The Moviegoer

Sandra Rae, mi madre, has been recommending a lot of movies recently. And Virgin, Megastore is closing. So, this got me thinking about movies I would like to buy. A lot of them are from last year. Good show, movie world. Good show.

Thinking about this made me want to list my Top Ten movies from last year. You should watch them.

The Fountain



The Science of Sleep




The Departed



Down in the Valley




The Prestige





Pan's Labyrinth





Children of Men




Brick





Half Nelson






Little Miss Sunshine





Honorable Mention - The Descent







PS - I like posting pictures on my blog.

I saw The Descent at R bar. They didn't have the sound on for most of it, but I don't think that really detracted from the movie...

I must say that the sound in The Descent is pretty hot.

Izzi: Remember Moses Morales?
Tom Verde: Who?
Izzi: The Mayan guide I told you about.
Tom Verde: From your trip.
Izzi: Yeah. The last night I was with him, he told me about his father, who had died. Well Moses wouldn't believe it.
Tom Verde: Izzi...
Izzi: [embraces Tom] No, no. Listen, listen. He said that if they dug his father's body up, it would be gone. They planted a seed over his grave. The seed became a tree. Moses said his father became a part of that tree. He grew into the wood, into the bloom. And when a sparrow ate the tree's fruit, his father flew with the birds. He said... death was his father's road to awe. That's what he called it. The road to awe. Now, I've been trying to write the last chapter and I haven't been able to get that out of my head!
Tom Verde: Why are you telling me this?
Izzi: I'm not afraid anymore, Tommy.

This list is so good it makes my eyes hurt to read it.
