The list of movies I wanted to see in theaters last year but never got around to is as long as a night with teething six-month old with an ear infection (trust me on the anology).
Anyone have thoughts on which of these should be at the top of the queue?
I'm Not There (the Dylan flick)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (the French one about the guy who blinks a book) (Phenomenal. Will get its own post sometime.)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Casey Affleck's Oscar turn)
Eastern Promises (Russian Mob)
4 Months, 3 Weeks & Two Days (abortion in Cold War Romania - I think it's a comedy)
For Your Consideration (Chris Guest's new one) (Good, not great.)
Into the Wild (something about a guy in Alakska, right?) (I liked this one. Might wright a post on it.)
The Savages (P.S. Hoffman's 15th film of the year)
Lars and the Real Girl (the charming sex doll movie) (Superb. This one definitely deserves its own post.)
Persepolis (an Iranian cartoon - the graphic novel is superb) (Saw it.)
Talk To Me (Don Cheadle as a DJ) (Not bad. Nothing special, though.)
Any thing else I missed?
"Into the Wild" was excellent.
ReplyDeleteI have spoken.
you don't want to see Kite Runner because it took place in Afghanistan? what kind of reason is that? it was a good movie (although not as good as the book).
