Spider-Man (Raimi, 2002)
Excellent superhero adaptation with little or no flaws; a much more unified piece of film than the sequel.

Wicker Park (McGuigan, 2004)
That might be an overly generous score, but I really liked what McGuigan and crew have done with this one. The story doesn't spiral into campy weirdness, which is what I was expecting. Instead, I got a pretty engrossing experience, a few emotionally demanding-yet-rewarding performances by some Hollywood youngsters, and a good bit of psychological thrills and spills. The plot isn't particularly believable (and there were some minor holes), but the film made up for it in other areas - like the handling of flashbacks, which is always tricky. And I like to think this film is 'picturesque' anyway: that it sorta reflects the emotional kinds of twists and turns we sometimes have to endure for the sake of love.

A Woman Under the Influence (1974 - John Cassavetes)
Great stuff. Fantastic acting, especially by Rowlands and Falk, of course. And I love Cassavetes' style, both dramatically and aesthetically. There must be some neat DVD box with his stuff that I can get.
Insomnia (1997 - Erik Skjoldbjćrg)
I haven't seen Christopher Nolan's remake with Pacino and Williams in a while but I get a feeling that the Skarsgĺrd/Pacino character was less likeable in this one, the original. The ending was less conclusive as well. In short, less commercial (without saying that Nolan's version is bad).

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Casino Royale (Campbell, 2006)
Wow. A very slick, very dynamic return to the screen for the character. Daniel Craig infuses so much life into a younger Bond -- perpetually brazen though not at all immune to screwing up. And the reduced emphasis on Bond gadgets versus real-world spy networking is a brilliant (and long overdue) move. My only complaint is that the pacing of the film began to unwravel some point after the game at the Royale, but it wasn't enough to spoil such an intense, stylish experience.
Now, off to Colonel Quick to buy a tuxedo...
