I feel Shame will make it into this list easily. I haven't seen many of the films on this list. :(

This movie should have gotten a lot more attention that it did. It should be discussed more. Children of Men is easily one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made. And it has a brilliant soundtrack too! It's a masterclass in film-making. And the actors have tremendous chemistry.

Why is it that the poor and the down-trodden let themselves be made use of by vile men?

p.s. This is arguably the best prose you've written. It must have taken a lot of restraint to keep your rage at a consistent simmer behind the text. :)

It does feel like that now, more than ever before, misinformation can be perceived as equally - if not more - credible than good information. Great article! And you're right, he was very articulate.

I've been waiting for this film for ages. The only reason I did not see it this weekend was that I had to see Tree of Life. And that film affected me more than I expected; I couldn't watch another film after. This is a great review! I will be seeing this movie sometime during the week.

"this is the closest a video game gets to being a work of art." I am surprised by the implication that it's not quite art yet, that it's pretty close. So, what does it take for a videogame to be considered art. My position is that quite a few games are works of art; BioShock, Half Life, Myst, Clive Barker's Undying etc. come to mind.

Way to make a guy feel old as he rings in the new year - point it out to him that The Matrix was released 12 years ago. Have a great year PS.

Nice! Great to see you dabbling in fiction (or is it?) again.
