As you may have noticed, I will not be done with my Decade in Review until sometime into the new year. Hopefully we'll wrap up shortly after the Oscars; You know how distractingly all-consuming the Oscars can be! I hope you'll stay with it even though the rest of the media will move on any second now. They're always in such a rush. No stopping and smelling of the flowers. I've still got to update that "Actors of the Aughts" project for final compilation/statement. For now, let's move on to 2003. What follows is my original top ten list, based on films released in NYC in 2003. If I have anything new to say that'll be in red after the original text.
Special Mentions: The Cremaster Cycle and Angels in America
Most Underappreciated: Hulk (Ang Lee), In the Cut (Jane Campion), Anything Else (Woody Allen), Charlies Angels: Full Throttle (McG) and

The Girlfriend Experience is one of the more courageous and challenging films to come out this year, and the fact that it Soderbergh’s can give us all hope. An odd beast, Steven Soderbergh; an odd, Janus-faced movie beast. An Oscar-winning director (nominated twice in the same year—a feat only equalled once before, in 1938, by Michael Curtiz, who didn’t win) who pumps out the mall-pleasers like Ocean’s 11, 12, and 13 (though the mall was, apparently, less pleased with 12), Out of Sight, and—let’s face it—Erin Brockovich. He also has a doppelganger, his Imp of the Perverse, that turns out uncompromising, indie fare like Schizopolis, the brilliant Full Frontal, and the even more brilliant Bubble. But it isn’t a case of Robert Altman Syndrome (a director, God rest his soul, seemingly bent on immolating his career and repeatedly swallowing a grenade—like Prêt-à-Porter after The Player and

Huge news in the world of video game publishing today, Zenimax Media has acquired id Software, bringing id’s forthcoming publisher-less titles (i.e. not “Rage,” since EA already called that one) into the same family as Bethesda (publisher of “Fallout 3,” “Oblivion,” and the upcoming “Brink”). Zenimax will publish future id games under the Bethesda Softworks label.
We’ve already reached out to both parties to get a statement, but in the meantime, here’s the release that Zenimax put out:
June 24, 2009 (Rockville, MD) – ZeniMax Media Inc., parent company of noted game publisher Bethesda Softworks, today announced it has completed the acquisition of legendary game studio, id Software, creators of world-renowned games such as Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, and its upcoming title, Rage.

The Company Movie Review

I just finished watching the Robert Altman directed film, "The Company" about the going's on and workings of a fictional Chicago Ballet company and I must say, I was quite thoroughly impressed; not so much for the storyline itself, but because of how different and "realistic" this storyline was portrayed; This movie is a breath of fresh air compared to many other movies nowadays and believe me, some of them need some "air" badly. Neve Campbell plays an up and coming ballet dancer in the company and Malcolm Mcdowell plays a strict and firm, but loving choreographer who cares de

What Films Top Your List of Movies that Didn't Receive Any Oscar Nominations?

Scott Feinberg at The Envelope has created a list of his "The top 25 movies of the past 10 years that got no Oscar love" and it's an interesting idea considering there has been so much hatred aimed at the Academy over The Dark Knight not getting a Best Picture nomination, but it did actually receive eight nominations, which is nothing to scoff at. We are talking about films that didn't receive any nominations, zero, zilch, nada. Any come to mind?
I had never considered the idea since it is a relatively hard thing to imagine that a favorite film of yours didn't receive any Oscar nominations -- wait, is that why general audiences aren't interested in the Oscars? -- but then I went back over my 2003-2008 Top Ten lists and found several that weren't nominated and put together a quick top ten and an example category I think they should have been nominated in.
