Best of 2005
Best movie
Crash- This movie really affected me, you can probably find a little of yourself in one of these characters. But this movie might make you thing about how you treat people of different races or how society treats them. Mostly it’s my pick because of that one scene where my heart stopped and a scream stuck in my throat, if you’ve seen it you know what I am talking about, if not go watch it and find out.
Honorable Mention
Cinderella Man – It was hard to not pick this movie, which was equally inspiring, and had the better acting to.
Best Television Show
Lost- This is probably the ultimate what is going to happen next show. As the season wore on it just kept getting stranger and more amazing. But it was the characters that kept you coming back for more, they were deep and real.
Honorable Mentions
House- Hugh Laurie is the best actor on television today and is the only reason why you should watch
Desperate Housewives- There is probably so many reason why I, as a guy, should hate this show, but great writing, great performances, and the funniest show on tv this year.
Best Album
The White Stripes “Get Behind Me Satan” – Jack White is the greatest musician of our time. He somehow manages to re-invent himself on every record and it works. Everything is top quality on this album and every track rocks.
Honorable Mention
My Chemical Romance “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” – Read my review in previous post.
Best Video Game
God of War – This might be the greatest game ever, it doesn’t do anything revolutionary it just perfects everything it does. Great script with great voice acting and you cherish every battle. It was never so much fun to be so brutal.
Honorable Mention
Resident Evil 4 – More of a co-winner really, in any other year that didn’t have God of War this would have been my game of the year. It is the best Resident Evil yet, by miles and that is no small feat either. Not scary really, but amazingly fun.
Best Book
Note: most of the books I read in 2005 weren’t published in 2005, my winner was, but my honorable mention was just read in the year
J.K. Rowling “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” – what can you say about these books that hasn’t been said before. Simply amazing, impossible to put down. And the ending, Holy Shit. But it was bittersweet seeing as how this next to the last book.
Honorable Mention
Dan Brown, “Angels and Demons” – I didn’t like it as much as “The DiVinci Code”, but it was still an amazing ride. I don’t know how Dan Brown does it. His books are so complex, but he makes you understand them so well.
