Most disappointing: Shopgirl

Worst: Bewitched. BARF. Besides being a piece of crap, it had a joke about Hepatitis C, really funny.

Saw 2 (Incredible)
Wedding Crashers
The 40 Year Old Virgen
Skeleton Key
Red Eye
High Tension (BEST HORROR FLICK OF THE YEAR)

I fell asleep. A thoroughly vacuous affair that thing was. Gilliam needs to take another long vacation. I hear "Tideland" is an even bigger turkey, unfortunately.

I cannot imagine how you can fall asleep at a film that apeals so much to all your senses.

Maybe I am more sensible??

Maybe you're more easily entertained.

It didn't appeal to anything of mine. I thought it was crap. One giant mess of a movie. Lazy script, hamfisted acting, flat jokes, and lacking almost everything that makes Gilliam a good filmmaker. No wonder it was shelved for two years and then finally dumped at the end of summer with all the other turkeys by Miramax before the Weinstein's took off.

I liked Sin City I thought Mickey Rourke was fantastic!

I was thinking "I didn't see that many movies this year" and then I read everyone's lists. I guess I did see a few. A couple of these were actually released in '04, but it took me a while to get to them.

I liked:

Sin City
Upside of Anger
Empire Falls
Crash
Before Sunset
Garden State
Wedding Crashers (didn't love it the first time, but saw it again at the drive-in as part of a double feature & LMAO)
Eternal Sunshine...
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (that's right)
That movie I rented with Joan Allen & Sam Elliot (help me out here, Diss, I can't remember the name of it to save my life...)


Disappointments:

Skeleton Key
The Ring 2 (that scene with the deer in the woods had me giggling. WTF?)
Bewitched
Fever Pitch

I just found this site when trying to find out when Wedding Crashers is being released on DVD (1/3/06, btw.) I like knowing when to expect things.

My favorite 2005 movie was a movie called "Hana To Alice." It shook me to my very bowels.
