or at least the most decent films.
my picks are:
1. THE INCREDIBLES
2. COLLATERAL - nice subtle payoffs such as
Cruise's signature shoot groups at the metal door
of the train, or dying in an MTA...
3. THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST (direction-wise,
an excellent film)
4. M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN'S THE VILLAGE - an
emotionally stirring theme and some heavy
metaphors. nice pov switching for the protags. and
Manoj's sustaining of the pacing via misdirection
(in the end) beautiful score from JNH too.
5. KILL BILL VOL. 2 - artistic blend of the martial
arts and Western genre.
Nobody mention School of Rock, ROTK or Kill Bill 1 cos they were 2003 releases, although they were shown this year.
have yet to see:
