Kirsten's Favourite Movies Of The Last Year (Re-Edited Again)
Not necessarily released this year, but I finally remembered to do this for my memory. That sentence made no sense.
Instead of repeating what I said about them, I put an imdb.com synopsis.
If I've forgotton any, let me know, cause I got bored of scraping the archive for which ones I loved.
I Heart Huckabees
"A husband-and-wife team play detective, but not in the traditional sense. Instead, the happy duo helps others solve their existential issues, the kind that keep you up at night, wondering what it all means."
Sideways
"Two men reaching middle age with not much to show but disappointment, embark on a week long road trip through California's wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the aisle."
Vozvrashcheniye (The Return)
"In the remote Russian wilderness, two brothers face a range of new, conflicting emotions when their father--a man they only know through a single photograph--resurfaces."
Dogville
"A woman on the run from the mob is reluctantly accepted in a small Colorado town. In exchange she agrees to work for them. As a search visits town, she finds her their support has a price. Yet her dangerous secret is never far away... "
House Of Sand And Fog
"An abandoned wife is evicted from her house and starts a tragic conflict with her home's new owners."
My Summer Of Love
"In the Yorkshire countryside, working-class tomboy Mona (Press) meets the exotic, pampered Tasmin (Blunt). Over the summer season, the two young women discover they have much to teach one another, and much to explore together."
Capturing The Friedmans
"Documentary on the Friedmans, a seemingly typical, upper-middleclass Jewish family whose world is instantly transformed when the father and his youngest son are arrested and charged with shocking and horrible crimes."
Ong Bak
"No stunt doubles, no computer images, no strings attached. When the head of a statue sacred to a village is stolen, a young martial artist goes to the big city and finds himself taking on the underworld to retrieve it."
DiG!
"A documentary on the once-promising American rock bands The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols, and the friendship/rivalry between their respective founders, Anton Newcombe and Courtney Taylor."
The Descent
"A caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators."
Frank Miller's 'Sin City'
"An adaptation of Frank Miller's stories based in the fictional town of Basin City. Chief amongst the town's residents is Marv, who trawls the darkest areas of town looking for the person who killed his one true love, Goldie."
Mysterious Skin
"A teenage hustler and a young man obsessed with alien abductions cross paths, together discovering a horrible, liberating truth."
Me And You And Everyone We Know
"A lonely shoe salesman and an eccentric performance artist struggle to connect in this unique take on contemporary life."
Joss Whedon's 'Serenity'
"Captain Malcom Reynolds finds himself running from a skilled Alliance operative who wants River Tam, and who will stop at nothing to get her; meanwhile, River's capabilities become more clear to the crew of Serenity."
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgandy
"Ron Burgundy is San Diego's top rated newsman in the male dominated broadcasting of the 1970's, but that's all about to change when a new female employee with ambition to burn arrives in his office."
Dead Mans Shoes
"A disaffected soldier (Considine) returns to his hometown to get even with the thugs who brutalized his mentally-challenged brother (Kebbell) years ago."
