	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I'm not very good at remembering when movies come out since I only really rent them. Pirates was good (saw that in the theater, twice) as was X-Men (which I also saw in the theater).

I also like Daredevil, The Matrix, and Bruce Almighty

I hated Phone Booth and Old School, and I really hated The Hulk (which make me mad since I am a big Marvel fan)...

I still need to see a lot of things.

Master and Commander was a good movie. X2 was also good. That's the extent of the movies I've seen.

RoTK will be good, of course.

Kill Bill was fantastic, easily my film of the year. Intolerable Cruelty was great too, though I doubt the Coen Brothers could produce anything I wouldn't like. Finding Nemo was a big shock. I usually hate disney, but I loved that film. Watching it while feeling hyper and childish just made me smile a lot Bruce Almighty was quite good too. Haven't really watched any bad ones, since all the ones that looked too stupid for words (like Seabiscuit) I just avoided.

Haven't seen Master and Commander or Pirates if the Caribbean, which could be good, but I didn't really appeal at the time.

Can't wait for LotR: RotK. Will be very good, though will take a lot to make me think it was film of the year, after the masterpiece that is Kill Bill. Matrix Revolutions was good, though not quite the masterpiece I had hoped for. I wasn't disappointed, it was a good film, and I enjoyed it, but there was always a possibility for something amazing, and that didn't happen for me.

Hey it would be good as a double-feature along side maybe Harry Potter?

Both would be fair fiction?

Phone Booth is a classic but it's the kind of movie you can't watch twice.

I missed Seabiscuit and Kill Bill. Nothing else I've seen was outstanding.

What'd I do?

On a side note, I really really really wanted to like Master and Commander...but I just couldn't. The action was great, the setting was good, and Russell Crowe was good. The problem is, he couldn't carry a script that was sub-par. It was just too "RRR...ME MAN" for me.

I can't wait until Last Samurai. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but it looks really good.

book of mormon volume one oh yeah that was a great movie.
yeah right pitty me I live in Utah.

Anyways

T3 was by far the most dissapointing

Reloaded was ok but really it was just there to link the first and 3rd movie together

Best movie of the year so far: Millenium Actress

I doubt anything will unseat that movie, considering I love it so much. I wrote a review, but I doubt you guys want to read it.

Worst movie of the year: Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas.

I doubt you guys want to read the review for that either.

Most dissapointing: Down With Love
Great cast, great trailer, great art direction and idea, terrible script and execution. The most akward movie of the year.

Most surprisingly good: Anger Management
Marisa Tomei and Adam Sandler's romance rung true for me, and I thought the humor worked. I viewed the ending, which many hated, as so over the top in its use of the sappy hollywood ending as extending over into conscious self-parody. Highly and surprisingly enjoyable movie.

Best so far?

American Splendor, Lost in Translation, and I forget the whole name, a documentary on the Friedman family.

The Cukoo was good too, but not in the same league as those three.

"a documentary on the Friedman family"

Capturing the Friedmans

I haven't seen it, but I doubt it's a better documentary than spellbound.

I have not seen spellbound so I could not say. But it was very powerfull.

I really want to see CTFs... it does look good. Spellbound was an amazing documentary, however. It was like an Errol Morris film, only on a subject that he wouldn't have chosen due to its lightness...

Really, really awesome filmmaking.

Best:

Seabiscuit
Mystic River
Lost in Translation

Not seen

Kill Bill
X men II
RoTK
The Last Samarai

The three films I listed are the only ones I saw this year (that I can remember) that I totally thoroughly enjoyed. Seabiscuit is one of the best films I have ever seen. A true joy. Mystic river is a great film, but a bit depressing. Lost is translation is a beautiful love story. Bill Murray is simply great - his best performance ever.

	Put an end to popups!

I rate Kill Bill vol 1 as both the best and the worst movie of 2003.

That's how I feel about. Some things I found incredibly cool, and some things I found incredibly stupid.

Also it's like the only movie I seen this year

oh I did see 28 days later- but technically that is a 2002 film.

oh I also saw T3- I liked it, but it could have been better- like having Cameron direct it

And someone actually saw gigli? I want proof you actually saw that movie and aren't jumping on the gigli bashing bandwagon

Well, we don't get really interesting stuff like "Lost in translation" here in Turkey, and we're way behind on films in general (Seabiscuit, Kill Bill and Intolerable Cruelty have yet to open here); so this is not an incredibly well-informed list. But:

Best of 2003
1. Finding Nemo
2. Master and Commander
3. Mystic River
4. Pirates of the Carribean
5. Love Actually (I'm with cinch; it was really funny)

(looking back at #1-4, it seems like it was a pretty good year for water)

Worst of 2003
(This list brought to you by a man who must stop letting his 13-year-old daughter pick which movies they see together)

1. T3
2. Daredevil
3. The Hulk
4. Matrix Revolutions

(edited because I had completely repressed the memory of T3, but then another poster forced it to the surface)
