10. Garden State |
|
|
|
Zack Braff's impressively confindent feature film debut as director and writer(he also starred), is so low low-key and ironic that it's power and message (somewhat muted by a rushed yet warm ending), may not resonate on the first viewing. What does resonate is his gift for deadpan visual comedy and several noteworthy performances, especially from Natalie Portman (who is becoming a wonderful actress) and Peter Sarsgaard (who turns the typical comic-relief stoner buddy into a layered and complex character). Given time, this will be a classic. |

In the most entertaining, accessible, and well-made documentary of the year, Morgan Spurlock, who is not only the subject of the film, but also the director and star, manages to make us think twice about eating fast food by providing an unbiased, well-meaning and ultimately convicing damnation of McDonalds. The results of his month-long McDonald's diet will not only make you laugh and/or crindge, but they will also make you reconsider what you should eat in your own life.An important film of the millennium. |

8. Team America: World Police |
|
|
|
Everyone without a good sense of humor is sure to be offended by Matt Stone and Trey Parker's marrionette-starring action spoof/political satire, but those who don't mind puppet sex, or unbelieveable doses of profanity, will see that it's not only the funniest movie of the year, but also one of the smartest. By making fun of both liberal and conservative ideas, Matt and Trey manage to put the idiotic attitudes of both sides into light and come up with a concluding speech ("D***s also F*** A***holes") that should be put in history books. |
