It's a heartbreaker. And I love whenever Udo Kier pops up in a movie.

The Rules of Attraction? If so, hell yes.

My gosh, not a single mention of "Suzie Q" in Apocalypse Now? Shame on you all.

Honestly, I was completely unashamed of my love for Killer Joe, because I already knew I was a sick fuck. It was just nice to realize that another director understood this type of sick fuck-ness and embraced it so wholeheartedly. I've never had the sort of reaction to a movie like I had to Killer Joe. It's gonna be a

The end of Killer Joe—which is also the best movie of the year—blows every other scene this year out of the water.

It's so delightfully excessive, which, really, is the only way to tackle a film about 1970s Las Vegas. It's like a mobster soap opera in the best way. Plus it has a fucking Emmylou Harris song ("Sweet

For me, it plays like a western crossed with the Coen brothers' black humor and The Night of the Hunter (not only in the Robert Mitchum role, but also in the weird artificiality to the whole thing).

Goodfellas is definitely my pick for #1…unless you ask me on the right day, then it's Satantango. The former is a lock for the top ten, but I hope the latter makes an appearance.
