No guilty pleasures
Slow news and upcoming deadlines, so here's a link to yet one more barrage of 2005 lists from yr. correspondent. "Reading about film in 2005 often came down simply to “And your point is…?” Stock journalism, pissy blogging, pack trendspotting, drippy journalism about blogging and general pessimism reigned, but in movies, there were sterling moments to spare.
"There were at least 90 movies that I liked this year out of the several hundred I saw, and probably even overlooked a couple. Here’s a provisional ten best, 20 more, and an even longer list of redeeming features or lovely passages (with some annotations). There are rundowns of best performances, documentaries, and cinematography, too. The only philosophical note: there are no guilty pleasures."
