Because there just aren't enough movie reviews on the web already... Episode II
Two more runners up for Favourite Movie Of 2005 which I completely forgot to mention when writing my previous post and then couldn't be bothered to add later once I had remembered
- 2046 - Wong Kar Wai's follow up to In The Mood For Love. Tony Leung Chiu-wai (who is one of my favourite actors - check out Infernal Affairs if you haven't already) is trying to deal with life after his almost-affair with Maggie Cheung's Su Li-zhen from the previous film. He becomes strangely obsessed with a hotel room baring the number "2046", moves in next door, and conducts a series of relationships with the women who move into "2046". These relationships inspire a short story, a science fiction tale about a place in the year 2046 where you can go to forget and live in eternal happiness. A gorgeous, meandering, dream-like film that takes its time but is definitely worth the effort.
- Team America: World Police - Utterly profane and hilarious marionette fun. A film without prejudice: everybody is mercilessly ridiculed. But there is also a profound insight into the human condition about how there are three types of people in the world: dicks, pussies and arseholes.
