 Movie magic is back
Movies that captured the imagination
By Robert K. Elder
Tribune Staff Reporter
1. "Brokeback Mountain"
2. "The 40 Year-Old Virgin"
3. "Batman Begins"
4. "The Constant Gardener"
5. "Kung Fu Hustle"
6. "Broken Flowers"
7. "King Kong"
8. "Murderball"
9. "Grizzly Man"
10. "Serenity" -- OK, so I'm letting my freak flag fly here. But Joss Whedon's sublime sci-fi mini-epic gives his groundbreaking "Firefly" television series a proper sendoff.
Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") marshals his cast of outlaws to take on an intergalactic government tinkering with human DNA. The end result is a shocking (not everyone makes it out alive), pulse-pounding space thriller that puts a brick on the gas pedal, then dares you to jump out the airlock.
Mr. Whedon, sir, may we have another?
Honorable mentions: "Layer Cake," "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill," "A History of Violence," "Sin City," "Good Night, and Good Luck," "Me and You and Everyone We Know," and "Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior."
