I think this is the third time I've said this... Serenity owned. I'm tempted to go out and by the Firefly box set after seeing it. The sad thing is that that movie cost three times less than Star Wars III and the effects look twice as good.

I never saw Four Brothers... but I can safely say that the Popcorn movie of the year was The Transporter 2.

I enjoyed Four Brothers, but Yages is right. Transporter 2 was popcorn movie of the year. The stuff he did in that movie made you laugh, because it made you think "How could/did he do that?".
And yeah, Batman Begins is also on my 2005 list. It was a great movie, hopefully the sequel will be better. Also, Serenity sounds familiar...whats it about?

Also, Serenity sounds familiar...whats it about? Firefly was a Joss Whedon (see Buffy, Angel) project which was essentially a sci-fi western. Fox showed the series out of sequence and it was pre-empted by the baseball playoffs during its run. As a result, firefly took in low numbers and was dumped after 12(?) episodes. Whedon wouldn't let the project die, but was unable to get it onto another network. Finally, he was able to strike a movie deal for Firefly, with a minimal budget. Firefly (the name of class of ship) was renamed Serenity (the name of their ship and a war) and released this past year. If it does well enough - their will be two sequels on the big screen. ---- The story? Basically, the group are outlaws who had lost a war against the confederation (see control over most of the universe). They do odd jobs to make ends meet. One of their jobs was to transport a young man and his sister (whom he rescued from the confederation). The sister is a psychic who has been around some very important people in the confederation. The confederation wants her back in the worst way - and the story is really about what secret they are trying to protect. Unlike recent star wars sagas - the story revolves around really well written characters and a pretty darn good story.

The Island was an indirect remake of Parts: The Clonus Horror.

Strangely enough... myself and a few friends of mine got in a discussion about how kickass Street Fighter was before school Friday... stemming from my desire to have an American Flag tattooed to my shoulder. <_<

Read what you just type, then see who's gay. You, obviously. Anyone who doesn't think Jean Claude is the best Guile ever has no taste. The speech he made to the troops is the best acting anyone has ever done in film history.
