"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was funny, but I can't put it in my Top 10. Maybe...it'll be in Top 30. Big Grin

For me, this past has been the worst year yet for films... Batman Begins, War of the Worlds, Syriana and Cinderella Man get my votes as the highlights, though (I'm one of those who really couldn't stand Star Wars, and I walked out of both Hitchikers and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.) :-(

As you said, things are really "slow" in Japan. :p So we can see "Syriana" next year. Yesterday I saw trailer. Lookin' good.


Top 10 movies in 2005 - Marc - 01-02-2006

I really don't have a top ten as I didn't find that many films in 2005 memorable. My few picks in a Top Ten list though would be:

Serenity
King Kong
Crash
Capote
Batman Begins
40 Year Old Virgin
Sin City


Top 10 movies in 2005 - Anders Monsen - 01-03-2006

I haven't seen that many movies this year, but based on what I remember.

5. The Island
4. Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
3. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
2. King Kong
1. Serenity

Worst movies I saw (8 because 2005 sucked):
5. Kingdom of Heaven / Sin City (latter looked good, conveyed nothing)
4. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (amusing but pointless)
3. Mr. and Mrs. Smith / Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
2. Madagascar / Robots (yuk. Give me Pixar any day)
1. War of the Worlds (huh?)

Movies I wish I had seen in 2005:
a. 2046
b. Narnia
c. Harry Potter IV
d. A History of Violence
e. Syriana

Speaking of 2046, in Japan, everybody said it was one of worst movies in 2004. I agree. Actually I rented video and saw it, but I quit it in first 30-40 min. Visual effect was not bad, but story was completely pointless.

Then I'll skip it, despite the allure of Ziyi Zhang, Maggie Cheung, and Faye Wong.

Have you seen Tsui Hark's "Seven Swords" or Chen Kaige's "The Promise"? I realine both are Chinese, but perhaps they are shown sooner in Japan as well.

"Seven Swords" was already released in Japanese theaters. I passed up it. Sad I'll rent DVD or video. Speaking of "The Promise", I can see it in Feb 11. Maybe I'll see it in a theater.

Well, I like seeing movies in a theater. But I can't see all of in a theater released movies. Wink
