An Education (Scherfig) - 5/10

Wonderful star turn and supporting female cast lift schematic script that leaves us with two messages: 1) be bored and work hard through the early 60's, and 2) don't trust Jews.

There. The message of An Education is one of two things: 1) trust the faceless uncaring institution to lead to whatever vague opportunities promised/threatened by the sour-faced marms leading you along, or 2) don't trust Jews. I'm exaggerating the latter of course but An Education does such a far m...

(Sorry guys, what have you done in this category? (Polansky and Daldry out?)

Hey, Esther Kahn is better than The Pianist and Talk to Her. No idea why you're bemoaning the exclusion of Stephen Daldry.

Sabin

Copy that. I had to think very hard about my choice. I think Polanski and Almodovar are two of the best nominees this decade, but my viewing of Esther Kahn knocked me on my ass. I was going to replace Julianne Moore for The Hours with Ronit Elkabetz for Late Marriage or Isabelle Huppert for 8 Women...

Sabin

I'm sorry, am I going again?

The Brothers Bloom (2009) Rian Johnson 1/10

WHOAH!!!!!

Sabin

Arnaud Desplechin (Esther Kahn) replaces Roman Polanski in the category of Best Director.

Sabin

Ooh. Yeaaaaaaah. This is bad. Until the post-apocalypse, no war is going to come down to landmines.

They complain about Meryl Streep's accents, but no one has more annoying accents up her sleeve than Moore, especially in tandem with Todd Haynes.

I don't like Meryl Streep's menopausal bitch accent in The Hours.

Sabin

Esther Kahn is 2000, isn't it?

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is illustrated in the dictionary next to "putrid"

Ha! No it's not! I just checked and you're wrong! There is nothing illustrated in the dictionary next to putrid.

I say it's the best film of the decade.

Sabin

I really hope this movie is good. I know this is kind of a tangent but I'm very interested in how history will judge the renaissance of "New Disney Classics" beginning in '89 and continuing onward. When The Little Mermaid came out, a lot of discussion began because of the alleged two year...

Sabin

I already replaced it.

Sabin

Pass.

Film The TONY top 50 movies of the decade We count down the movies that mattered. Who knows what to call them: the Aughts, the Naughts, the “Double-Os.” Actually, we prefer the Uh-Ohs, given the movies these ten years have produced. Looking back, we found mastery and mirth—but mainly a lot of pain....
