"Critical boners" is one of those wonderfully colorful yet dreadfully underused phrases that I'm trying to bring back into the forefront of common vernacular.

I'll check it out.<BR/><BR/>--Also surprised about Jesse James, with such poor reviews out there.<BR/><BR/>--I forgot about Zodiac, but I'd agree. Great flick.<BR/><BR/>--I cry as every day passes that I haven't seen There Will Be Blood.<BR/><BR/>--I agree on the incredible tracking shot in Atonement. It's my favorite shot of the year, and it just follows the amazing long shot at the end of Children of Men for my all time favorite long shot.<BR/><BR/>--We (Darick and I) left Before the Devil Knows You're Dead very angry we had spent our money, and I had been thrilled to see it. PSH and EH were fantastic, as was that great scene when PSH goes to his drug dealer's place for the first time. Other than that--I say blech.<BR/><BR/>--I think ya'll underrated Eastern Promises. Yowsah.<BR/><BR/>--I also feel like Sunshine is notably missing. Though I could be mixing my emotions with the quality of the film...it's in my top three.<BR/><BR/>You guys are the coolest.<BR/><BR/>Curly-haired Emily from WebsterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634886419866749682.post-18721637885977557592008-01-21T20:34:00.000-05:002008-01-21T20:34:00.000-05:00I wonder though on the points...3 of the 4 first p...I wonder though on the points...3 of the 4 first places should probably give it the #1, as I was the only one who didn't think it was the best. In forensics rankings, if you get the majority of first place votes then you get the win no matter what. Just some thoughts. I'm really glad you did that list...very interesting.James Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650436008918093617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634886419866749682.post-68818088651715691342008-01-21T20:31:00.000-05:002008-01-21T20:31:00.000-05:00Excellent!

A film given a #1 ranking gets 10 pts and a film with a #10 ranking gets 1 pt, etc.<BR/><BR/>Here's what I came up with as a collective Top 5.<BR/><BR/>1. There Will Be Blood - 34 pts<BR/>2. No Country For Old Men - 33 pts<BR/>3. Michael Clayton - 18 pts<BR/>4. The Wind That Shakes the Barley/Zodiac (tie) - 13 pts<BR/>5. The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford - 12 ptsBrandon Colvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373364966092756041noreply@blogger.com
