Re: Best and Worst Films of 2005

I just watched the 40 Year Old Virgin last night and it was damn funny. Easily one of my favorite movies of the year. The other movie I really liked (probably even more than my kid) was Wallace and Gromit: Return of the Were Rabbit.

For bad movie, I don't know. I don't really watch enough movies to make such judgements. Although I do have a special hatred for Just Friends. They filmed the movie about half a block from my house last year and it was a freakin gong show.

8) The Interpreter - Haven't seen it (doesn't look that great)
7) Monster In Law - Haven't seen it (don't plan to either)
6) War of the Worlds - Seen it (wasn't too bad - I don't think enough people actually understood the ending)
5) Constantine - Seen it (Liked it - don't ask me why, but I thought the visuals in this movie were very cool and even though the plot was weak, it was also unique)
4) The Island - Haven't seen it
3) Star Wars Episode III - Seen it (liked it - the best of the first 3 episodes by far)
2) Just Like Heaven - Haven't seen it
1) Must Love Dogs - Haven't seen it (WTF is it?)

Re: Best and Worst Films of 2005

I also have to note that my taste in movies is different from many. In my view, the "action" genre is out of gas, and the "cop buddy" movie should be banned. When it comes to movies that rely on chase sequences and explosions, its all been done already, and likely better in the 80s.

I like original ideas and movies that make you think. I like comedy that pushes boundaries.

I agree.
But I'd add that comedy that pushes boundaries doesn't necessarily mean trying to be 'grosser' than last weeks 'gross out' movie.
In some shows (40 year old Virgin, for example) tasteless can be hilarious. But in others, tasteless is just tasteless.

Like Tom Green jacking off a horse? I agree......some things are just stupid and tasteless for no reason.

Re: Best and Worst Films of 2005

i agree with you on the War of the Worlds one, it was an okay ending IMO, and must love dogs, it's a chick flick, havent seen it, dont intend on doing so.

and for Fantastic Four...how did you think that was good??

Re: Best and Worst Films of 2005

what was wrong with it?

the story was good (didn't deviate too too much from the comic - go to space bombarded by cosmic rays).....the casting was pretty good.....effects were good......

Re: Best and Worst Films of 2005

Worst: Nik Spewis' 'all star highlight reel'
Best: 2005 Grey Cup



Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of the 'Best' for me.
