i came here to mention Mars Attacks!, but someone has done so before me… anyway they are the best. All Tim Burton titles are amazing, Planet of the Apes titles are a film by themselves!
“femme fatale”
this year – “the good, the bad and the weird” – it’s rare but please check it out, it’s a celebration of cinematic cinema. non-stop unbelievable scenes and shots, music and action
i just wanted to mention it after seeing all the negativity at the “worst of” thread. every year there are amazing films but people moan that nothing is good anymore without bothering to check it out… all this talk about the sad funeral of batman is so boring
cheers :)
ps. of the “serious drama” films i loved “summer hours” this year, not to forget it…
i love “millions”, but i didn’t like “slumdog” at all. it was using nastiness and darkness in a bad way without thinking or reasoning (like “tdk”). and yes, i love “salaam bombay” :)
how could i forget, the perfect example: “ghosts of mars”! it’s just an awesome badass sci-fi horror action (and more) yet everyone just bitches about it
