horror film. As Access Hollywood says, "This is the most frightening film since The Exorcist". They couldn't be more right. What is more scary than a bunch of zombified people on a permanent murderous rage? Probably nothing. The direction was great. Maybe that's because Danny Boyle directed. Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris were amazing and Brendan Gleeson and Megan Burns were great supporting performers. This movie in general was great and had a very impressive screenplay. If you're not for the slasher/gory types of horror, this probably won't be your cup of tea. Although if you do like a good scare, then I highly recommend this. |

Babel (2006, R)
Very similar to [i]Crash[/i], yet totally unique. This is one of the best films of the year and one of the most emotional films ever made. Alejandro González Iñarritu takes four different stories from four different locations around the world, which are uncannily similar in many ways, and shows how they are interconnected. He incorporates all the stories into one delicately, yet with power that will rip your heart out and let you feel it. It's almost painful to watch these characters go through what they do in this film over little things like misunderstandings with identity and communication. Iñarritu shows how even the little things like these can steer our lives into disastrous directions which in the end affects the world and mankind. The actors in this film are incredible, especially Brad Pitt in his supporting role. He should definitely receive and Oscar nomination. This film should also receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay. In the end, this film is more memorable to me than [i]Crash[/i] with its messages and morals. This is an important film, probably the most important film of the year. This has earned a spot on my all-time favourite films list. It's mesmerizing, beautiful and portrays such a strong message. I highly recommend this to everyone. |

This is, without a doubt, Kevin Smith's greatest accomplishment. This should never be compared to his other films because this one is far superior. Unlike [i]Clerks.[/i] or [i]Mallrats[/i], this actually has some poignancy and warmth. I'm not saying Smith's other films are bad, I love them actually, but they aren't good films like [i]Chasing Amy[/i] is. |

The Constant Gardener (2005, R)
Definitely one of the best movies of 2005. Why this wasn't nominated for Best Picture is beyond me. Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz are both amazing in their roles and Fernando Meirelles proved himself once again to me that he is one of the best directors of today. His previous film, "City of God" made me ecstatic knowing that a movie this powerful would ever make me so thankful for having eyes to view such a masterpiece. He is a cinematic genious. John Le Carre's novel must have been astounding for such a solid screenplay to come from it. The cinematography and original score are also fantastic. This movie is beautiful and should be taken more seriously by viewers. It has such low ratings for an average day masterpiece. Watch this. It's amazing. |

C.R.A.Z.Y. (Crazy) (2005, Unrated)
I just discovered this movie today. It was on sale at the local video store and I said to myself... "why don't you give the good old Canadian movies a chance? They're probably good." So I did and it turned out to be one of the best film experiences I have ever had. This movie is one of a kind.. a masterpiece! Nothing like I have ever seen before. Not many people have heard of this movie because it's Canadian, but it should be known worldwide. It's one of the best movies I have ever seen and I am proud that it is made by a fellow Canadian. Jean-Marc Vallée has definitely earned my respect. Making a movie like this is hard and he pulled it off. This movie took home thousands of awards here in Canada [10 Genie Awards and 12 Jutra Awards] which it rightfully deserved. I am still simply amazed at this movie's perfection. I will recommend this movie everywhere I go now and it is one of my new favourites. I love this movie. See it... see it again, and love it like it should be loved. It's amazing. |

Dancer in the Dark (2000, R)
When I first heard of this movie, it was in 2001 upon its DVD release. I was sketchy about watching it for two reasons. I was only 11 years old and I wouldn't have appreciated it to its full extent and it seemed to be boring. Now, 5 years later, I have gathered my negative opinions about this film and Björk and thrown them away. I watched this with an open mind and was utterly shocked at how visually stunning and brilliant this movie was. It's the 2nd best film of 2000. It's very underrated and should not even be compared to other films that year like Gladiator and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This film surpasses most films in its genre. The performance by Björk is not only Oscar-worthy, but is probably one of the most in-character performances I have ever seen. She was absolutely phenomenal. Catherine Deneuve has always been one of my favourite foreign actresses and her supporting role made the film that much better. Director Lars von Trier always knows how to make a movie. Ever since I saw Dogville, I have been watching his movies and loving them. I will remember this movie as one of the best ever. I am disappointed in myself for not watching this until now and I suggest this film to everyone and anyone. One hundred percent masterpiece. |

The Devil Wears Prada (2006, PG-13)
This was the most enjoyable movie I have seen this year. First of all, let me exclaim my love for Meryl Streep. She is a goddess. Acting is so effortless for her... her performances are flawless and she is still sexy as hell. Yes. I said it. She is. People say she is the highlight of the film (which I can't deny), but there are also two other amazing performances. Emily Blunt (who I have never seen before) gave a terrific supporting performance as Miranda's 1st Gucci-wearing assistant. She is terrific. Stanley Tucci, well now, he is just hilarious. He always gives great performances and he is such a strong character actor. Bravo to all three of you. Anne Hathaway is still learning the principles of acting and with working with a legend like Meryl Streep she will become one successful actress. I do like her, but she always has her faults. She is so beautiful and always plays frumpy girls.. I wish she would take on stronger roles and become one of film's strongest leading ladies. This movie has a great story (adapted from the novel by Lauren Weisberger) and I would love to see it nominated for an Oscar or two (I doubt it, but that would be very nice). I highly recommend this movie, not only to women, because guys will like it, too. It's not a "chick flick". I hate that term. Go and see it. It's great. The best movie of the year so far. |

In what was Stanley Kubrick's last film, his best work shone through. This is nothing like Dr. Strangelove or The Shining. This isn't like 2001: A Space Odyssey or Barry Lyndon. It's better. When you finish watching this film, you cannot come to a sudden conclusion like "I loved it" or "I hated it". You have to interpret everything and understand the picture before you judge it. It was the most strangely beautiful movie I have ever seen. A shocking masterpiece from the mastermind himself: Stanley Kubrick. What a way to go out, Mr. Kubrick... with a masterpiece. The way you interpret the film can ruin it for you or make it for you. Dissect each scene and understand how things link together. For example, understand that this movie cannot be taken seriously all of the time. The whole 'masked ball' scene could possibly be a figment of Bill's imagination... or maybe we just saw it differently that he did. After all, Kubrick wants to leave the audiences with something to discuss after the film. There are many loose ends which I personally like in a film. Cruise and Kidman were fantastic in this movie. Kubrick's finest work which was unfortunately not acknowledged like his others. It was misunderstood by the public which lead to its downfall and negative reviews from the critics. What the hell do they know anyways? Simply an amazing movie. One of the best and most underrated pieces of art out there. |

One of the most interestingly eye-opening films of the 90s. With director Peter Weir, I always know I am in for a different kind of film; one that has more poignant issues and other existential themes incorporated into it. With Fearless, Weir shows us the upsides and downsides of what it's like to survive a traumatic event like an airplane crash. |

Brilliant... just brilliant! Darren Aronofsky is a genius and this is in the same league as his previous masterpiece Requiem for a Dream. With so many people disliking this film and many people I know telling me to avoid it, I was hesitant to see this. However, after I watched it for the first time I was amazed. Not only amazed at the mindblowing film experience I had just had, but amazed at why so many people hated this film. |

I'm in the mood for praising this movie so I will get right at it. This isn't like a Martin Scorsese film at all and that's why I loved it so much. The subject of the film was similar to that of Goodfellas or Casino, but the characters and character development was something totally new. The three writers that worked on this film have brought something new for Scorsese to work with and I think that it turned out beautifully. Martin Scorsese is one of my all-time favourite directors and it's really surprising and pleasing to see him do something different. |

Gloria (1980, PG)
I'll start by saying that this is by no means a masterpiece. It's very flawed with quite large plotholes and very visible mistakes. But don't let this turn you off of this film because it really is one of the most entertaining films of the 80s. John Cassavetes always makes good movies and with this he doesn't disappoint. His unique style of filmmaking is what makes him so extraordinary, but with this movie I felt that he hollywoodized it a little bit more than it should have been. |

Umm. Wow. This is a shocker. I would have never thought that a movie with John Cusack and Anjelica Huston could be this well acted. I like them both, but wow. Anyways, Stephen Frears is a great director and he brought his own special touch to this movie. Annette Bening had an awesome supporting role which earned her an Oscar nomination. Anjelica Huston also received one. This was a great con-artist movie and there is a slight twist ending. I recommend this to anyone who likes suspense-filled endings. There is one shot, too, at the end of the film of Anjelica Huston in an elevator, which has to be one of my favourite and best photographed scenes ever. Well done. |

Harold and Maude (1971, PG)
This film has become one of the all-time great cult classics. It's hilarious, yet dark, plot and great characters make this film truly terrific. Bud Cort's character, Harold, is a 20-year-old "man" who is obsessed with death and often finds himself spending his free time pulling off phony suicide attempts and hanging around at funerals. Luckily for him, at one of these funerals he meets Maude (Gordon). When he gets to know this 79-year-old woman who has an appetite for life they become close friends. It is an odd relationship, but it works because Maude is the only person Harold can relate to in the world and even though there is a large age difference, this relationship grows on screen and is fun to watch; refreshing. Ruth Gordon gives a stunning performance and shows how funny she can really be. The scene where she gets pulled over while transporting a tree to the forest is the funniest. The idea of a young man craving attention (since he is not getting it from his mother) and then meeting a woman who gets all the attention for being so outgoing and eccentric fullfils his dreams of having a solid parent figure in his life, although his idea of a parent is somewhat altered. That's why Maude becomes more than a friend to him and the relationship becomes quite close. It's a magical story and this movie is one of my favourites. |

This film was highlighted by the sensational performance from the one and only Glenn Close. She is once again terrific and makes this movie. This may seem like a story that is told over and over again, but don't let this turn you away from this film. There's something quite original about this movie that I have never seen before. The cinematography was great and the story was also great. Elizabeth Banks provides a new, fresh talent which I look forward to seeing in many more movies to come. A great film... it draws you in, it's pretty much mesmerizing. I recommend this to everyone. |

Little Miss Sunshine (2006, R)
There has never been a better acted, better cast movie all year. I'd even go as far as to say in a decade there hasn't been a better acted film by an ensemble cast. This is one of those films you go to see and you don't quite know what to expect. You know it isn't going to be an all-out action fest. You know it isn't going to be a gore-filled thriller, this movie is something very special. It's outrageously funny and heartwarming at the same time. The characters are amazing and the chemistry between them is great. Also, Michael Arndt has written one of the best screenplays ever. Carell and Arkin bith give memorable performances as does newcomer Abigail Breslin. The movie is simply about Olive (Breslin), a 7-year-old beauty pageant hopeful who is accepted into "Little Miss Sunshine", a pageant in California. Her family gathers their things and heads out for a trip (which is full of twists and turns, both good and bad.. but mostly bad) in their VW bus to Redondo Beach to have Olive compete for the title "Little Miss Sunshine". The best film of 2006 so far and one of my new personal favourites. I smell Oscar for this incredible film. |

Ordinary People (1980, R)
This is the best movie of 1980. I loved this film and it rightfully won its Oscar for Best Picture. So many times it has been argued that Raging Bull was a better film and should have taken the honour that year, but after viewing this masterpiece I can't go along with that anymore. This movie has one of the most perfect taglines ever: "Some films you watch... others you feel". It's so sad and depressing, yet uplifting at the same time. You are drawn into the lives of these characters and you feel for them as they go through this hard time. Calvin and Beth Jarrett (Sutherland and Moore) just lost their eldest son, Buck, in a boating accident. Their youngest son, Conrad (Hutton), blames himself for his brother's death and after an attempt of trying to kill himself, he was put into a hospital. When he returns, his father supports him all the way and tries to give him all the help he can. His mother, on the other hand, acts as if she hates him and doesn't treat him with anything close to the love she gave Buck. The family has crumbled and this is the story of the re-birth of relationships and love. Two outstanding performances in this film come from Timothy Hutton (who won an Oscar for his role) and Mary Tyler Moore (who was nominated). It's such a sad movie, a tearjerker, even, so I warn you, be prepared to feel this movie as if it was happening to you. |

El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006, R)
This is a wonderfully magical film. It takes you away from the theater and makes you feel as if you are in the movie. That's what I love about this film. Guillermo Del Toro is one of the most imaginative directors out there. He can be compared to the likes of Hayao Miyazaki when it comes to his imagination. |

This is the most underrated film of the past decade. It's brilliant. Gary Ross is slowly becoming on of my favourite writers. With such great films like [i]Big[/i], [i]Dave[/i], this and [i]Seabiscuit[/i] he should be receiving a lot of attention. |

The Poseidon Adventure (1972, PG)
This is the best disaster movie of all time. Nevermind the overrated Titanic, watch this classic. I just purchased the Special Edition which was released May 9th, and is it ever amazing. The special feature list is so long and there are over 9 full-length featurettes. This movie is one of the best, if not the best, movies of 1972. Gene Hackman should have been nominated for an Oscar for his stellar performance and Shelley Winters should have won an Oscar for hers, too. The all-star cast was simply perfect and the visual effects for that decade were out of this world. They still are pretty impressive. The only Oscar this film earned was for Best Original Song ("The Morning After"). It was a well deserved award, although this film deserved way more. It is still entertaining and will never die. It has spawned many sequels/remakes and they never even compare to this. Terrific, terrific, terrific. That's all I can say. |

The Prestige (2006, PG-13)
This is one of the greatest mysteries on film I have ever seen. Easily one of the best films of the year. I would love to say it IS the best of the year, but Little Miss Sunshine still tops my list. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale give terrific performances as does Caine and Bowie. Christopher Nolan's brilliance shines through with another masterpiece. He is a genious and this movie falls in line with his previous achievements (Memento, Batman Begins). The story is impeccable and the twists are some of the best I have ever seen. I have a feeling this film is going to be overlooked at the Oscars and won't get the recognition it deserves. A Best Director nomination is in order for the outstanding Christopher Nolan and a Best Adapted Screenplay nod, also. Watch this movie not only for the amazing stars in it, but for the amazing screenplay and direction. The magic "tricks" are also something to get excited over. 'The Transported Man' is a great trick and it got me to say "wow" everytime they performed it. A terrific film. Once again I say, one of the best of 2006. |

The Producers (2005, PG-13)
Although Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder pulled off an excellent original, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick just seem to make me like The Producers that much more. The comedy is perfect and the cast is (of course) absolutely phenomenal. Nathan Lane (who was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance) was absolutely hilarious. Matthew Broderick was funny, too. Uma Thurman, Will Ferrell, Roger Bart were all good supporting performers, but the best role in the film goes to Gary Beach's character. The film's musical pieces were absolutely amazing and better than ever and the art direction was great, too. This stands up to the original version and any other version it can be compared to. This film was terrific and should be watched by any musical follower. Congratulations Mel Brooks on a very clever story! |

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001, R)
One of the most exquisitely written films I've ever seen. Wes Anderson is misunderstood as a director, I think. His contruction and technique is quite obviously zealous, but this isn't appreciated by many people who see his films. His first feature, Bottle Rocket, isn't just that little indie comedy that stars the Wilson brothers, it's a film that deals with the seen and unseen troubles in these characters' lives. His films have improved over the years as well. Rushmore was a terrific achievement for him and proved his talents as an actors director. The characters in his films are some of the funniest characters who suffer heartbreak, depression and other trials, yet are still entertaining to watch for the subtle and dark humour. |

Secrets & Lies (1996, R)
This is the best movie of 1996. Not my favourite, but the best. Fargo will always hold the title of my favourite movie from 1996. This movie was a masterpiece. It was made by Mike Leigh, one of the greatest dramatic directors of today. This film is so incredible in many ways. The story is ingenious; after her parents die, a young black woman (Jean-Baptiste) seeks out her natural birth mother only to discover her mother is white. Equally shocked to learn her daughter is black, Cynthia (Blethyn) insists it's a mistake. But she soon realizes it's true and when she springs her newfound daughter on the rest of the family, the resulting chaos leads to a series of secrets and lies being revealed at last. A true Best Picture contender if I ever saw one. I wish this would have won Best Picture because movies like these need more appreciation, I think. Brenda Blethyn gives one of the best performances in years. It's too bad for her she was competing against the amazing Frances McDormand that year. Marianne Jean-Baptiste is also incredible. They both garnered Oscar nominations in 1996. This isn't a movie to be missed... if you haven't seen this, add it to your "too see" list and watch it as soon as possible. A true masterpiece. |

Sideways (2004, R)
Sideways can be easily considered the best movie of the year. If it wasn't for Million Dollar Baby, this film should have easily grabbed Best Picture. Paul Giamatti was robbed of an Oscar nomination and that will forever go down in Oscar history as one of the worst snubs. Thomas Haden Church and Virginia Madsen both received nominations, as they should have, and Alexander Payne was nominated for Best Director. This film won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar (won by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor) and finally broke the barriers for Comedies to go beyond stereotypes and win Oscars now. This film is incredible. The dramatic atmosphere, yet subtle comedy makes it so enjoyable. It is a touching movie that everyone should see. It's not boring, it's creative and artistic. I love it. Quite simply the best of 2004. |

Solo Con Tu Pareja (1991, Unrated)
Alfonso Cuarón's debut film Sólo con tu pareja is one of the best Mexican made films of the early 90s. This isn't really saying much, I guess, since Mexico didn't make that many films in the early 90s compared to bigger film producing countries. Nevertheless, this is an impressive debut from Alfonso Cuarón, the man who went on to make some of my all-time favourite films (Y tu mamá también and Children of Men). |

Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) (2001, PG)
This film is flawless in every aspect. The animation is absolutely PERFECT. I hesitate usually when I want to call things perfect because they usually aren't, but here, "perfect" is the only word that suffices. Hayao Miyazaki is one of my heroes. He blends together his imagination with the most vivid and colourful animation you have ever seen and comes out with masterpieces. This film won an Oscar (2002) for Best Animated Feature Film and beat out four other films which were all American (Treasure Planet, Ice Age, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and Lilo & Stitch). I am not saying Japanese animation is better than American animation (look at all the works of art Pixar has come out with), I just think that Hayao Miyazaki is a genius and in my books he is the father of animation and imagination. This movie is one of my favourites. People can criticize all they want saying how can an animated film be one of your favourite movies of all time, but if you've seen it, I am sure you can understand. Watch it. It's absolutely perfect. |

The Squid and the Whale (2005, R)
One of the best movies of 2005. Very underrated and not known by most people. Should have won the Original Screenplay award at the Oscars, too. Noah Baumbach created an amazing film, here. Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney should also have been nominated for Oscars. This movie just blows me away... it's just amazing! |

The one problem I had with this movie is... the sepia toned still images in the middle of the film. It ruined 1/4 of the movie. Terrible decision to put them in. Judy Garland was fantastic, though. One of the best performances ever. James Mason was great, too. What more can I say. One of the best films of the 50s and the best film of 1954. |

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991, R)
This is one sequel that completely demolishes the original in almost every aspect. I only liked the original and I wasn't really excited to see this one, but when I watched it in my film class I was so surprised. This one is so amazing. The story is great and the effects are so much better. I guess becasue the original had a budget of $6.5 million and this one had a budget of $100 million... that can really make or break an action movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger is so great as the Terminator. He was made to play this role. Linda Hamilton is awesome, too. She really got in shape for this movie, I was impressed. Furlong was good, but this and American History X are the only 2 movies I really remember him from. Can't say he made a good career for himself. Robert Patrick is an awesome villain; probably one of the best and most remembered to this day. The whole conversion from 'bad' to 'good' by Arnold is great and the way James Cameron directs this movie is stunning, also. I have never been a huge fan of the sci-fi / action blockbusters, but this movie has a lot of meaning and cultural tone to it and I really, really liked it. This has to be one of the most entertaining and one of the best movies I have seen. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Not a movie to be missed! |

Thelma & Louise (1991, R)
This is one of the most talked about movies of the 90s. It shouldn't be popular for it's action/sex scenes, but for its groundbreaking screenplay that took two women and placed them in male roles. The stereotypical housewife would not rob a bank or kill people. These two women have been placed in the roles of males which was something new to cinema. No longer were women portrayed as housewives or vulnerable sex slaves after this film came out because women understood that they have to be strong independent individuals. Although these women look happy and stable, under their core they are hurt. Hurt by the disrespectful men in the film and have had enough of it. Even though they are fleeing after murdering a man, they are still strong women and all they want is their freedom back and a chance to live a life where no one, especially a man, can tell them how to live. Another reason this film was groundbreaking was because the director was a man. Ridley Scott, the director of such films like [i]Alien[/i] and [i]Gladiator[/i]. Such a masculine man came along and made a film about two female buddies who go on an anti-male adventure to escape their decrepit lives. Sarandon and Davis are perfect in this film and both are deserving of their Best Actress nominations. Perfect acting and a perfect screenplay are two major components that lead to this perfect film. |

The Truman Show (1998, PG)
This is a perfect movie. The screenplay is one of the best I have ever seen. Andrew Niccol is a genius and can compare to the likes of Charlie Kauffman with this. He hasn't done many other memorable works (Gattaca, S1m0ne, Lord of War), but this picture proved he has an imagination like no other. Peter Weir is a fantastic director and Jim Carrey.. well what can we say about him? He is absolutely and positively perfect for this role. His performance was left out when it came to the Oscars in 1998, but that's okay because he did win the Golden Globe that year. Ed Harris was fantastic and Laura Linney was great, also. Linney captured her character which was probably hard to do. She plays an woman who is an actress who is acting in the real life of Truman Burbank where she acts as if she is living her real life, although it's only a performance. She did a great job. This movie is probably one of the best of the decade and was not recognized like it should have been. It's the second best movie of 1998 and one of my favourites of all-time. Instantly classic screenplay. I will never forget this film. |

United 93 (2006, R)
This is by far the best film of 2006. It is not my favourite, but it is the best. Brilliantly directed and written by Paul Greengrass, this movie will bring back haunting memories from the 11th of September, 2001. This film was absolutely frightening; imagine being on that plane which is being hijacked by four men. [i]United 93[/i] tells the story of the fourth hijacked plane on September 11th, 2001 that didn't reach its destination. The other three planes hit their targets, but with the courage of many passengers on United Flight 93 they managed to stop the hijackers and foil their plans to crash this plane into the White House. The plane crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania and there were no survivors. This is by far the saddest movie I have ever sat through. At moments I almost had to pause it so I could catch my breath because it was so emotionally powerful. I am not afraid to admit that I cried during this film. It was so terribly sad, especially when the passengers were calling their families and telling them they love them and saying goodbye. Paul Greengrass should receive an Oscar nomination for Best Director. It's hard to sit through, but in the end you will be glad you saw this. God bless all of those passengers on United Flight 93, you are true heroes, and all the other people who died on September 11th, 2001. |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007, R)
Nevermind Hairspray, Enchanted or Across the Universe, Sweeney Todd is the best musical of the year. This is a Gothic masterpiece from director Tim Burton that was revived from Stephen Sondheim's 1979 stage production. This film is probably the best stage-to-screen adaptation since Chicago and is one of the truest musicals I've ever seen. It's not afraid to be a musical with probably less than 30 minutes of actual speaking dialogue and that's something risky in modern cinema. Burton had trouble finding a studio to produce this film because of the fact that none of the musical numbers had upbeat pop songs (and I'm sure the excessive violence didn't help much either). What can you expect when the film is a revival of a Sondheim musical? West Side Story still manages to do well with teenage audiences, so why can't this? Luckily, Paramount picked this project up and it's now being called one of the best films of the year. |

There Will Be Blood (2007, R)
There are no words that exist that can express my love for this film. Sheer brilliance from all fronts, especially Daniel Day-Lewis' performance, or rather personification, of Daniel Plainview and Paul Thomas Anderson's masterful direction. Easily the greatest film of the year and perhaps one of the greatest of the decade. This film is extremely relevant to today's time and issues and should be seen by everyone. It's very long runtime might turn people off, but I will make it my duty to recruit people to see this masterpiece. |

Into the Wild (2007, R)
This is one of the greatest cinematic experiences of the year. Directed by Sean Penn, this film makes every other film this year look weak and unimportant. Sean Penn, to me, has never been known as a director, but he has directed some great films in the past (The Crossing Guard, The Pledge, The Indian Runner), but none come even close to the greatness of Into the Wild. This is Penn's best film to date and I will always remember this film for a few reasons that I will explain throughout this review. |

I'm Not There (2007, R) |
|

Paris Je T'aime (2007, R)
This is the best film of the year so far. It's compiled of eighteen different short films that are all love stories of some kind set in Paris. All of them stand out in their own distinctive way, but there are a few that were just jaw-droppingly beautiful and well put together. |
|
| 298 |
Hable con Ella (Talk to Her) (2002, R)
I wouldn't think that Pedro Almodovár could outdo his previous masterpiece [i]Todo sobre mi madre[/i], but I was wrong. This movie is much better than his other films and the most original, also. Almodovár knows how to handle his female cast beautifully and works so well with the women's emotions. |

Hot Fuzz (2007, R)
This is probably one of the funniest films of the past few years. The humour is so dry, but the delivery of the lines are perfect. I have yet to see Shaun of the Dead, but I can tell that this filmmaker is really terrific. His films a basically mockeries of other classic films. Unlike Scary Movie, this film actually pulls off the whole spoof idea with still having an amazing screenplay. |
|
| 301 |
Away from Her (2007, PG-13)
Now this is a movie! After watching a summer full of movies that went from bad to worse, this quiet, little film makes withstanding those bad movies all worth while. I waited months and months for this movie to come out on DVD so I could actually watch a film this year. This film has been compared to [i]The Notebook[/i] and I can see where the comparison comes in, but this film was a lot better and more heartwrenching to me. This film is like a long poem; it pulls at your heartstrings and leaves such an impact on you for a long while after you've watched it. This is a film that you not only watch, but feel as well. |
