With Monster's Ball my list should be pretty close to completion. I know I have yet to see nearly everything, but I don't forsee anyithing causing a shift in my current top ten. Also, upon further deliberation (read: second screenings) I untied The Royal Tenenbaums and Amelie, and placed Tenenbaums at the top spot on my list. My goodness, Hackman was so shafted by the Academy. As were everyone else involved with the film. It is such an immaculately-crafted work.

"How long have you been smoking?"
"Since I was 11."
"Well...You should stop!"

Never heard of this. I'm a honky.

Jason Seaver

Updated with a couple of features and a couple of shorts.

Monkeybone is why I try and see everything in the theater. Maybe, if there was a group of us in the room, there would have been laughter. As it is, it's bad enough to bump Town And Country off the bottom-10 list. ¾

The Independent was the closing film of SF/27, this year's 24-hour sci-fi movie marathon at the Coolidge Corner theater, and its high point (well, other than Happy Accidents ). An extremely funny movie that's been in the can a while - filmed in 2000, released late 2001 in NY/LA because, apparently, they thought they could get Jerry Stiller nominated for best actor, and soon to make its way across the nation's boutique theaters - it's a mockumentary about Corman-esque filmmaker Morty Fineman (Stiller), with a pretty good cast (Janeane Garafolo, Max Perlich) even beore you get to the high-quality nepotism and funny as-themselves camoes (Corman, Ron Howard, others). The end credits demand freeze-framing on DVD as all 426 of Morty's insane movies are listed.

Speaking of SF/27, not only did Miramax send the wrong movie, but they did it twice! And I'd really been looking forward to Light Years Trilogy with Danny Boyle's "Alien Love Triangle", Bryan Singer's "The Last Question", and Gary Fleder's "Impostor, The Shorter And Hopefully Better Version". Would have been a world premiere, too.

More short stuff: Added the Oscar-nominated "For The Birds", which I'd been under the impression was a 2000 movie, and the painful-to-watch "Wave Twisters". Hip-hop dentists in space. Ugh.
