Top 10: 2005 vs. 2004

I'm not saying 2005 films are worse then 2004 films...in fact there has been some really great films and surprises in 2005...

yet to me, there has been less "ba-bam" movies in 2005...movies that I can't imagine never being made. In fact, so far, I have not seen a single movie in 2005 I would deam a four-star movie.
