Ripper, I hope you like Batman. And have no fear...the year is still salvageable...My Summer of Love opens tomorrow and its sitting on 95% over at RT...100% Cream of the Crop. I don't know if it's playing near you, but I'm certainly seeing it this weekend.

Usually February turns out an A movie for me, and that didn't happen this year. Its been pretty disappointing so far, I agree, but I think its due to alot of movie shuffling to avoid bearing the brunt of opening next to the big blockbusters. I'm guessing things will pick up in September when distributers are less scared of being financially and attention-wise dwarfed by the franchise biggies.

My favorites of 2005.

1. Batman Begins
2. The Longest Yard
3. The Interpreter
4. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
5. Mindhunters
6. Hitch
