[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 2813066, member: 8447"] Due to financial constraints, I saw very few films in the theatre this year. I saw many more on dvd. Let's see ... I didn't see Star Wars -- Episode III ... and have no intention to. After "Episode I", I gave up on the franchise entirely. I also missed [I]Serenity[/I], not having cared for the tv show. **shrug** -- maybe I have to give up my geek-license... Saw [I]War of the Worlds[/I] and [I]Fantastic Four[/I] on dvd a couple weekends back -- the former was awful, except for some special effects; the latter existed, but that is about as much as I can say -- not really bad, not really good, merely there. I saw [I]Charlie & the Chocolate Factory[/I] and loved the dance sequences. Overall it was an okay film. Again, nothing really spectacular, but certainly very far from bad. "Pleasant" would be a good word to describe it. I wanted to see both [I]The Corpse Bride[/I] and [I]Wallace & Grommit[/I], but was unable to do so -- hopefully friends will rent these soon. Same goes for "Good Night, And Good Luck[/I] and [I]Capote[/I]. I went to see [I]Goblet of Fire[/I] and it was ... okay. The problem is the [I]book[/I] was superb, so I came away very disappointed. Still, the film itself was well done. There simply wasn't enough time to cover more than the bare-bones basics. Sad, really. I caught part of [I]The Dukes of Hazzard[/I] on a train trip. I am still trying to bleach my eyes over that... Saw the new version of [I]The Amityville Horror[/I] -- fine for what it is supposed to be. I don't take it seriously as "real events", of course, because that was disproven with Round 1 back in the 1970s, but it was decent as a suspence-and-startle film. My sister got the dvd of [I]Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy[/I] for Xmas and watched it -- pretty good. I thought Zaphod was overly goofy, but Marvin was fantastic, as was Ford. [I]Kung Fu Hustle[/I] was a lot of fun! Overall I would say this was a fairly unspectacular year. Nothing really great. A few awful, but avoidable. In the aggregate, I'd say a very average year for films. [/QUOTE]
