It is somewhat unlikely that I will do a best movies post this year, because I fell in love and maintaining an LDR wreaks merry havoc with the movie-going. I liked Sin City and A History of Violence; they make a nice pair of bookends, as one's a commentary on the memes captured by the other.

Roger Ebert's list looks pretty good, though. I wanted to see most of the movies he lists.

You know, Ebert continues to have the strongest correlation between any reviewer and my personal taste. The fact that it's a negative correlation makes it no less useful. Of the films he lists, I liked Proof best, followed by Murderball and Good Night, and Good Luck. None of these were in his top ten and only one even made the special jury award section. I also loved Bride and Prejudice, Serenity, and (yes) Narnia. I'd really like to see Bee Season, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Paradise Now, The Aristocrats, and Layer Cake, none of which he mentions at all. Sure, I'm sure I'll enjoy King Kong, but who won't? And I don't think film critics are allowed not to like Brokeback Mountain, so that one doesn't count either.

Dude. We live in the Space Age, remember? You take the videophone to the movie, hold it up so she can watch with you. I don't see what the problem is. I'll expect to see that post by eight AM.
