35 From 3: My Favorite Films From 2003
 And when this big screen adaptation of The Man Without Fear was over, I have to admit I really enjoyed it. I honestly don't know where all the hate was coming from. Now I pride myself as being quite the faithful hardcore comic book nerd, and I'm not going to claim that this is the greatest superhero movie ever made, but I honestly don't believe that this warranted all the negative press that it did. I mean, sure., I think that I would have preferred to have seen Ben Affleck's real life partner in crime Matt Damon in the role (especially after watching Damon's fighting scenes in the Bourne Identity series which makes me of the opinion that his look would've fit the Matt Murdock persona a lot better than Affleck), but I don't think it took away too much from the character that was the blind attorney at day who donned a red mask and tights at night to leap and swing acrobatically between the concrete canyons that was Hell's Kitchen and fought any and all evil doers who tried to litter the back streets below with their law breaking shenanigans.
 Since that first viewing in the theater, I've watched Daredevil again a couple of times on both video and streaming platforms, and Every time that I did., I saw. nothing that. changed my mind. from my initial opinion. here.Â
 So, I guess what I'm left here with is that DD might not be a movie that I'll probably be recommending to any fellow comic book aficionados in the future (particularly considering that now that the streaming series has gotten such rave praise from the fans of superhero entertainment), but personally, since I very well entertained by it, it will continue to be included my lists of movies faves of 2003.


 It's a piece of cinematic crap-art that has been playing in theatres since its initial release in 2003 and the last time that I checked, at the time of this posting, itis still going strong .And the main reason for that is b'cuz it has developed a reputation as an audience-participating event. It is now standard for movie-goers to quote or yell out responses to specific scenes, or to even throw plastic spoons at the screen whenever a certain prop makes an appearance. You will even spot a football being tossed back and forth from one side of the theatre to the other during certain intervals.  In other words, The Room has pretty much become the straight person's answer to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
And to be honest, isn't it about time we got one?
 Because of the very limited means that were available to the average Joe filmmaker between the 50s all the way up to the 90s, the art of making âbadâ movies was something that was much prevalent in the filmmaking industry. To the point where it became practically its own genre. Nowadays, with the accessibility of high tech filmmaking in every day devices, itâs verges on the brink of being a lost art form.Â

Next thing you know, you have an unfeeling female automation stalking you. Particularly, one who seems to possess a will to terminate you and with a tenacity that's so relentless, you'd almost swear she was an ex-girlfriend or somethin' (...that is, an ex-girlfriend who is as impervious to restraining orders as a Terminator robot who is impervious to bullets).

Personally speaking, I'm of the opinion that after a movie has been made by James Cameron, it's sequel should not be touched by any other director (with The Alien series providing as a good example).
In The Terminator "trilogy", while I believe that it's third installment didn't need to get made, it at least wasn't so bad that it completely ruined the franchise. As a stand alone sci-fi action flick, I thought it was able to hold it's own. As part of the franchise, though it is nowhere near as good as the first two, and depending on one's mood during it's viewing (it can easily be regarded as forgettable), it's story at least manages to run alongside with the that of it's predecessors, without diminishing their impact of greatness in the sci-fi world. It's serves it's purpose to just be a period at the end of a really great statement.
Which, As Terminator: Salvation proved, is where the series should've ended for good.
 Cheaper By the Dozen is a very typical family formula flick with the kind of down-to-earth quality that is required in order to make it fit into the modern times despite having a classic core that has been done to death by now in Hollywood. It is barely enough to avoid the typical sugary distance that has desensitized the genre to audiences of the last decade or so. From my perspective, I see it is as a film that can almost be perceived as a poor man's Parenthood (another movie in Steve Martin's filmography where yet again, he plays the role of a good-natured dad).
 And even though this is a subject matter that, since the dawn of cinema, has pretty much covered the same ground over a hundred times by now, I still was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying this "story-straight out of Disney theme machine" flick. And that's a feeling I've really been able to appreciate considering how many more of these kinds of movie have splurted out of that Disney machine since CbtD, none of which, I thought was worth seeing.Â
 I don't know if it's because of the aforementioned domestic duo of Martin and Hunt that warms my heart in the corny way that these family features are designed for, or if some kind of chemistry quality that the oversized kid cast of siblings evoke, or just simply because this is an example of a fixed formula done so right that it is a demonstration of why the formula became a formula in the first place. All I know is that when this Dozen was done, the intended family friendly feeling had hit its target right on the mark with me. Never had a such a movie filled with so much milquetoast make me feel, all at the same time, so warm, so fuzzy and so cheap.Â

 BTW, before anyone out there reading this raises a finger to point at me and accuse me of being maasively mushy, I should mention that I am very proud to declare that this is the only movie that I have ever watched that features Ashton Kutcher in it.
 But at the turn of the millennium, it was Will Farrell's turn. Even though he was featured as a secondary character in a few previous films, he hadn't reached headline status until this film, Old School, and he wasn't even in the headline role. Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson shared top billing, but the promoters of this film had by now recognized Will's start status and pushed his name in the marketing for this movie.
 Farrell sort of followed in Chris Farley's footsteps in that it seemed as though he was willing to do just about anything in order to get a laugh, even go naked onscreen if it would get a laugh (of course, it didn't appear as extreme as Farley, but it still was a "high risk maneuver, for both the actor and the audience), which is one of the things he's remembered for in this movie.  Â
 The plot that makes up the core of Old School is basically a new school version of Belushi's iconic college classic Animal House, but with middle-aged men filling in for the renegade frat boys that JB and crew made so infamous. There is an effort somewhat to distinguish this sophomoric farce from AH, but with anti-establishment themes like going against the university dean, over-the-top the rebellious party antics, and the group of immature grown-ups performing in various competitions in order to earn some validity to their chapter, it's kind of hard to not notice this a premise that had gone through the Xerox copy machine in the hopes of landing a passing grade. And, don't get me wrong, I laughed at OS enough to give a spot on this list, but it's also that something that we've all scene before.

 It seems like these past couple of decades, if the theatres aren't full of a slew of GCI-infested blockbusters, then they're trying to cash in on a flock of usually over-the- top horrors and/or comedies. Or they're trying to promote their every-day down-to-earth dramas that are set out to make their money as Oscar bait.
 And even if a bunch of these typical formula flicks turn out to be pretty good, I usually get to the point where I start to feel the urge for something outside the realm of what is currently considered the standard genres that seem to occupy the majority of today's movie theater silver screens. As I mention in my entry for Open Range, Master and Commander is one of those films that came into my life just when I really needed a good "period" movie shot into my system and deliver to my move-enjoying ass a brief respite from the barrage of the same ol' same ol' type of cinema that Hollywood likes to continually crank out in order to make some that "mainstream money" that has kept them "fat" for so long.

 But as the years pass on and every time I give this ocean-themed adventure yet another rewatch, I get closer and closer to the conclusion that not only is it perfect as it is, but also that Finding Nemo is one of those examples of how the New Millenium was the new Golden Era of family friendly films at the cineplex.

So he decides to go to school and become both a teacher and the leader of the band. With a bunch of fourth graders.
Class is now in session.
Time to rock on.
And then to enjoy a fruit snack and a mid-afternoon nap time.

 Well, with the exception of having Once Upon a Time in their name, absolutely nothing.

 Now I'll admit that this movie is probably an example of a film that I like much more than it probably deserves to be, but I think that may be due to the fact that I was such a massive fan of Robert Rodriguez's. first film, the uber-independent feature, El Mariachi. And I wasn't the only one because not only has it become what one the most successful independent movies of all time, and not only is it a massive cult favorite, but also, It's one of my favorite indie films of all time. Therefore, when I heard that Robert was going to do a sequel, but this time, he would be armed with the kind of budget that most aspiring directors could only dream of having, which in turn would attract some pretty big-name superstars. such as Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp, Selma Hayek, but in turn, it became my most anticipated film for 2003. So, when I went to go see it on its opening weekend, I was watching it through some heavily fan biased goggles. So, when it was over, I came out of the theater thoroughly satisfied and with a very slanted opinion that this would truly be one of the best action-adventure films of the year. But if i was going to be really honest with myself, I would have to admit that there really isn't all that much to the plot of this particular Once Upon A Time "saga" other than it's just a buncha good-looking people doing really bad-ass things (which, around the time of this movie, is when I first noticed that this a typical habit of most Robert Rodriguez films).
 But this guilty admission isn't enough to make me not enjoy the stylish manner in which the characters are presented in this massive missive of Mexican mayhem, and the way the all-out action unapologetically unfolds. Because, for me, it's still a connected to the El Mariachi Trilogy, no matter how clumsy that connection may be. On the surface level, sure, it does sometimes come off as if there was more to the story than first meets the eye. But there was still enough manly-sized escapist entertainment for me to enjoy it as the solid, entertaining thrill-ride from just south of the border that it is.
 Now, for me, this is a good metaphor that fits here for this entry because there a bit of slight at hand involved. Because from where I'm standing, this is an example of one of those pretty good movies that I genuinely believed had the potential to be a really great movie. And that's the path I saw it taking when it started. It all has to do with the father-daughter chemistry between Nicolaus Cage and Alison Lohman that is at the very heart of this grift-driven melodrama. In my opinion, that was a relationship that worked so well in the manner that it unfolded, particularly on an emotional level, and which seemed to flow so naturally, that from my point of view, it became a case of an onscreen daddy/daughter relationship that worked too well. As a result, I had a hard time buying that what eventually would happen to Nick's character would've been something that his experience as a seasoned confidence man, would've made very difficult for him to fall for, especially in the manner that he did (I apologize if this all sounds a bit vague, but that's because I fear that if I mention too much more here, I'll be unable to avoid a spoiler).
 Because of this, it made the jolt of the twist ending just a tiny bit too hard to swallow. At least, in a way that kept this otherwise worthy flim-flam effort from receiving a higher entry on this list.Â
 I won't say any more about MM because, as I already mentioned, the more I type, the greater the potential for possible spoilers. And when it comes to the descriptions and critiques that I write about these movies, I don't want anyone who reads my lists to approach them with any lack of "confidence" between us.Â


 Here's a remake of a classic British caper film that is widely considered one of the best pieces of cinema to ever have come from over there across the pond. In the process of updating The Italian Job, it removes pretty much all the Britishness that defined the original (the only real English slant that come out of this production is from Jason Stratham's dialogue, who's role really is just one in a group of co-starring characters) and thus prevents this version from rising to the high level of legendary status that the first Job has achieved.
That doesn't mean that this new Italian heist isn't a good movie. It definitely is. It's just that, when it's over. what we're left with is a very solid high action-action escapist thrill-ride that was fun to watch while it lasted, but once the credits start to roll, you're not going to be engaging into too many discussions with any fellow film fans on the internet about happened this movie's place in the in the history of the industry.
 Now, don't get me wrong, I'm saying that all movies should be leaving some kind of definitive mark on the genre that it's based on. But the truth is, if you're gonna make a remake of a classic, shouldn't the aim to be somehow surpass, or at the very least, match the original's intention?
 But the New Millenium's Italian Job is what it is, and it's still a fun ride, especially if any fans of the Mini-Cooper automobile. Featuring a semi-all-start cast, it is led Mark Wahlberg, an actor who IMO, is usually there just to fill a roll, and nothing much else. I think the premise here could either take him or leave him, and shines brightest whenever more talented fare such as Ed Norton or Donald Sutherland are the screen (with Mr. Sutherland's presence being cut way too short, occupying only about the first fifteen minutes at the beginning). The rest of the talent here serve mostly as Mark' Funky Bunch and are a good example of a stable of character actors who do their jobs pretty effectively of filling up the spaces in-between all of the heist stuff.Â
 Well worth a watch whenever you wanna just kill some time with some clever albeit questionable thieving dynamics, sprinkle with some really fun high octane car chases and what not.Â

 True love knows no bounds.
 Even in the midst of an intergalactic war with a buncha Martians (in this case, they are particular type of Martian known as "Tarsians"),
this movie shows that as long as you've got a cell phone, a good distance carrier and a hell of alot patience,
long distance relationships can work.
 And as most of us who've been stuck in a short distance relationship for awhile know,
 sometimes, the idea of flyin' around in space in cool manga tech-gear and battling a buncha aliens, light years away from Earth, sounds alot like heaven.
 This one wasn't able to achieve the level of success, critically or commercially, that was required to make itself into a franchise, but I think it did okay. Sure, it may not have pulled off the most groundbreaking grift that has been devised seen for the cinema, but it worked well enough to hit its mark. So, at this point, I think I'm realizing that I may be a little biased in my opinion of Confidence, since I'm such a big fan of the flim-flam film genre, but I honestly believe that the plot here is one that features a scam that is able to keep its characters on its toes, and the way this weaves through the dynamics of its story's shell game, that it all adds up into a movie that is full of a  cadre of culprits who move through the caper with enough confidence to make its complicated components colorfully convincing and most importantly of all, thoroughly entertaining to sit through.

Could you feel the idea and use of special effects in the entire sci-fi genre take a major step forward?
I know I did.

Which, literally, in the english language, translates into "Sharks Bite Divers".
Which in shark language probably translates into something more like "Om Nom Nom".


 When it comes to the motion picture industry, it seems like every decade has a "King of Comedy" that takes over the comedy genre for a period of time then always get replaced in the following decade. For example, in the 1980's, Robin Williams came along and took the throne that Peter Sellers sat in during the 70's. In the 90's, Jim Carrey was handed the crown from Williams. Then, in the first decade of the New Millenium, the new ruler was Will Farrell. And as the new emperor, Will inherited all the perks that come with his "reignship", which included being given dibs to any new major releases that Hollywood wanted to push as being a new classic.Â
 Elf is the kind of film that once you hear of it, the most immediate response is "Hocum no one ever thought of this before?". Based on its premise, it seems to have all the basic ingredients that are required in making a Christmas classics, the kind that end becoming perennial favorites on the TV. That's something that everyone involved in the production of a film dreams of.... a movie that will become such a part of the Yuletide tradition, that is ensures a continuous income for many years to come. It's the kind of gold strike that comes along only once time in a million. For Farrell himself, this was a ship that came in for him just as was reaching the top of the heap. Luckily, he was able to use this as a vehicle to validate his position as a humorous Hollywood heavyweight by fitting very comfortably into the role of an elf who finds out that his elfin roots are a lot shorter than even the height of his colleagues. It's his presence that enhances this story as an engaging heart warmer of a holiday tale in which Santa's largest little helper journeys out to the big city to discover that as an elf in the North Pole, he might be unusually big, but out in the real world, he's still got a lot of growing up to do.
 A hell of a lot.
 For the rest of the major players involved, this was a project that seemed to be written in the stars for them. James Caan, despite his legendary status, had a career that seemed to be sputtering at the time. So that by the time of Elf, he was due a mainstream hit that was able to home in on the statesman stature that he now embodied.Â
 Jon Favreau came in and brought his love for old TV holiday standbys into the mix, which helped to give Elf the kind of Christmasy feel that brings back viewers every year. By filling in as the manic pixie dream girl slot, Zooey Deschanel was able to take a break from her slightly quirky character roles that she was known for and make herself more visible to a more mainstream audience. And the same can be said by the other names who rounded out the cast and had only a limited fanbase that based on the particularity of their specific persona-themed craft (Amy Sedaris, Kyle Glass, and Artie Lange). Even old timers like Ed Asner and Bob Newhart came in and fit into their roles of Santa and head elf as though the roles were created specifically for them.
 At the end of it all, Elf is a work that has all the right ingredients, mixed with in perfect measurements, to make this the kind of Yuletide perennial that stands out on its own without compromising too much on those specific elements that will allow it to be enjoyed by many generations to come.Â

Starring an actor whom's body of work I really like, William H. Macy.
For me, he's one of those actors that seems to make more right decisions than bad when it comes to choosing a part in a film.
And while it's always cool to see him in any movie no matter how small the role, when he's the lead character, it's usually even cooler.


 Goodbye Lenin! is the story of a young east German citizen whose mother, after suffering from a serious stroke, holds on to her fragile sanity with the delusional belief that East Germany is still separated from its evil capitalistic western twin. And in order to spare her from any more emotional grief, her son, along with the daughter, finds himself performing daily acts of deceptions to keep her believing that. GL is the kind of story that demonstrates the ability of a movie to be able to depict the sign of the times of a particular time period and use its plot as a way to capture the attitudes and emotional feelings that can develop when the common people affected by those times have no choice but try to deal with whatever coping methods are available at their disposal.
 Centered with an ingenious idea that runs the gamut of emotions in a quaint yet impactful manner, GL is a 2003 "tragicomedy" set in late 1989/early 1990 that skillfully dances twixt the tragedy and the comedy that gives the rarely used cinematic term its name.


Many years earlier, I watched a movie called Heavy Metal. And though it lacked the technical and story skills required to make it something really worth mentioning, I did see in it a potential for an interesting anthology series whose rock'roll/sci-fi/animated integrated format was bound by neither PC rules or those that result from the kid-targeted genre.
Then came the Animatrix and showed us (well...me, at least) what that potential could look like.

  However, as great as the material for The Lord of the Rings is, for me, this series suffered from what I always thought the problem would be of trying to condense such a full and detailed storyline into three movies. So much can be filled within the pages of three novels, that when the story is put onscreen, it can easily end up leaving a lot areas for the viewer to fill in. Certain ideas seem to almost come out of nowhere since there was almost no room in the span of the three filmed chapters to introduce them, which left these ideas to be trimmed down to almost just being a hint that a viewer needed to catch and then "do the math" in their own head.
Â

  The lack of room also prevented the series from establishing any background or depth to any of the antagonists and thus create the kind of hatability towards the villains (Gollum seem to come closest in this trilogy) that is essential to these grand scale good vs evil sagas. Now don't get me wrong, they're kick-ass looking villains and the concepts behind them are fantastic, but because so much is trying to be fit in the limited space of the running times, it doesn't feel to me like anyone one can really jump up and down when the good guys ultimately beat 'em.
  There are more problems that I noticed as I watched each installment of the LotR's, but I don't want to give the impression that any of these quibbles were enough to take my enjoyment of the franchise. I only bring them up because one of the elements that make good fantasy style stories is the complicated dynamics that are needed in order to make these make-believe worlds engaging to the more adult oriented fans who enjoy this kind of stuff. And as the world of entertainment evolves more and more towards the streaming side of content availability, it seems like the genre of sword & sorcery is one that may go hand in hand with this type of service that "binging" has become so closely associated with. Â
  None of that will diminish what was accomplished with adapting The Lord of the Rings onto the medium of film. These are still great motion pictures that will endure the test of time. Seeing dragons and giant spiders come to life in the manner that they were always meant to, magic being blasted with the power to awe, not to mention, giant sword and sorcery war scenes with a sweeping and mythological epic quality that used to be incomprehensible for the cinema in earlier years make up for any sacrifice that was made in order to be able to fit all this stuff onto the silver screen.
 And they will always have a place not just in my heart, but also, a spot on my lists of favorite movies.Â
After watching how his downfall came about in this film,
I've decided to come clean now and admit to all of you reading this That I also have been making up everything that I've posted on this site.
Everything I've written is all a sham.
So, y'know....
There you go.

And even though this is basically just a film about a guy talking, what he talks about is pretty damn fascinating. Covering everything from his years during the New Camelot presidency, moving into the Vietnam War, and eventually leading to his vision of enlightening philosophy and overall outlook on American politics.

Although, when you think about it, there aren't too many situations anywhere on Earth where "touching a void" would be considered recommendable.


Is it possible to watch a tale of a family that struggles to make their dreams come true without it seeming too corny? Or to watch 'em suffer personal traumas that bind 'em with friends from completely different worlds that doesn't come off as formulaic? Or is it possible to watch a film where they try to come to terms with life's hard curveballs in a manner that will make you laugh and cry but without having to worry about embarrassingly getting a face bloated with the snotty tears of over-sentimentality?
In a word,
yes.
But only In America.
I remember that when I went to go see Open Range, after watching so many films at the time, which while on average were pretty good, were still of the standard genres that seem to occupy the majority of screens in theatres these days,
So when a "period piece" like a good solid western comes into my life, it tends to feel like a good shot into my movie-viewing system,
pard'ner.


The main reason I like this movie is because it's alot like Dances With Wolves.
Except, instead of wolves, it's with a buncha samurais.
And instead the ol' West, it's the ol' East.
Of course.
Sword infested back-in-the-day Feudal Japan versus the machine-gun laden power of the New World.

I had heard of Zatoichi, but never bothered looking up anything about this long-lasting character of the East. I stumbled on this DVD, and found myself enjoying it so much, that the end result was multiple viewings with no diminishment in enjoyment. The movie, just like the series of an earlier time, follows the latest adventure of a mystery traveler commonly referred to as the "blind masseuse", who in actuality is a gentle samurai warrior who's lone wolf journeys could've well been the inspiration of the Italian counter-part, "Man With No Name" of spaghetti western fame. Silent, noble and despite his blindness, the ability to see with more clarity, not just the world around him, but also the will and intentions contained within the hearts of all he encounters.
A great classic character of the Japanese tradition.


Old St. Nick as a drunken, thieving, waste of a man who has a thing for big booty babes.
In other words;
Best.
Santa.
Movie.
Ever.

Directed by the daughter of a godfather of cinema, this movie is a perfect example of being able to do so much with so little.
The simple story of two lost souls from two different generations who's dashed hopes and aimless directions lead them to find within each other a quiet and shared longing for connection through acceptance, love and understanding.
Lost in Translation features one of my favorite endings of all time, not because it's a twist or any kind of explosive revelation, but simply because it relies one hundred percent on human emotion. An emotion that is evoked with a whisper so private and silent to the ears but oh so loud and clear to the heart.


Speaking as someone who has worked the majority of his life as an illustrator and cartoonist, I was surprised at how close this flick was to the specific style of drawing that got me interested in the field to begin with. Gritty yet beautifully rendered, cartoonishly exaggerated yet realistically animated. I could look at artwork like this all day.
Plus, even though it is a foreign film, it has no dialogue in it, at all. And therefore, no need for sub-titles. So if some bizarre accident occurs (heaven forbid, of course) whereby that part of your brain that's responsible for reading becomes inexplicably cancelled out, you'll still be able to watch and enjoy this flick.


 "Here comes the Bride,
  all dressed in white,
   dum dee dee da dum,
  here comes the Bride...."

 Quentin Tarantino is notorious for his love for campy and genre specific cinema. Which includes all those super-cheesy chop socky style martial arts films that filled local and smaller channels on television sets during the 1970's. So, it was no surprise when he set about to create his own version of such a film, but with a much more modern theme and setting. Kill Bill is a pastiche of those kooky kung fu fllicx that QT obviously grew up watching, and it's a tour de force of campy karate with elements of anime style animation, exploitation era filmmaking and even some spaghetti western sprinkled in, for good measure.Â
 But the most impressive aspect of this epic sized lone warrior piece de resistance is how its monomaniacal writer/director was able to incorporate all the silly, goofy and exaggerated tropes of the B-level film genres that inspired it into a very "real" and serious story of a mother who is hellbent on revenge on those who caused the death of her unborn baby. Beatrix Kiddo, the "Bride" in question, is portrayed by Uma Thurman in a manner that we are usually accustomed to seeing in more Earthbound dramas, despite that Beatrix's station in life is more of that of a comic book superhero than a real-life mom who has been wrong.
 A demonstration of how good this movie is, after the producers at Miramax Films saw just long the story was, in most other cases, they would have requested that the director trimmed it down into a more manageable time frame for a single movie. However, seeing that cutting any of it out would most definitely require eliminating some really great scenes that were all essential to the flow of the plot, they instead elected to cut the entire thing into two volumes. Which was a good decision considering how they were to make more profit from the box office by turning one film into two, but also, helped Kill Bill to garner the kind of cult following that was often the result of the more budget restricted films that were the basis of Tarantino's vision.Â
 A cult following of which I'm a member of. And as one who doesn't often subscribe to such cults when it comes to entertainment, that is just one of the many reasons why it's at the top of this list of my favorite films of 2003.

Swords, swords, swords.
With Kill Bill, Zatoichi, The Last Samurai, TRotK, Matrix Reloaded, followed along with The Animatrix,
the word for this year is swords.
Although, with films like return Of The King, Bourne and , it's also a year of threequels.
