It's really in a totally different class than the other films. Yeah, it's the worst of them (except for Emily Rose). If you're saying that, i'm not sure you even saw it. Seriously. How could you say Amityville Horror is better than it? That's ridonkulous. Um, are you kidding? Feel free to go to the Reviews forum and read all the reviews I have up for the nominated films. I gave TDR a B-. Great effort, trying to get ot the raw 70s style, but the story was very lacking. Trying to be so "twisted" by making the audiences sympathize with the Rejects is not worth applauding. He wasn't trying to make the audience sympathize with the Rejects. He wanted you to see both of their sides as a family, and make you think about it. If you sympathized with them, great. If not, great.

I only gave one vote in this category, which was to 2046.
Saw Kung Fu & Downfall. Didn't think either was too snazzy.

Downfall should definitely own this one.

How many votes did Walk on Water get? Like half a vote or something, so it got a nod by default.

YAYAYAYAYAY WALK ON WATER AND DOWNFALL! Congrats to Hustle, Hiss on Oldboy for kicking Cache off the list, which I'm sure was the runner up, and 2046 is, like, so 2003.

Oldboy's a great concept let down by a terrible second half. Downfall's duller than dishwater.
Everyone should vote for Kung Fu Hustle!
