BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR (SO FAR...)


1) DISTRICT 9 by Neill Blomkamp. Science fiction at its very best by a remarkable talent.
2) RED CLIFF by John Woo. The master is back at his roots.
3) TROOPER (not released yet) by Chris Martini. A powerful indie movie about a Trooper returning home. Written, directed, edited and starring Chris Martini, this is one of the most remarkable debuts in recent years. Method actor Gary Swanson (pictured here with Chris Martini at the "CELL" in NYC at the film's very successful screening)steals the show pulling out the most natural perfomance in recent years. Great acting. Eddie Manley also makes a big impression.
