I'm rating these as I see them, so with 25th Hour being the first film viewed this year, it will remain at the #1 spot, regardless of whether or not its my #1 favorite this year. Ratings are subject to change with repeat viewings. 5* rating system.
1. 25th Hour - **** (1/11/03)
2. Narc - **** (1/??/03)
3. LOTR: Two Towers - ***** (1/19/03)
4. Catch Me If You Can - ****1/2 (1/25/03)
I sure hope this is a good year!

Just saw "Behind The Red Door", a 2003 Showtime film. Great dramastic movie, starring one of my favorites, Kiefer Sutherland. I rate this an 8/10. Check it out on Showtime people.
