I wasn't involved in last years list, and was a little late this year. Not sure of all the rules, but I've only been tracking what I've seen theatrically. So far 57. I haven't been comparing, as I am not sure I have all the criteria down. I have also been tracking my DVD viewing in th DVD CHallenge thread.

Well, I've posted less just because nobody's clearing out the update posts like Jason Whyte used to. Also, I've off-loaded the "seen for the first time" stuff to my blog.
But, five more since the 15th:
#60: The Stepford Wives -  ¾ - How do you make a movie set in 2004 where the characters don't know the concept of the Stepford Wife? Badly.
#61: Control Room (documentary) -     - Very interesting fly-on-the-wall view of the Al-Jazeera news service
#62: The Terminal -    ½ - Far from Spielberg's most ambitious, but well-executed.
#63: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story -    ¼ - Flat. Out. Funny.
#64: La Finestra di Fronte ( Facing Windows in the USA) -    ½ - Better than the "food movie" I thought it was going to be.
Jay's Movie Blog - A movie-viewing diary.
Transplanted Life: Sci-fi soap opera about a man placed in a new body, updated two or three times a week.
Trading Post Inn - Another gender-bending soap, with different collaborators writing different points of view.
"What? Since when was this an energy ball movie?" - Overheard during a screening of Takashi Miike's Dead Or Alive
"What the hell religion are you people?" - Overheard during the Captain Marvel serial at SF/29
"If I feel even one bullet hit me, I will rip your lungs out through your nostrils!" - Ron Silver as himself, "Heat Vision And Jack"

Touching The Void - Gripping story and presentation takes us through this incredible mountaineering survival story. Quite literally an edge-of-the-seat experience that the whole time I was watching I wished I'd caught it at the theater. A-

One day to go and more likely am not going to see another one for today & tomorrow, so here's my Top 10 for the 1st Half of 2004 out of only 39 seen (in alphabetical order):
Bon voyage
Dogville
The Dreamers
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Fahrenheit 9/11
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Hero (Ying Xiong)
Kill Bill: Volume 2
The Passion Of The Christ
Touching The Void
Disappointing: The Terminal & Shrek 2
Surprising: none [probably just a little bit ... hated Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore & Ray Romano but like them all in 50 First Dates and Welcome to Mooseport]
Worst 4: Torque, Club Dread, You Got Served, Catch That Kid

Updated with Touching the Void and Spider-man 2, both excellent films and i'm glad I caught the former in its last session at my local cinema. Not sure if it would have the same impact at home but a great story of the human spirit.
