watched 'The Fountain" again, to see if maybe it was better than I remember, and its not. it had a lot of cool scenes and some ideas, but its so bloated and melodramatic and the ending is so long that it feels like youre watching a 180 minute film instead of a 90-minute film.
i'm making a top 50 list for the first decade of this century [00-09]. anything weird that i definitely need to see that might rock my world? I have a short list already of stuff i haven't seen yet, including
:
Ichi the Killer
Survive Style 5+
Dogville
Cache
Primer
2046
The Great World of Sound

The best films I saw in the 00s were mostly documentaries. I don't think anyone's gonna look at that decade as a golden age for regular feature films but it was definitely one for the documentary.
My top ten of those would be:
9/11, Jules and Gedeon Naudet, 2002
In the Shadow of the Moon, David Sington, 2007
The King of Kong, Seth Gordon, 2007
Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore, 2002
Dogtown and Z Boys, Stacy Peralta, 2001
Some Kind of Monster, Joe Berlinger, 2004
Helvetica, Gary Hustwit, 2007
Man on Wire, James Marsh, 2008
Jesus Camp, Rachel Grady, 2006
Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore, 2004
Ten regular feature films I liked
Sideways
Talk to Her
Irreversible
Lord of the Rings
Volver
Traffic
Apocalypto
United 93
Mullholland Dr.
War of the Worlds
