I'm surprised so few of you put Walk the Line on your lists (if any). I loved that film. The acting alone made it great.

And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

Well, yearly rankings and reviews are nice, but when put to the task of cutting the mustard in naming the best and most impressive motion pictures of the year...as much as I enjoyed BATMAN BEGINS as a movie buff and long-time BATMAN fan, I still was shocked with SIN CITY. Besides affording Mickey Rourke a career-comeback in Hollywood in grand style(and ALMOST stealing the movie before the other stories had a chance), it actually gave Clive Owen an almost Movie Star-making opportunity...no wonder many wanted him to play the new James Bond. Three stories that range from vigialnte pulp justice, blood and brawn, to pure bullets and adventure, to a drama of sorts.
Not to mention that Robert Rodriguez, while seeming like a nice guy and impressive that he's Director/Writer/Producer/Composer/Editor/Cinematographer/Visual Effects Supervisor....all his movies had been meh or nothing extraordinary. One can blame his not-exactly exciting writing, or other reasons. Instead, with Miller's writings and storyboards virtually done already, he finally makes a GOOD movie. Lets hope this isn't simply a fluke for him.
Speaking of which, saw the trailer for Spike Lee's THE INSIDE MAN with Owen and Denzel Washington. Looks potentially nice.

Saw one of the most evocative, resonating masterpieces of the decade today. Malick's The New World is a beautiful film, contrasting two cultures (to which the title refers is deliberately unclear), and explores love, loss, memory and hope. In many ways it reminded me of The Magus, but there is a primitive, natural simpleness to this work which left me astonished. A phenomenal film which I cannot wait to see again, and think I will see it at the pics again, if I can.
See it, folks!
