Ebert & Roeper - Best of 2003

Ebert's list: 1. Monster 2. Lost in Translation 3. American Splendor 4. Finding Nemo 5. Master and Commander: The Far Side of The World 6. Mystic River 7. Owning Mahowny 8. The Son 9. Whale Rider 10. In America Roeper's list: 1. In America 2. Mystic River 3. Lost in Translation 4. 21 Grams 5. Elephant 6. The Barbarian Invasions 7. The Station Agent 8. Whale Rider 9. Monster 10. Seabiscuit The format was changed this year, to the detriment of the program in my opinion. They each breeze through the lists in their entirety rather than discuss selected titles at further length, leaving less room for analysis and less cross-talk. Both guys otherwise seem impatient and I'm left with the impression that this taping was rushed.
