I'm back..and this time it's impersonal. Wait, that's the same as the other times!

It’s been a long time since I posted on this. Was that due to my busy life? Nah, basically I had a rotten flu and the only film I’ve seen recently was Saw VI, and this is not something I find easy to talk about. To be fair, it is definitely better than Saw V but only in the way that shitting out a regular turd is better than shitting one filled with sweet corn. Despite the overall crumminess of the entire ordeal the Carousel trap was rather inventive and the ending a little bit better than the film deserved. Roll on Saw VII (subtitle, Endgame Part V probably). Anyway I’m back with some banter, and a more conclusive view on my Top whatever amount I decide upon films of the decade.
The end of the decade is rolling upon us and with it comes a cinematic revolution. Of course I’m talking about James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ which is set to kick-start the takeover of 3d as the chosen cinematic experience. Will it really matter if the film ends up being a complete crock of shit? I imagine not but I just hope that 3d remains a choice rather than something that is forced upon everyone because no matter how cool seeing something like ‘Transformers’ or ‘Avatar’ in an extra dimension will be would you really want to have a similar experience for ‘Vera Drake’ or some such similar slow burning drama?
Anyway as far as the list goes there’s a more solid feel to it but there’s still far more than 20. Up next will be re-watching’s of ‘Let The Right One In’ and ‘Cloverfield’ to assess their merits for top 20-ness. Chat soon my invisible audience.
Oh and as a note, the documentary of the decade is definitely ‘When The Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts.’ It may well have topped my list but sadly it premiered on HBO before a cinematic release but I recommend it, in fact I demand you see it. For those of you that don’t know what it’s about it tells the story of the lead up and aftermath to Hurricane Katrina, the storm that devastated New Orleans. Spike Lee directs and shows true intelligence and rare restraint as he just sticks the camera in front of the participants and lets them tell the full story. It makes you wonder about the governments real motives in their own country and more than that it highlights the true beauty of the human spirit. And on that gay sentence I say adios.
