The Avengers
Whedon's direction is absolutely brilliant. While the kinetic (and strangely believable) sci-fi/fantasy action takes place, the brilliant writing and the way he handles it so sensitively underneath it all makes for one of the most powerful of superhero films; touching on death and what it means to be a hero in more personal and successful ways than any other film the genre has before.

Interesting review of Halloween II. Out of curiosity, have you seen the theatrical cut?

I have, Duncan. I'm not much of a fan of it. It really removes a lot of what I find powerful and moving in the DC. Not just the ending, either.

Psst, check out Ed Gonzalez's top 10 lists (http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/feature/ed-gonzalez-top-10s/212). His and your thoughts on Halloween II and Sucker Punch are alike.

I was a Gonzalez fan ever since I found out he supported Halloween 2 with me. Colour me even more a fan now that he likes Sucker Punch, too. Out of all critics, it seems like he's the one I match up with the most.

Too bad I haven't started one, but I know that you're definitely invited if I did. I'm not even in the "it's a good movie" camp.. I actually think its a masterpiece (for lack of anything but the hyperbolic).

Yeah, the hate is a bit justified, I guess - if you're looking at the film from a certain perspective. It's hard to really like a film that thinks so positively of death, though. Haha.
