Top 20 Favorite Films of the Decade (2000-2009)
Jan 1st
Happy New Year to All!
The past 10 years have been very exciting for cinema. Below I’ve compiled my list of 20 movies that stood out the most for me. Albeit there were countless great movies that have come out and well deserving to be on this list, these seemed to stick with me the most and have made a big impact. As with my top films of 2009, my favorite movies of the decade are comprised of mainstream, foreign, and independents that I have enjoyed. Without further ado, here’s the list (in alphabetical order):

Top 10 Favorite Films of 2009
Dec 26th
2009 was a pretty exciting year for movies. As the year ends I’ve chosen a hand full of my favorites. These are the films that came to my mind while reflecting, but it’s likely that I’ve left out a few that I really enjoyed. There were many great mainstream, foreign, and independent films this year so I decided to combine some faves from each group into one list (not an easy task for me). The following list is in alphabetical order, coincidentally the first pick, (500) Days of Summer, would be my favorite if I absolutely had to choose. Note: More >
Smash Cut (2009)
Dec 25th
Rated: n/a (extreme gore) | Review date: 25-Dec-2009
The team of director Lee Demarbre and writer Ian Driscoll, who brought us titles such as Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and The Dead Sleep Easy, pair up again for Smash Cut. The film follows independent filmmaker Able Whitman, played by David Hess, who begins to question his faith in his craft after his latest film received negative reviews. Able seeks inspiration from his stripper friend and muse Georgina Carson aka Gigi Spot. After a late night accident, Able thinks he’s found a new formula to create the most believable horror movies in existence.

Paris, je t’aime (2006)
Dec 24th
aka Paris, I love you
Similar to Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes (2003), Paris, je t’aime is a series of vignettes that meshes several situations and a variety of cameo appearances. Paris, je t’aime is centered on several Parisian neighborhoods and, as the title implies, the romance discovered and created within them. Unlike Jarmusch’s film, however, this film was a collaborative effort from multiple directors including Gus Van Sant, Joel and Ethan Cohen, Wes Craven, and Alfonso Cuarón. Each director (who also wrote their respective segments) brought their own unique vision to the City of Light and their equally unique tales of love. More >
