The Films Of 2005
The following will be a chronicling of all the movies I've seen in 2005. I'm not counting the countless DVDs I'll consume (because why would you count something countless?) but instead restrict myself to the new releases of 2005 that I actually travel to a theater to watch. I'll also include a rating of 1-5 stars.
Let the mayhem begin...

1 Comments:
I enjoyed the performances by Quaid and Grace quite a bit (despite Tohper's claim in Ocean's 12 that he "totally phoned in that Dennis Quaid movie") however, I sort of felt at the end that the performances rose above the material, and I mean FAR above the material. If I recall (since I saw this movie in January) there wasn't really enough of a build or a give and take throughout the course of the film. Neither character really had any sort of concrete goal as written and both were just sort of pawns to the greater powers that be, which is obviously somewhat the point of the story but it's still not very interesting since you don't know what the powers that be are doing. You just sort of get these commands (aka plot twists) from on high. Plus I take issue with any film that manages to cast Scarlett Johansson and then totally squanders her talent in a completely two-dimensional role.
