I agree...I have always enjoyed Oscars lists very much...and eveyone's. I'm a big fan of lists...they're a fun!
Not sure if I was clear (it was really late last night). My idea for doing lists ...
A quick update on my personal picks for Best Actor 2004:
1) Don Cheadle - Hotel Rwanda
2) Paul Giamatti - Sideways (not nominated)
3) Jamie Foxx - Ray
4) Leonardo DiCaprio - The Aviator
5) Jim...
For what it's worth, my list is just my personal Top Ten movies of 2004 (I've seen 86 so far). It's still changing as I continue to see more movies (for example I just saw Hotel Rwanda and...
That's exactly my point...I wouldn't assume you know my viewing habits, yet you assumed that you did know them (by assuming that I don't watch foreign or indie films). If you wanted to know, you...
Here's my updated Top Ten of 2004 after seeing Hotel Rwanda and Motorcycle Diaries this weekend:
01) Million Dollar Baby
02) Sideways
03) Hotel Rwanda
04) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...
Why would you assume that? I watch hundreds of movies every year...there just hasn't been any good ones yet this year. I had hoped that Dave Barry's movie would be good, I actually paid $17.50 to...
I didn't care for Constantine (1.5/4) - Too much emphasis on special f/x, not enough on story.
I've seen sixteen 2005 movies so far and not a good one yet. Let's hope the year gets better (they...
I just watched The Aviator last night which is starting to get me close to seeing most of the nominees for the main categories. I still need to see Ray when it comes out on Tuesday and a few others,...
Thanks for the tips...I'll definitely take them under consideration when I make my choices.
I did see the original 'The Big Red One' in the theater and it would be interesting to see the...
The SBIFF is about to start and I'm hoping to catch as many films as I can manage. I haven't had time to research the films thoroughly yet, but there are three on my list I hope to see so far:
...
I agree, after seeing it nominated, I watched it last night. While I didn't hate it, it definitely wasn't anything special and I saw other documentaries more worthy of nomination. Probably my...
Whew...looks like I successfully avoided all of those. If I was in the mood for a bad movie, I could see myself watching Catwoman sometime. But little chance I will ever see the others.
Milner's Hotrod from American Graffiti...

Too bad they wrecked Falfa's '55 Chevy (the same '55 that was used in Two-Lane Blacktop).
While I agree with most of the original rants, IMDB (IMO) is the best movie site around. Their database, while not perfect, has got to be the most complete around. I have been frequenting it since...
As always, there have been plenty of bad movies this year...the worst three for me so far are:
3) Fat Albert
2) Van Helsing
1) Dark Waters
I would never take money for something like that. I'd offer to do it for you, but who knows when I'll get to it. I haven't even done it for myself yet (and I've had my recorder about 7 months),...
Just watched the new version Star Wars. Not only were all the changes totally unnecessary, but in some case downright distracting. I hate what he did with the scene when they enter Mos Eisley. ...
As I've mentioned before, I am working on a chronological viewing of all of Hithcock's movies. I've created a webpage for my reviews http://www.andrewnixon.com/movies/hitch.htm. FYI, it's a...
I like THX1138 and I look forward to getting my copy in the mail any day now. But favorite film by Lucas is American Graffiti.
I ordered it from dvdsoon.com (note: their prices on their site are listed in Canadian Dollars)...The exact amount I paid was $67.80 USD (and shipping is free).
It was the second cheapest place...
Just FYI, The Wrong Man has been released on VHS and Laserdisc (the VHS is still available). But I am looking forward to getting these DVDs (The should be coming in the mail any time).
I wish...
I REALLY enjoy Sabotage, much for the scene that cinemabon mentions, but thought the whole movie was good!
For the record, the Criterion Collection Laserdisc is a MUCH better copy of the movie...
While I usually spend Labor camping, if you are looking for some good Labor Day movies to watch, here's my top ten: http://www.andrewnixon.com/movies/labor.htm
1) On the Waterfront (1954)
2) The...
Where's Lifeboat?! Oh well, I'll just have to stick with my Laserdisc for awhile longer.
