Well now that we're safely into June and I'm feeling like a big slacker for not keeping up with the blogging, I'm going to recap my favorite films from the first five months of the year...
Best Animated Film: Up - Pixar does it again. Can`t even state how impressed i was with the animation in this flick - the texturizing was incredible. It was a story with heart and a message, and an annoying little scout boy that everyone either was, or has encountered in their life.
Best Foreign Film: Hunger - mesmerizing from start to end, this film resonates with me still, despite watching it more than two months ago. A must have for the collection. Great study in visual and auditory storytelling with an incredible and sobering performance from Michael Fassbender.
Best Horror Film: Drag Me to Hell - campy, with perfectly timed editing and sound/music cues. Even though the kitty gets it, I can still get behind this flick. Bonus: watching it at Yorkdale Mall Silvercity with all the jumpy, screaming urban teens. I'll be fair - I had sweaty palms at least a few times!
Best Summer Blockbuster: Star Trek - everything you want in a summer blockbuster - action, great effects, comedy, and (related to comedy) Simon Pegg!
Special Mentions: Stone of Destiny, Sunshine Cleaning
