> Well I'm back, for this post at least. Past
couple weeks have been rough, I don't wanna go
into it. Nice to see some new faces here, fresh
meat for the grinder. Anyway, here's the place to
name your fave movie of the year. Obviously we
all have different tastes, so don't put down
anyone elses choices, but to back your choice up,
provide a good explanation as to why you think
it's the best.

original, but it's really not. It just steals a
bunch of japanime and manga cliches. It's
strength in that it takes the BEST from japanime,
and for the first time, puts it into a real film,
with real actors and special fx. The storyline (I
think) is decent, but the STYLE and MOOD sets it
apart. And you gotta love the direction and
acting (of the AGENTS. man oh man they were
creepy).

definitely worthwhile

acting and sets are just breathtaking. Christina
Ricci, phew!

Well, I really loved the Matrix, and I have yet to
see either of the other two. How was Fight Club?
i was wondering how that was.

Finchplucker, even though I'm gone in ten hours.
