There's plenty I'm dying to see, but at the moment I'm excited for a Richard Linklater banner year: A Scanner Darkly and Fast Food Nation.

A Scanner Darkly is tops for me too. I'm looking forward to X-Men 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Pulse (although I'm equally dreading it), The Beast, I Kill, V for Vendetta, Lady in the Water (curse your brilliant potential, M Night!), Rendezvous With Rama, 30 Days of Night, The Woods, Bag of Bones, Slither, Conan: Red Nails, Silent Hill, Unknown White Male, and Fragile.

Dreading: The Fly remake (no wait, it'll actually be better than Cronenberg's, 'cause the Fly flies!)

One comedy I am looking forward to is: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Stars Will Ferrell and it looks to be funny, hope it comes through.

Oh, yeah. Snakes on a Plane. I'm really looking forward to it, but I have to wonder: Do you really need a movie to go with a title like that?

It's been playing in Milwaukee for a few weeks already, but I still haven't seen Cache (Hidden). My other must-see is the Dardennes brothers' L'Enfant.

I'll add Lady in the Water, too, despite my growing disillusionment with Shyamalan's work. I'm rooting for the guy.

The Loft and Bug's House, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's next two horror films. The second is only relatively short, but I'm eager nonetheless.

Rinne, Takashi Shimizu's instalment in the J-Horror Theatre series. He also has The Grudge 2 and hopefully Parasyte (both English-language) coming out in 2006, and I'm keen to see both, but I doubt either of them will be as interesting as Rinne.

The Visiting, Oliver Hirschbiegel's English-language debut.

The Fragile, Balaguero's next. On Spanish DVD next week!

Ah, Snakes on a Plane...

You just have to respect a film that had a re-shoot to include the line:

"I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane."

add united 93 to your lists of films to see. paul greengrass is a truly remarkable filmmaker. i could find fault with almost nothing. maybe i'll need to see it a second time to disect it, but it was truly one of the better made studio films i've seen in years.
