Granted, I haven't really seen crap this year, but it's my favorite film of the year so far.

Worst was Mamma Mia, which I didn't even enjoy in a guiltily pleasurable kind of way. I thought it just went back and forth between boring and grating. I also had no love for Safe. Kubrick had equally interesting and beautifully composed shots in The Shining but he also had an actual story and a good movie. I'm not sure I understand Todd Haynes. I love Velvet Goldmine, but I couldn't even get through that Poison movie he did. I've yet to watch the one about the anorexic dolls and the Bob Dylan biopic so maybe once I see those I'll be able to come to a verdict on the guy.

Nice to see love for The Hunted. Man, I love that film.

It was super good. Plus in addition to the samurai scenes I really liked a lot of the little character stuff. Christopher Lambert was adorable. The part in the beginning when he takes off his pants to reveal boxers with little pigs on them, the girl is like, "Piggies?", and he's like, all bashful, "I like piggies." I don't know why but it cracked me up and warmed my heart all at the same time.

Best Amalgam of All Things Sci-Fi: Galaxy Quest
Itty bits of everything in that film means half the fun lies in guessing the reference. Good times.
Most Impressive Shooting for a Blind Guy: Ray Charles, The Blues Brothers
That cameo cracks me up everytime, hilariously self-satirising stuff.
Baddest Villain - Castor Troy, Face/Off
For numerous moments of ultimate badness - shooting his own friends and the like. Cutting up his face was fairly crazy as well.

davewood wrote:Best: The Quiet Earth A nifty, low-key little '80's movie I had completly forgotten about. If you haven't seen it dig it up, worth the effort.
Worst: Deep Space A not nifty, piece o' crap 'Alien' knock-off 'starring' (and I use the word very loosely) Charles Naipier (the poor mans James Remar) and Ron Glass (of 'Barney Miller' fame). This train-wreak of a movie was on late night on 'The Space Channel' in Canada and I was unable t avert my eyes. Fred Olen Ray (a man who could teach volumes to Uwe Boll about craptacularness) achieved the impossible. He made a show so hideouley god aful, I was stunned for the duration of it and was unable to even save myself during commercial breaks. To tell you the truth, I sat, befuddled on my couch for so long, a little bit of pee came out...or maybe it was just my uncontrollable laughter at Julie Newmar's (literally) phoned-in preformance as 'crazy psycic lady. If you're man enough, check it out, I dares ya'.

that's how I felt about TRAILER PARK BOYS: THE MOVIE
I know this show has fans, can one of them explain it to me...or one of you Canadians out there
davewood wrote:Sorry man, I really can't explain The Trailer Park Boys. While I find Bubbles kind of amusing, I just don't see the ha-ha value of the rest of it. Mind you, I'm from Saskatchewan, maybe it's more of an East Coast thing and less of a Canadian thing
davewood wrote:Havoc; well, that explains it...everyone knows you 'pegger's are dicks...lol (I was born in St. Boniface....go Bombers!). Anyway, I don't dislike TPB's, I just don't get the funnies from it, I thought maybe it was a New Brunswick thing...oddly enough, I'm kinda the same way with Corner Gas, don't really feel for it one way or t'other...and I live in Regina, I think there's some sort of Provincial by-law that you have to worship that damn show here. Nope, the one that really irks me is Little Mosque. Now I haven't watched it since the 1st season, but what I did see really should have been called 'Rural White Folks are Paraniod, Slack-Jawed Hillbillies, Aren't they funny?'. Whoops, sorry for the 'All-Canadian TV Hour'...now, back to your regularlly scheduled movie discussion.

Ha...you've readily admitted that you've tested positive for Republicanitis in the past...so I had to throw it out there...
And another thing about Trailer Park Boys (and I'm not asking for a confession here from anybody) but it is also a lot funnier (in my opinion) if you have a tendency to dance with Mary Jane on occasion (or more often than not...either way)
I know that's been an issue with some of friends who have never smoked up - and they hate Trailer Park Boys...
But I reported them to CSIS (Canada's CIA) and they've been dealt with accordingly...(kicked out of the country)

I also have like 80% of my family are stupid drug dealing rednecks so maybe it just hit a little too close to home
or maybe I was just in a pissy mood the night I watched it

The movie isnt really good either.
The show really hits its stride in season 2/3 and I'd try giving it a shot.
