Notable Individuals

THE EXCEPTIONAL




1 - Der Untergang [Downfall]
Incredibly impressive look at Hitler's final days, marvellously helmed by Oliver Hirschbiegel
2 - Million Dollar Baby
Another splendid tale from Clint Eastwood, resurrecting the sports movie as a serious drama
3 - The Aviator
Both DiCaprio and Scorsese go from strength-to-strength in this lush, glitzy biopic
4 - Diarios De MOtocicleta[The Motorcycle Diaries]
Skilfully directed and keenly acted, this is a truly masterful work
5 - Garden State
Braff proves that his talents extend far beyond his TV roots in this phenomenal independent release
6 - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
7 - Man On Fire
8 - The Incredibles
9 - Spiderman 2
10 - Kill Bill: Vol. 2

THE MOST UNDER-RATED FILM OF 2004

The Butterfly Effect
A surprising sleeper film that showed a depth to air-headed Ashton Kutcher whilst offering an interesting science fiction tale

THE INUTILE



1 - Catwoman
2004's dumbest movie had to be Catwoman, a ridiculous superhero tale with almost nothing original or praiseworthy to offer
2 - Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Such a disappointment following its entertaining predecessor, a real waste of opportunity and source material
3 - Envy
Envy is another Barry Levinson miss that fails to entertain, despite casting such talent as Jack Black, Rachel Weisz, Ben Stiller and Christopher Walken.
4 - New York Minute
Depressing plot familiarities litter this bland and often racially stereotyping crap-fest
5 - The Alamo
Multifarious subplots and half-rate speeches define this drab period portrayal of an event only remembered by anti-Mexicans

THE MOST OVER-RATED FILM OF 2004

Meet The Fockers
The first film was unbearable because I lived the experiences on-screen, the sequel was just as stupid but managed to rope in more stars and more money
