I have yet to see "Brokeback Mountain," "Shopgirl," and "Match Point," but I'm confident that they will soon be added to the list. Also, while I was hyped on "The Squid and the Whale" and it has been receiving multiple critics award, I was kind of relieved that it wasn't on Ebert or either of the EW critics' Top 10 lists. I need to see it again. Jeff Daniels' character was very convincing, but the film felt too forced...and so damn short (80 minutes)! "Troopie Love" was 62 minutes...

Sydney and I snuck into the last 2 hours of "King Kong," and though Naomi Watts and the Empire State Building sequence were both spectacular, I can't say that I enjoyed it/think it's a better film than the above 10 . I can't claim that I've seen the whole film, but in the last 2/3rds my only beef is that the dinosaur special effects were noticeably fake when they were chasing the film crew ("Jurassic Park" was more convincing, and that was 12 years ago). I was hoping that it would come to Brevard before I went back to school, but no dice.
