From The Negative Zone

Hell, another really great year for movies. Let The Right One In and The Wrestler are my favorites of the year and defiantly in the top of the decade for me over all. Then of course there's the magic that is The Dark Knight.

This was a really tough year to narrow down to just ten. There were too many good films to choose from. Rocky surprised me with just how damn good it was. Untied Ninety Three is a heart wrenching and at times strangely up lifting about the darkest day of the decade and some of the heroes of that day. V for Vendetta was as much a satire of post 9/11 government as it was adaption of the comic. Casino Royale was a great return for 007 and one of his best outings. Like I said above this was a hard year to pick only ten, here's a few runners-up.

Two great music documentaries came out, though End Of The Century my favorite of the two by far. Spider-man 2 and Kill Bill vol. 2 were both superior to their first installments. Sky Captain sadly was over looked as was Ginger Snaps 2. And EuroTrip I enjoyed on multiple levels.

Looking back it was a great year for movies. A few of my favorites of the decade came out this year. The Rules of Attraction,  and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers are up there as far as all time favorites go. Two Towers is my favorite of the Lord of the Rings films. Rules of Attraction is probably one of my favorites of the decade also, It's a same what happened with Roger Avary. Equilibrium was one of the better science fiction films to come out this decade. I remember watching Secretary Christmas eve, what a way to spend the holiday!

Many sites are doing best of lists, and I love a best of, so here's mine. With a few notes here and there. Swing over to Cinema Du Meep and check out the best of the decade posts there. They were a major influence on my format for this. When I went to see this in the theater with Dan we both laughed our asses off. But we seemed to be the only one there that got the film's dark satire of 80's yuppies. Many did not care for it, but I kind of dug it. There's a creepy vibe to the proceedings that I appreciated. Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku as cheerleaders! Besides it was actually funny too. This film is here more for the memory of going to the theater with my dad to see it then the film it's self.
