1) downfall
utterly magnificent. brilliant acting throughout, bruno ganz deserves an oscar. really captured the feeling of a terrible regime reaching its brutal finale.
some of the scenes were very difficult to watch though, particular the ones with the goebells children.
2) the descent
brilliant horror film, aided by superb direction from neil marshall. bout time we had a serious horror film that scared us, as opposed to those god awful hollywood horror re-makes and teen slasher films.
3) batman begins
best blockbuster of the year. you can tell a lot of care and attention went into the film. beautifully paced with superb villians and for once a blockbuster had a good script.
4) ep III
better than episode II, and miles better than episode I. still feel a little let down though.
5) stander
pleasant surprise of the year. fast-paced, funny, exciting with an excellent central character to root for as well.
was disappointed with sin city - too much style over substance and even the comic book visuals got a bit tiresome after a while.
kingdom of heaven was good, but orlando bloom doesn't have the gravitas of a russell crowe - gravitas that a big historical epic sorely neeRAB.
