Sorry Luc

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2006)

It is a bitter sweet day for me. Today I witnessed the fall from the number one place on my list by an unbelievable film by an unbelievable film maker: Leon: The Professional by Luc Besson.
I say bitter sweet, because as bitter as the step down is for me, and as reluctant as I am to make the decision, it is with overwhelming joy I do so.
"Stranger Than Fiction," written by Zach Helm, directed by Marc Forster, and starring Will Farrell, Emma Thompson, and Dustin Hoffman, is the greatest movie of the decade, at least, hands down. From beginning to end, I was entranced by the visionary direction and timeless writing. "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" may be the "Lawrence of Arabia" and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" of my generation, but "Stranger Than Fiction" is the "It's A Wonderful Life."
