My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2006 edition
My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2006 edition
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — Before I get into all that today, the National Review Board has spoken, and has christened Jason... Reitman's "Up in the Air" as the best movie of 2009. I can't really argue with that since I haven't gotten to see it yet, but there are plenty of other things to celebrate in its list. Anna ...

My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2005 edition
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — It's kind of amazing (at least to me) and - depending on how you look at it... - perhaps kind of depressing that I've been actually been doing this since 2005, but I still like writing it and I hope at least a few people enjoy reading it. So I, of course, did a Top 10 for that year at the time, but ... (more) My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2005 edition

My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2004 edition
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — Before I get into any kudos for movies that came out five years ago, the first (I... believe) salvo in this awards season has been fired, and it has landed majorly in Kathyrn Bigelow's corner. Her "The Hurt Locker" was the big winner at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, taking home the Best ... (more) My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2004 edition

My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2003 edition
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — Compared with the year that preceded it (and please feel free to look back at the first... three installments of this series), 2003 was indeed a down year for movies, but that certainly didn't mean it still didn't have some real winners. It was, in fact, a particularly strong year for ... (more) My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2003 edition

My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2002 edition
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — With many movie years, you have to choose between quantity and quality, but that was certainly not... the case in 2002. There were so many good movies that year that it really is a shame to cut it down to just 10, but those were the rules I established. However, in a nod to just how many worthy ...

Happy turkey day from me ... and the Muppets!
Happy turkey day from me ... and the Muppets!
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — In honor of America's most gluttonous holiday, I'm taking a break from the best of the decade... project - today would have been 2002, so tomorrow will. I can tell you that there were 16 finalists, and only 10 make the final cut, so it was a real competition (although the original "Jack-Ass" movie, ...

My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2001 edition
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — I should probably just drop the years from this thing altogether, because today's list will actually contain... not one, as I had hoped, but two movies that actually came out in late 2000. My only two excuses are that I write this very early in the morning, and well, I sometimes confuse when a ... (more) My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2001 edition

reelfanatic.blogspot.com — Though I will confess I swiped the idea of picking the best movies of the last decade... from somewhere in my morning Web reading, I promise you these choices are all my own (and since, I believe, only one of them from the first year received a Best Picture nomination, they're clearly not anything ...

And it glitters! The answer to one key question about vampire romance
reelfanatic.blogspot.com — It's pretty rare that something can be funny enough to make me do an actual spit take,... but this clip starring Brandon Routh and Martha MacIsaac of "Superbad" in a spoof of "Twilight" was enough to do it with my Saturday morning coffee. Be warned: It answers that key question, "What will happen ... (more) And it glitters! The answer to one key question about ...

reelfanatic.blogspot.com — Actually, the only other news I could find out there that's, well, not better, but at least... insane, is that the "Jackass" crew may be back again in 2010 ... and this time in 3-D. So far, Henry Selick's "Coraline" is the only flick that I thought really took true advantage of the 3-D technology ... (more) Yes, "Chuck" will be back, this time for real

reelfanatic.blogspot.com — The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival just wrapped up last Sunday, and while I can't say they... screened two of my favorite films of the year as they did last year with "Tell No One" and "Let the Right One In," it was still a great weekend jam-packed with good movies (11 in four days for ...

reelfanatic.blogspot.com — I suppose if I wanted a few people to actually read this I'd have something to say... about "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," but beyond my thoroughly inappropriate crush on Anna Kendrick I really don't, so let's just move on. Instead, I do have a few words to say about a truly great - though by no ... (more) With "Precious," believe all the hype

reelfanatic.blogspot.com — After today, I'm shutting this site down for a week or so (though you're still welcome to... stop by, of course) because I'm going to see my parents, hang out in fantastic Rehoboth Beach, Delaware (yes, Delaware), and see 10 or more movies in four days. Yes, it's time once again for the Rehoboth ... (more) A slew of great clips, and then a break for me

reelfanatic.blogspot.com — OK, there's a lot of news out there today about movie people I really like, so let's... just get right into it. Well, actually, it starts with the director of one of my favorite documentaries jumping into something I'll never see, but it's all gravy after that, I promise. If you haven't seen "Man ...

reelfanatic.blogspot.com — You know, I actually saw two fairly exceptional movies yesterday, making it a truly banner day in... my book, but I'm really not quite ready to say anything about "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire" just yet, so instead I'll start with what for me was a truly pleasant surprise, ...
