I have never seen as many movies as I have this year and i must say i have nearly loved every minute. There is nothing more in this whole world that i love more then going to the cinema. Even if the movie ends up stinking i always tend to have fun so to mark this year i have made my very first list of my favourite 10 movies but when i got to the end it finished up as 20. I also put together the 10 movies which i wish i hadn't seen. The list starts here...

1. King Kong : All the reviews of this films has proved that this isn't the perfect film but when you sit down to watch it there is so much love and care put into this that it feels different to watching other movies. Also BEST FIGHT EVER!

2. Wolf Creek: What a year for Australian film. I saw this and loved every minute, the voilence is over top and the performance of John Jarrett is great. I hope there is more to come.

3. Batman Begins: To say the Batman series went down hill is an understatement. Thank christ for Chris Nolan, this dark and slick film.

4. Kung-Fu Hussle: Stephen Chow is one hell of a film maker and he just keeps getting better and this was one of the best films this year.

5. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang; What a fucking script. This moive never stops from the start to finish. Shane Black is back and i hope he stays around for a long time.

6. Sin City: Noir film has never been so cool!!!

7. Howls Moving Castle: How the fuck does Hayao Miyazaki keeps doing it?

8. A Very Long Engagement: A very beautiful film with the very beautiful Audrey Tautou in the lead.

9. Old Boy: This revenge is hardcore cool.

10: 40 Year Old Virgin: I never laughed so much.

There it is. I had fun wacthing so many movies this year and i had a ball makeing my first list ever. Happy New Year!!!!!

The new Harry Potter is evything I could want from a adaption of my favourite book of the Harry Potter series. The best thing about the movie was the willingness from new director Mike Newell to add new scenes and make existing parts fit into a movie instead of just trying to recreate the book. One of the new scene in the movie that isn't in the book is one of my favourite in the whole film, it is when the kids are studying and are talking instead of working and Snape is forced to hit them on the back of the head to keep them quite, it is truely very funny. Thats another thing about the film that i wasn't expecting, even with the darkness of the story writer Steven Kloves turns out his funniest Haryy Potter script. The movie doesn't go 10 minutes without making you laugh. Four movies in and the kids have grown up a lot and you would think if they don't hurry up they might have to change them for the last film but if TV can make a generation of kids believe that the kids in Dawson's Creek were high scholol age then anything is possible. Apart from there age they are doing a great job with only Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) letting the team down a little bit with her over acting but she is only 15. The other teachers are of course fantastic casting with new chacter Mad Eye Moody a stand out. The new teacher with his mad eye is more then i could ever want from a live action Mad Eye. Its crap that Mike Newell isn't staying for another because he did such a fine job and this next section is tough cause the books are longer and for me not as good as the first lot and need all the continuity they can muster. It will be interesting what the next movie will be like but in the mean time i can enjoy what i have now...

The best Harry Potter yet, i have to give that a
