hmmm...

im gonna say this: the queen is a TV MOVIE and doesn't deserve to be there. as a WHOLE film, it's simply not up to par with the rest. maybe it's the fascination with princess diana or something that got this thing there.

however, helen mirren does a spectacular job. i mean she is fucking awesome. penelope, however, is gorgeousisisima in her role.

best movie, best movie? i'll confess to having avoided united 93 like the plague, but that's what the new york critics picked. (why, im not sure).

hm... i think pan's labyrinth should be right up there w/ the winners but it's being ghettoized to "foreign film" status.

what's the best movie i saw last year/this year? hmm.... i haven't seen little miss sunshine im afraid so i cant comment. actually, i was geographically away from movies most of last year so i watched a lot of dvds. im afraid im not qualified. however, of the stuff i saw recently (december), which has a lot of contenders, im going to say pan's labyrinth takes the cake-- is certainly not avant-garde but it's a fucking near perfect movie. SEE IT.
