Coraline was very good, but not my bag and even though public enemies has problems, it has parts that are very good and are completely toward my taste.

The Hangover is the only movie on the official Rope list that i have seen and would remove. I just didn't get it. I laughed very little and felt the story was complete non sense and went no where.
Also, I really enjoyed Watchmen, and think it says something that a movie that long, dark and violent can get made today.

This year really is back loaded though… I mean the 20 movie list posted earlier this week was missing a few of my personal choices, while still being a list of 20 movies i am interested in. I do not think when this year is said and done that many if ANY of these will show up on final lists. Although for me, UP! i think will i'm head over heels in love with everythig about that movie. It's sad then exciting then heartbreaking then enthralling. I just cannot say enough about it. I cared more about those characters than any other movie so far this year.

1) UP!
2) Watchmen
3) Drag Me To Hell
4) Star Trek
5) Knowing
6) Public Enemies
7) I Love You, Man
8) Observe and Report (highly underrated maybe even by me… This may be our generations Taxi Driver… I don't know. I feel like I need to see it a few more times)
9) Coraline
10) Taken

There are a plethora of movies I still have not seen Like Humpday, The Hurt Locker, Moon, Tetro, In the Loop, Brothers Bloom, Gigantic…ect.ect. So my list is probably as far from complete as possible but there it is…

P.S. I am very excited to see so much love for Away We Go! I have not had the chance to see it yet, but written by one of my all time fav authors (Dave Eggers) and his wife, Directed by Sam Mendes is all i really needed to be jazzed about it, Can't Wait.

I don't see as many movies as you do, Brad, and I haven't gotten a chance to see "The Hurt Locker" or "Moon" yet, but here's my humble list. The last three were pretty solid, but not top ten material; they just happened to make it on the list because we're only halfway through the year (and I'll have you know I've been keeping track of every movie I've watched this year and keeping a list of best-to-worst).

My lineup right now. SIFF rules.

I find the Pixar movies are in a tough spot because now you figure Up is either being nominated for best picture in the new over-saturated category or winning the best animated feature oscar in a category with obviously sub-par movies lol what's the lesser of two evils here.

I would like to believe that Hangover could also be nominated, but I just can't see a raunchy rated-R comedy making it. I do hope I'm wrong though. I'll be seeing the Hurt Locker tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I think it was quite sweet and also funny…although, it is not meant to be Apatow type funny. It was just…endearing. I don't understand the critics and people who don't get that Boris is a misanthrope, an asshole beacuse he is scared of life…not just death…life! but, Melody…an absolutely lovely and lovable Evan Rachel Wood…helps him to see the good and the things worth loving about life. I know it's an old story, but so are most of the ones out there.

I also agree with ROS saying that it just missed. I do think Woody kinda let his best character…Melody…down a bit. Near the end, as a writer, he seemed to have abandoned her. I think that was the biggest mistake. She was the breath of fresh air and the heart of the film!

Still, I enjoyed it, and do not regret seeing it!

I would have loved public enemies, state of play, and adventureland; if intent and some very good parts made a movie, but it doesn't. Public enemies and state of play have too many flaws even though there are things that i like, hell, love in them and adventureland is getting too much credit by critics. it's not that big of deal and it shouldn't have tried too mix in comedy like corn dog jokes. But away we go did exactly what it was trying to do and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Oh, Sin Nombre and Girlfriend Experience almost made my list.
