The “I Want to Go Home and Cry now please” award:
Requiem for a Dream
For making the most compelling, degrading and made-me-feel-dirty-for-having-watched-it movie of 2001.

The “Where Was Everyone?” award:
Sexy Beast.
I know 2 other people that have seen this, which is a shame when tossy old pap gets to number 1 and nobody saw Ben Kingsley go mental and swear.
A lot.
And there was an 8ft rabbit with an uzi, and Ray Winstone in bright yellow pants cooling his jewels with ice.

The “Can I Have My Money Back please” award:
Unbreakable.
Even the 2 disc DVD seems to be missing the ending. The version I have seen is where Willis walks away and 2 title cards come up. If anyone can supply the proper ending, let me know.

The “I Want To Be Able To Do That” award:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
I want to fight in treetops and fly and wield a sword and fight an old lady called Jade Fox. Although I don’t want that stupid hairstyle that Chow Yun Fat sported. Authentic, yes. But just plain silly.

The “I Really Shouldn’t Be Liking This” award:
American Pie 2.
Stupid, crude and jokes at the expense of the mentally handicapped. But damned if this wasn’t funny as hell.

The “I’ve Never Heard Of This Movie” award:
One Night At McCools.
No advertising, no box office taking.
But Liv Tyler almost naked, John Goodman dressed as a cop, and a shoot-out to “YMCA”.
And the best non-PC question of recent times:
“Which one of you…homos…killed my brother Utah?”

The “I Want to Shoot Each And Every One of You” award:
Pearl Harbour.

Good luck on that one.
I can't think of one single line from Kingsley that I would say to his face without him either punching me or just sniffing arrogantly before punching me.

Sexy Beast also wins that "Most swearing in any film ever" award.

Requiem was a brilliant film. I remember reading somewhere that it was banned, well at the cinema anyway. Which is a great shame as even the Daily Mail conceded that it was one of the best films of the year. I'm going to watch it with the commentary on tonight because Aronofsky is actually quite interesting. I watched "pi" with commentary and it's amazing how much stuff goes on behind the scenes that you don't realise. All the subway scenes in Pi were shot illegally at 3am because it was so expensive to get permission to shoot there and one time they got caught by the NYPD except Woody Allen was shooting in central park so the officer assumed they were with him.

I bought Sexy Beast on DVD and was very impressed. The funny thing is that Ben Kingsley's sons go to my school, but one of them left last year, so they get him to open new buildings and stuff like that. Basically the headmaster has seen Gandhi and now worships the ground that Ben Kingsley walks on. I'm brushing up on my Sexy Beast quotes for the next time Kingsley pops in... It does prove that he is a versatile actor though. Sexy Beast wasn't just the best gangster film of the year; it was the best British films of the year.

One Night at McCools was good too. I was left disgusted though as I had been humming a song featured in the film and I checked the credits to see who it was by, and it was A-ha.. ugh, I still shudder at the memory. It was a good film though particularly the death by wheely bin incident.
