#22 "Transporter 3"



Well i think that photo just about sums it up. Statham is shirtless in about every scene of this movie. I found this film to be a bit disappointing. It had some great stunts (the car driving sideways between the semis was awesomely ridiculous) but the editing was atrocious. The fight scenes were so quick-cut that for the first time ever I started getting a bit of motion sickness during a movie. I've heard people complain about that before (Blair Witch and Cloverfield) and I always thought it a bit ridiculous, now I understand. Eventually the movie gets bogged down with a forced romance between Statham and the female lead. In the past two films when there wasn't action they at least kept you interested, here you just get bored and irritated. I predicted that Jason Statham would sweep the Oscars with Death Race. Now I am convinced, because this film offers no challenge.

#21 Sigur Ros "Heima"



I caught this at a local film festival. Its a documentary following the Icelandic band Sigur Ros on its impromptu tour of its homeland following its 2006 world tour. It plays as a long music video moving from town to town each one being represented by one song with interviews in between towns with the touring band members. During the songs the film juxtaposes between live footage of the band and shots of the town and the Icelandic countryside. Its interesting but lacks enough high tempo songs to keep up the energy.
