films through january
To this point in 2007, through reasons of chance or strange subjectivities, each movie sugarhigh! has seen has been worse than the last. Thus the rankings after one month, with best thing in parens:
6) Smokin' Aces (nothing)
5) Notes on a Scandal (Bill Nighy dancing)
4) Alpha Dog (Justin Timberlake in general)
3) Backstage (Isild LeBesco's facial physiognomy; plausibility of such drecky pop being huge in France)
2) Children of Men (blood on the lens for long tracking shot; Clive Owen's slumped shoulders)
1) Pan's Labyrinth (Spanish Winona Ryder; Harold & the Purple Crayon riff; title better in English)
