So you may have noticed that things look a little different around here lately. I've changed the template--a change is as good as a rest, and all that--with the result being that I hafta rebuild certain aspects of the site. However, being a world-class procrastinator and Olympic-style slacker, I haven't gotten around to that yet, so you'll hafta put up with this for now.

Over at Cinemarati's RT Nick Davis has initiated a little game we call "Name the Best Movies of the 00's" and being a sucker for such list-making endeavours, I've decided to take a shot at naming my favourite 25 films of the past five years (2000-2004). With comments to follow very soon, and without further ado, here 'tis:

1. Mulholland Dr.
2. In the Mood for Love
3. Spirited Away
4. Dogville
5. Before Sunset
6. Audition
7. Kill Bill V.1

10. O Brother Where Art Thou?
11. Talk to Her
12. Lost in Translation
13. Y Tu Mama Tambien
14. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
