Top 10 of 2004

So far, this year is the best of the 00's to me (...so far). The films had higher ratings overall than other years and a few I really enjoyed didn't make the cut ( Garden State, Spanglish, Ray, The Bourne Supremacy ). And my blind spots include some pretty notable pictures that would probably...

Top 10 of 2001

OK. We are in 2001 now. For your information, the way I have ranked things is by giving a score from 1-100 for each movie in the categories of Story, Visual Presentation and Acting.

Old is New – 70s Casting Director

You’re a casting director with a time machine. Name your quintessential 70s cast. Include (at least) a lead actor, a lead actress, two supporting roles and a cameo. For extra kicks, name what genre of film it would be.
