The best and worst of 2005

my top 10 of 2004 was this:

1. Haute Tension - perfect in every way
2. School of Rock - a joy, pure fun
3. Ong Bak - action is back
4. Save the Green Planet - best korean film ever
5. Immortel - best comic book movie ever
6. Gozu - first class takashi miike
7. Undead - way better than the over-rated Shaun
8. Nothing - little-known vincenzo natali scifi/comedy
9. Dawn of the Dead - cool remake
10. The Village - under-rated, surprising twist

my top 10 of 2005 is this:

1. The Descent - surprisingly fine british film
2. Sin City - stylish, entertaining ride
3. Hellevator The Bottled Fools - cube-ish japanese scifi, wierd but fun
4. Night Watch - engrossing russian fantasy
5. Team America - funny & ingenious
6. Born To Fight - no Ong Bak, but it'll do
7. The Aristocrats - over-produced, but can't ruin that joke!
8. Kung Fu Hustle - has its moments, despite the tedium
9. Star Wars 3 - poor first half, stirring conclusion
10. Batman Begin - great first half, generic second half

... and most of these wouldn't even have got in the top 10 of 2004! a terrible year. the biggest turkeys: Darkness, Drowning Ghost, Land of the Dead, The Card Player (sorry folks it sucked!)..... and worst of all.... KING KONG.
