The Year in Review
Revenge of the Sith - Lucas finally back on top - and the biggest space battle ever seen.
My Top Picks
My Top Picks
- Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith: Opening with a space battle to end all space battles, George Lucas finally came back in top form.
- The Exorcism of Emily Rose: A surprisingly good "horror film" filled with heart and characters you could actually care about.
- Kingdom of Heaven: A daring film, particularly in the political climate of the day which showed us that not everything is black and white as far as religion goes.
- V for Vendetta
- Hostel

The Biggest Disappointments
- Doom: Even if they'd just copied the game it would have been good but instead they decided to change the story.
- The Brothers Grimm: Not quite sure what could have been done to save this mess.
- Mirrormask: A hodge-podge of ideas and sfx which never actually congeals.
- Sound of Thunder, A: Excellent Premise, terrible film.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Leave the original TV series alone.
- The Man: A buddy film which doesn't make the grade.
