i actually liked the passion of the christ, a lot. i'm not a christian, but it was really good. made me cry even, but i've always had a deep admiration of the jesus character.

and the new merchant of venice with al pacino is fucking brilliant. uniformly great performances from the entire cast, i really dug it.

dogville was released in the states this year, so i'll include it and say it was really really good. von trier seems to always know how to craft good flicks that leave you feeling like shit.

dead man's shoes. not sure how i feel about this one yet, but i think i really liked it.

suburban nightmare was also really good, trent haaga is one of my favourite actors even though is career so far is really short, and both he and brandy little give believable, dysfunctional performances.

the first august underground was really good but august underground's mordum seemed pretty shite to me.
