I enjoyed doing this last time, and having finally seen King Kong last night, I decided to do it for this past year. And,once again, this is a ranking of new movies released in 2005 that I've seen in theaters. So, without further delay:

I was so about to post all my reasons as to why episode III wasn't top, but then realized I'd make myself a queer if I did :/

I agree entirely on war of the worlds fitting both worst and best haha.

And I know a lot who ragged on constantine. I loved it lol. Went into it not expecting anything and loved the style and messages in it. Er what I got from it anyway.

At the end of War of the Worlds, when Tom Cruise was shouting "LOOK AT THE BIRDS!!1" I was thinking "Dear God please tell me the aliens did not just get defeated by bird shit."

Iono man, bird shit is pretty nasty stuff.

I wasn't upset with the ending on how the aliens were actually "defeated", just how everything was shown. His son randomly being ok and in boston like woa hey there kiddo. The suspense was nice in the basement but the drag was too long. I duno it just seemed so random and so quickly tied up.

pretty solid list, as usual.

first of all, i'd like to begin by saying that i am a faggot. with that out of the way, i'd have to recommend reading goblet of fire. it was sort of pownier than the movie. i'm reading the rest of the books now, as well.

I couldn't agree more with your analysis of War of the Worlds...

The first half of that movie was simply brilliant suspense cinema, which ended up, in the second half, deteriorating into a typical Spielbergian happy ending and lack of resolution. No forward explanations for anything, no aftermath, nothing, just "Oh, his son is alive after he Leeroy Jenkins'd the alien attack front" and "'sup Morgan Freeman"...
