quick question,
will the class and hurt locker be considered? cuz technically, i see they were 2008 films. especially the class. hurt locker, maybe the wide release thing makes it a 2009 one.


I consider both THE HURT LOCKER and THE CLASS to be 2009 films.

According to peng, who also maintains a site with over 3,000 reviews ;) James has not yet posted a mid-season film retrospective. Assuming it is done in the next week or two, what do you think the Top 10 is going to be? Be sure to make this list and your film list separate, please (although it CAN be in the same post). The first person to get it totally right gets a '+1' added to their total on the leaderboard (or they get to finally appear). Enjoy.


The halftime Top 10 is going up this week. I seriously doubt anyone will get the right order. Maybe it should be +2 for that; +1 for getting the right titles. (Even that seems unlikely - the ***1/2 ones are obvious but there are a lot of *** titles to fill out the final four places.)

Note: This is my recommendation. Evenflow has the final say whether he wants to accept it or not. He makes the rules. :)



James, this is a fair, fan-friendly idea that might actually boost poster morale.


On the other hand, it's like giving free points away if multiple people get the right top tens. I'm going to say 'nein' on this one, with all due respect - to James, of course :twisted: The rest of you, back to voting.



Now!

So, I don't think anyone could have predicted "The Uninvited". I'm just glad I got two placings correct ("My Sister's Keeper" and "The Hurt Locker").

Oh well, onto the three films!

Damn! I actually came close to including The Uninvited on my prediction list since I remember that he actually really enjoyed it way back in January.

I'm actually pretty surprised that Adventureland was #1. Didn't expect that.

Going onto the next round...


Shrunkenhead
oafolay
Patrick
Evenflow8112
peng
Ciacco
Awf Hand
ram1312
Zeppelin
ilovemovies
ed_metal_head
sjlips


Let's hope James either likes Robocop as much as most of us thinks he does, or likes it slightly less than Shrunkenhead thinks he does.


Seriously, Shrunkenhead, you know you voluntarily lost, right? Right.

Well, if I over estimated James' meaning when he called the film "brilliant". :)
