Films (out of four):



• http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?s=&postid=368035#post368035 Films:



• Monster's Ball



• In The Bedroom



• Divided We Fall



• Mulholland Drive: David Lynch unleashes his latest effort with little fanfare. And much like With A Friend Like Harry, how one interprets Lynch’s underlying narrative will determine one’s enjoyment of this film. The film is a critique of the Hollywood system and David Lynch is able to pull it off quite nicely with the tone, music, mood and camera shots that has now become his signature. With its fragmented narrative, it is one of this year’s most challenging films and will sure polarize audiences. Those who are patient and are willing to put the pieces of the puzzle together will be greatly rewarded. Naomi Watts is outstanding here. A truly remarkable and mesmerizing film.



• Together: A battered wife with an alcoholic and abusive husband along with their 14-year old daughter and 10-year old son, a self-proclaimed lesbian, a pushover, a manipulative girlfriend, a gay man, a lonely old man who just wants a friend, a curious 14-year old boy with very conservative parents, a political radical and an unpredictable medical student – a collection of strange and offbeat characters whose lives interact with one another in Lukas Moodysson’s satirical look at communal life in the mid-1970’s.



This is a funny, touching, thought provoking and well-acted film. Director Lukas Moodysson manages to create well-defined characters while juggling a huge ensemble cast. This was a very nice surprise and one of this year’s finest films and with its very frank and open approach towards sex both spoken and in visual images that could very well be this year’s boldest film.



• Hedwig And The Angry Inch: This is a punk rock, neo-glam rock musical odyssey. What is very surprising about this film is that underneath all the outrageousness, make-up and over-the-top costumes is a deeply layered human drama about self-discovery, facing adversity and being true to yourself. John Cameron Mitchell gives a very compelling performance as Hedwig that is worthy of an Academy Award nomination. There are very few actors who could have pulled this one off. The musical numbers are filmed with Mitchell actually singing his songs live. The songs by composer/lyricist Stephen Trask are all well conceived and truly rock. The film is definitely not for everyone. I would have preferred it without some of the sexual situations/references contained in the film (even though most of them were only suggestive), but such as it was. The performances and the songs are the true standouts. It also contains some very funny moments.



• The Deep End: Scott McGehee and David Siegel as co-writers, co-producers and co-directors are to be commended for revisiting and reworking a conventional storyline and turning it into an unpredictable, suspenseful and evocative thriller. At times, films by new directors are automatically discounted unless they deliver something truly fresh, shocking or a film with a big plot twist. This film manages to be an effective thriller and also about unspoken love. It’s nice to see films that also turn out to be something else. The film grabbed my attention from the very beginning and contains one of the best female performances so far this year, Tilda Swinton. She pretty much carried the entire film and it wouldn’t have worked well without her performance.



• The Road Home (China)



• With A Friend Like Harry: This film is a great character study about self-doubt and the struggles involved, the lost of individual freedom, the illusions of happiness, and the longing for lost opportunities. The film has been nominated at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival and the 2001 British Academy Awards. It has won several categories at the César Awards, the French equivalent of the Oscar Awards, including Best Director and Best Actor for Sergi López. Both López and co-star Laurent Lucas are outstanding in this movie. Lopez playing the very friendly but frightening Harry and Lucas as the quiet and introverted Michel.



Dominik Moll stays away from clear-cut answers especially in explaining Harry’s motivations. And depending on how you interpret the underlying narrative that Moll dishes out with a certain degree of ambiguity, will determine your level of enjoyment of this film. Those looking for a conventional suspense thriller including the use of music or certain shots to create tension may just be disappointed. Certainly those elements are used here by Moll but at a different level. In addition, most of the violence here occurs offscreen and the film has in it some welcome dark humor.



This film is more psychological than suspenseful, more mysterious than thrilling, and more surreal than menacing. It is definitely not what it appears on the surface. These days, it is rare to have a film in this genre released in the summer that at the same time have a totally different and deeper meaning.



• Moulin Rouge: The Ziegfeld theater in Manhattan was the perfect setting for this film – a highly energetic film that has its own style and character and certainly demands attention. Ewan McGregor gives a very surprising solid performance from the dramatic to the comedic and musical sides required of his character. He and Nicole Kidman sing all of their songs. The musical numbers are well conceived and blows away any of the uninspired musical sequences featured in that musical wannabe from last year, Dancer In The Dark. While Ms. Kidman may have top billing in this film, this one truly showcases McGregor’s talents.



Set in the early 1900’s, M.R. tells the story of a love triangle between a poor writer (McGregor) and a rich duke (Richard Roxburgh) who compete for the love of a courtesan (Kidman), while all three try and conceive a new stage musical. While the story may not be completely original, it is the journey, artistic interpretation and acting that make M.R. excel from all other musicals in recent memory. Director Baz Luhrmann’s visual style is so original that he transports you to another world and the quick cuts along with the exhilarating camera work definitely hold one’s attention. The summer movie season starts off with a bang. Only this time, the fireworks come from M.R.. What a spectacle. Luhrmann by his imagination and creativity shows how an entire film genre can be revived with much success.



• Shrek: Very enjoyable. The jokes towards Disney (and Michael Eisner) were funny and, at times, hilarious. The various parodies on recent films such as The Matrix and Charlie’s Angels work with a high degree of amusement. While I still have to give Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (and Pixar, of course) the overall advantage in all around animation and storyline, this is one very fine effort from the folks over at DreamWorks. A sure crowd pleaser.



• Amores Perros (Love's A Bitch): A film about people in extraordinary circumstances all yearning for love, redemption and the importance of family. The narrative is told in three different stories that intersect halfway through the film. This is a very fine effort from first time director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu with the film getting a Best Foreign Film Oscar nomination. The acting performances are all very strong, especially that of Gael Garcia Bernal as Octavio, who wants a better life for himself and his sister-in-law. This is also a very difficult film to watch because of the dog fighting sequences featured in its first segment. The disclaimer on animal safety at the beginning of the film certainly helped in getting through some of these brutal scenes. The film is so down to earth stripped of any pretentiousness and manipulation involving true and honest emotions.



• Memento: A clever piece of filmmaking as it tells the story of a man who vows to avenge the rape and murder of his wife. The story is told backwards so that the viewer experiences the same dilemma as that of the main protagonist who has short-term memory loss as a result of the incident. Creatively crafted with the use of flashbacks, flashforwards and everything else in between and features one of this year’s best actor performance by Guy Pearce.



• Enemy At The Gates: This is a very intriguing, well-acted film with a lot of tension. The canvas that director Jean-Jacques Annaud uses to tell his story has a feeling of authenticity and believability. I also found the love story to be appealing and added another layer of depth to the entire story. Without it, the film is reduced to another cat-and-mouse game and might as well have been another hybrid of one of those early western films. With the love story, some of the characters’ weaknesses and insecurities were intimately explored. The film is quite entertaining and tells a lot about the choices we make in life. This is a very good effort from Jean-Jacques Annaud who also directed Seven Years In Tibet.

I'm only going to see those that are noteworthy including the independent and foreign films and the high profiled movies. I value my time and life is too short to waste on movies such as Joe Dirt and Freddie Got Fingered. So my list will be shorter than most of the others here.

Wow...I nearly forgot about this thread . Made a pretty big update. I hope I'm not forgetting anything (and if I am, what does that say about the movie? ).
Added O Brother and then promptly removed it when I noticed that it was not considered a 2001 film.

Saw, loved, and added Moulin Rouge. Makes up for the Complete Waste of Time that was Pearl Harbor. Not sure if I will be catching Atlantis or Tomb Raider next weekend, neither of them look all that appealing.
