I thought Dark Blue World was not good enough to transcend it's cliches. The "two guys in love with the same woman" plot just didn't work for me and while it was cool to see aerial combat scenes again, they weren't done any better than those of the 60's and the CGI was more annoying. I enjoyed the camaraderie of the men, and some of the humor.
Bully was awful though maybe I should have given it some "so bad it's funny" points. Every single character in that film was so incredibly stupid and annoying, I was laughing and shaking my head the whole time. Also the mug shots has to be one the most despicable DVD "extra" I've come across. It was so ineptly filmed and directed I don't think it's possible to see them in anything but the most negative of lights, but the film seems to ask you to feel sorry for them. Sorry it had nothing to do with their upbringing, it's called BORN STUPID. These people are undeserving of the sympathy/notoriety Clark seeks to give them. Or maybe Clark just wanted an excuse to film Bijou Phillips' crotch

Added Original Sin (5/10)
biggest flaw - boring script. Only Antonio B. managed to save the film with some pretty solid acting. The rest is just too dull for the subject matter. No tension, sexual or otherwise.
Also finally added Life as a House to my list though I saw it awhile back.
On Tino's recommendation I have The Devil's Backbone sitting here, so I will be adding it pretty soon as well.

Still waiting on Gosford Park, The Majestic, and Spy Game. Several other out of stocks have shipped to me recently so maybe these finally will too, but right now it's Soprano's time.

Please excuse me bumping this thread.
But, I am completely re-tooling my list.(still working on it)
Changing the 'letter rating' to the now standard star rating.
Plus, I'm putting everything in alphabetical order
and also adding some recent 2001 title viewings.
