Walk the Line is fast becoming my must-see movie of the Fall. Nice to see Joaquin Phoenix finally stepping into a significant lead role with such a great character to play.

Nice to see Phoenix keep getting good roles.

The review of Walk the Line has me pencilling it in for a must see. Glad to see Reese Witherspoon back to doing good work.

walk the line a must see. this confirms it.

Had the opportunity to see Breakfast on Pluto the other day...I predict lots of magazine covers with Cillian Murphy at the end of the year as "Breakout Star of the Year." He's great (although he so becomes the part, you forget its him). This is Neil Jordan's best film in years, and one of the best so far this year.

It'd be odd seeing Cillian as the breakout star of 2005 because wasn't that 2003? 28 Days Later, Intermission, Girl With A Pearl Earring and Cold Mountain is an impressive little list for one year.

I spose now he can be considered famous or whathaveyou.

I can't wait for Reese to be nominated for an Oscar just to knock all the haters.

Murphy has only been in a few movies but he has taken diverse roles. Showing off his range. I'm expecting big things from him in the long run.

Why would you post a link to ANYTHING by Michael Wilmington? He is the single stupidest, no talent hack reviewer in the business. When he was in LA I would go to any movie he panned just because I know it was going to be good and vice versa. His writing is awful. His sentences read like chewed meat. I don't understand linking to him. He cheapens your site worse than the Munity stuff did (does?) and that says a lot.

But I'm sure he's a nice guy in person.

Mike has quirky tastes sometimes, but his knowledge of film is amongst the best in the country.

Stupid hack? Absurd.

Knowitall's name says it all, non?

Speaking of awards and the like can I just point out that Ebert (and Roeper) both really liked An Unfinished Life and Proof. So all of those who take Dave's word as gospel (er, no offence Dave) should know that others think it's actually good. So, ya know, don't cross it off yet.

i've never even heard of this wilmington character. whos he work for?

I don't take any critic as gospel. Too many like movies like Brokeback Mountain. The kinds of movies I'll never see. And too many hate movies like Caddyshack and New Jack City. Movies I'll watch 50 times.

What was wrong with Wilmington's list? Not like he went out on a limb or anything.

Isn't Caddyshack considered a classic?

And if they find a comedy that's actually good they get behind it! 40-Year-Old Virgin is the best reviewed wide release of the year or something along those lines.

Caddyshack is my favorite comedy of all time. Genuis performances all the way around in it. Spaulding!
