I watched Hot Fuzz again, and am beginning to think it may be a complete satire of America in general. Regardless, it's a great flick.

Juno was an absolutely adorable film and it cost me nothing. I love free passes and I love this film.

Bourne Ultimatum
Michael Clayton Zodiac The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford Half Nelson Enjoyed a lot of films this year, but absolutely nothing blew me away. Bourne was an adrenaline rush though, and that and Michael Clayton were my favourite films by some way. "I know that human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully" |

Goddamn it. I forgot Bourne Ultimatum.
It was brilliant, incandescent! Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been, Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene; As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be, So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me. |

I just finished watching The Bourne Ultimatum for the second time, this time on DVD. I still don't feel that this third installment was as fascinating and compelling for me as the first two movies, but I enjoyed more the second time around. What I enjoyed about the first time movies was for The Bourne Identity was of course the whole discovery element as well as the human relationship component having a woman to play off of while The Bourne Supremacy had the emotional trauma of Bourne losing his love while at the same time having this great intense cat and mouse play with Landy along with all the action. The last installment while super great as a action spy movie, loss the more full human element and direct interplay between great minds as the second installment. What I particularly liked this time around in The Bourne Ultimatum was the continuing role of Nicky played by Julia Stiles and this time she had a much more intriguing role that has yet to play out in any future Bourne movies. Some critics have really pointed to Julia Stiles as the weakest part of this series while I instead believe her performances have been some of the best about the series. |

100% agree with this post. When I saw the 3rd Bourne in theatres I felt let down. The suspense, the emotional element wasn't there. I watched it again on DVD and now I like it a bit more. |

Forget all discussions of "best of '08" until you see Juno. I just got back from seeing it and if I said it was a miracle of a film, that's selling it short.

No Country for Old Men
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Into The Wild Michael Clayton Eastern Promises Juno doesn't open here until Christmas, but I'll be seeing it. Is it a "miracle" in the same vein as Little Miss Sunshine? That's what I've heard. I liked LMS a lot in the theater; now, I think it's just alright. |

I didn't think Juno was quite as good as the reviews have been. I liked it quite a bit, but didn't love it. The dialogue is kind of stylized, and I found it off-putting for the first 15 minutes -- it seemed to be trying too hard to be odd and edgy and cult-y. But once the main plot of Juno seeking parents for her baby (surely I am not giving anything away here?) gets going, I settled in and liked it.

Just watched this two nights ago. Great film. Don't know why it took me so long to get round to watching it... absolutely loved Dead Man's Shoes. This Is England is up there with it. Shane Meadows can do no wrong just now. "I know that human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully" |

Just rented and watched that again a few hours ago, and it was just as good as when I saw it in theaters. I was worried that I had just been caught up in the hype, but this movie really holds up. ------------------------------------------------------------- What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did he get so high? |

Peewee, I saw Juno today, and both me and the people I went with felt exactly the same way as you. The movie opens up with a bunch of cutesy stylized dialogue, which I assume is meant to grab your attention, but I found it off-putting, thinking, "God, is the whole movie gonna be like this?!" ("That ain't an etch-a-sketch Junebug; this is one doodle that can't be undid") But it settles down eventually. Ellen Page is a great talent, and I'm sure she'll go on to do more good movies. She gives a really winning performance. But overall, I thought the movie was pretty good, but not quite great. Definitely not one of the top 5 of the year. Top 10, probably. Jennifer Garner was actually very good; I didn't know she had it in her. |

She's really got the "Alt-Lolita" character nailed. This movie following up on the heels of "Hard Candy". ********************** Metal-Archives POTD
