Badlands was an easy pick for me. The New World is a solid second.

You know, this really IS the Summer of Hell for me; not only are things in my personal life pretty much tragic, but not even popular culture can come to my rescue: the public is embracing to excessive degree a barely mediocre film and then there's the godawful Olympics. Waaaaahhhhh! What's wrong wi...

You know, I'm not entirely down with the criticism that this year has been disappointing, though, as usual, I haven't seen very many films. I have a grand total of six, but I'd recommend five of them.

I have no passes left, but even if I did, I wouldn't waste it on Shakespeare in Love a smug, trite and unfunny waste of celluloid. I still can't believe that Tom Stoppard, perhaps the finest wordsmith in the English language, had anything to do with it. Ugh. Nor am I giving it to Saving Private Rya...

Preserving General Della Rovere in Best Original Screenplay.

If I get a second choice, I'm preserving Babes in Toyland because I recall enjoying the music.

I thought Thomas Newman gave us 2003's best score, but it was for Angels in America.

"The Dark Knight" hauled in $43.8 million to rank as Hollywood's top movie for the third straight weekend, fending off "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" which opened a close second with $42.5 million. Am I the only one surprised to remember this movie has only been out for...

Oh man, I knew I should've preserved The Hustler . Dammit DWS. I actually think the direction to West Side Story is somewhat haphazard. It was tempting to be a dick and just replace Robert Wise (cause I think what Jerome Robbins did was great), but it's not like I could do that. I love Robert Rosse...
