Andrew, I’m with you on Sin City. It was nothing short of spectacular. I’d like to see the Oscar films, but it’s unlikely, as my schedule doesn’t free me up for movies in the theater very much anymore. (Though I just might be going to see something tomorrow...if I do, it’ll likely be Match Point. I like Woody Allen films for the most part, and it’s been a while since he made a good one.)
I think the only films I saw theatrically in ‘05 were Star Wars, Robots, Batman Begins, Sin City, and King Kong. I liked ‘em all.
I’m also very interested in Steven Soderbergh’s Bubble, which will be easy to see since it’s being simultaneously released in theaters and on DVD. I hope that model catches on, because I’d much rather watch at home.

Yea, but I thought it started to lose it’s fire by the last one.
Really? I thought Return of the King was the best one.
Andrew, I’m with you on Sin City.
I just didn’t get Sin City. With all the hype and chatter about it I felt like I was supposed to like it to be cool, but it just wasn’t my bag.
Except for the scenes Alba was in. Those I liked.

Crash was pure crap. Nothing more needs to be said.
Well… I still stand by what I said. 2005 was an uncommonly good year for cinema; I have no doubt in my mind that future generations will look on that selection with the same derision we now place on 1969’s Oliver or 1980’s Kramer vs. Kramer.... or 1990’s Driving Miss Daisy..... or 95’s Forrest Gump. You know, come to think of it, they actually screw up a lot.
