Women in the film only existed as sex objects for the males. All the bosses were male an all the lead parts were male. Goint to watch some young men give birth to a blue fish out of their anus was not worth leaving my kids home alone. Little Dizzle was a horrible bit of misogyny.

(Hell, I forgot about "Humpday," which is definitely a fave.) That being said, "In the Loop" really struck a nerve for me. It's been a long time since I've seen political satire so efficient, dark, and hilarious. It stands out in a year of politically lazy (or outright contemptible) cinema. I doubt it'll still be at the top by year's end, but it won't be leaving the list, either. Keep in mind it’s a half-of-2009 list, and that my lists are notoriously slippery.

I really enjoyed In The Loop but my head is still spinning that Simon places this at number one. Nicely put Jon.

Shifty is my choice for film of the year so far. Barnstormingly brilliant British cinema with a director/main cast to watch out for. Proper good debut that smacks you right around the head with an audio/visual mallet. Just how it should be. In the loop at number one.. pfft.... Jack Black's speech in High Fidelity about playing it safe springs to mind.

Or at least extremely ignorant.
