"And the best film of the year so far..."

.. is Finding Nemo.

However I don't even think Nemo's crew will be able to keep that title from what is seemingly going to be one of the best films ever - Return of the King.

'That wasn't funny. And I know funny. I'm a clown fish!'

Kill Bill and Finding Nemo.

Oh, thought it was only two weeks run, I'll have to find out which version they're showing and how much it is to get in.

Bell - It's still on at the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham.

Till the end of the month.

That's the thing with anime, I tend to go for stuff which I read about and think sounds interesting as opposed to just going for whatever happens to be popular. I don't care much for being some kind of film buff, I just want to watch them.

No actually, considered it on Region 1 but I really prefer region 2 discs when possible and it'll be out on region 2 in sub/dub versions early next year. Some films just work better with japanese audio and english subs, others (rarely) work better with english dubbing. Apparently a cinema in Notts had it on but didn't bother advertising it much so I missed it.

One of my favourites this year has to be Voices Of A Distant Star (only 28mins long), followed by Wonderful Days, followed by Patlabor WXIII, Ah My Goddess The Movie and Grave Of The Fireflies.

So you've seen Spirited Away then, yes?

The only films I can remember having seen at the cinema this year are;

Matrix Reloaded
Tomb Raider Cradle Of Life
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Pirates of the Caribbean
Dreamcatcher
X Men 2

Which means the rest were so mediocre they made little to no impression on me. Despite the creative licence that's been slightly used I'd rate the new Lord Of The Rings films the best of recent times as far as "epic" movies go. Far better than the new Star Wars cack Lucas has been spooning out.

Of the six above films I'd rate Matrix Reloaded the best despite it's inferiority to the original, but to my mind the other five aren't exactly long term classics.

I'm actually enjoying anime films more and more this year, no mass advertising trying to sell them, plenty of choice, different styles, music, kinds of plot, genre, and very few people arguing the merits of them to each other.

Haven't seen alot of films this year besides Nemo, PotC and Reloaded.
At the moment its PoTc, then Nemo and then Reloaded, just hope Revolutions is more interesting than Reloaded i was disappointed, but RotK will take the crown as film of the year without a doubt can't wait for the trilogy DVD set!

God... you take out these kind of people to a good movie and they think they're too hard for it :S
