movie list.
Top 10 Movies of 2004:
Note: I would only allow myself to include one of the following: Garden State, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Napolian Dynamite. Mostly to make room for other deserving films. Also, so my list would not be confused for that of a 13 year-old girls.
1. Shaun of the Dead
If you did not enjoy this film it must be that you are not a big enough dork to get all the references. But you prolly have plans most Saturday nights...
2. The Brown Bunny
Vincent Gallo. Genius.
3. Sideways
I knew Alexander Payne was worth keeping an eye on after Election. He delivered with this one.
4. Riding Giants
Who knew a documentary about surfing could be so entertaining? Anyone who has seen Endless Summer for one.
5. Gozu
Takashi Miike's second best film that prominently features a woman lactating.
6. Kill Bill Vol. 2
Was hurt by the lack of Gogo Yubari.
7. Word Wars
The drama, the suspense of............competitive scrabble
8. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Did everyone hear about The Fantastic Mr. Fox?
9. Jeux d'enfants (Love Me If You Dare)
Just add this to your Netflix queue.
10. Garden State
I guess I am the only one who finds the soundtrack annoying. Three cheers for the commodification of my culture.
Honorable Mentions: Saw, I <3 Huckabee, The Machinist, Chainsaw Sally, Saved!
Top 5 Dvd Releases:
1. Dawn of the Dead(1978) Ultimate Edition
Three cuts of the film, three commentaries, two feature-length documentaries, one wet dream.
2. Thriller: A Cruel Picture (They Call Her One-Eye)
