Think you meant Jamie Foxx made his dramamtic debut in Ray, though. Which he also happened to win a Golden Globe for. 110161@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Jan 2005 12:41:58 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/01/08/220855.php#comment-107556 I have always preferred great stories and drama to action movies or disaster flicks, whatever you want to call them. Jurassic park, Godzilla, TDAT, Independence day..those are not my flicks. I hate Childrens movies too. I was dragged kicking and screaming to watch the Lion King. I hate animation. Therefore, I have no interest in Shrek, Toystory, Sharktale or whatever else they have out there. My favourite movie of 2004 was "The Notebook". I can watch that a zillion times. Was it a 2004 movie? LOL. The others that I can remember are..1)Door in the Floor 2) We don't live here anymore 3)Dreamers 4) Ae Fond Kiss...was "How to lose a guy in 10 days, last year? If it was, add it to my list. I enjoyed that. Cooler, I enjoyed as well. There were some others but these were my absolute favs that I have added or will add to my DVD collection. I can't rave enough about The Notebook. That none of the actors have got any nominations for any awards to my knowledge, is a travesty. Same with Basinger and Bridges for Door In The Floor. 107556@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Jan 2005 03:42:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/01/08/220855.php#comment-107555 I can't believe you left out Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! 107555@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Jan 2005 03:16:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/01/08/220855.php#comment-107537 I've seen many of the movies you write about, and generally agree with your reviews. TDAT was enjoyable for the special-effects only. The storyline was inane. SIDEWAYS was interesting, but not exactly the best thing I've ever seen. TROTK was awesome, but then the entire LOTR trilogy was. Collateral had some great acting and a very interesting premise. I haven't yet seen the rest, and I refuse to watch F911... 107537@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Jan 2005 00:49:44 EST
