September Cinema
Top 5 Films of 2005 (so far):
1.) 2046 - It planted a seed in my mind when I saw it. I liked it a lot when I was watching it and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Wong Kar-Wai may be the best Director working today.
2.) Murderball - A great documentary where the game itself is just a structure that connects the incredible stories of the people involved.
3.) Grizzly Man - A critical look at a man who lived (and died) with Grizzly Bears.
4.) War of the Worlds - I am one of the only people who thought so highly of this movie. It has it's flaws but I feel the excitement the film generates during it's great scenes outweighs it's shortcomings.
5.) The Aristocrats - One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time
