2005 Movies in Review

This is an updated list of 2005 movies I have seen. Four star movies are those that I highly recommend. Expertly crafted, captivating stories, well acted, haunting, amazing. If not masterpieces, then pretty close. My favorites.

Three and half star movies are just a smidge below, maybe missing one of the foregoing elements. Greatly entertaining, highly superior movies. Also strongly recommended.

Three star movies are those just below the foregoing. Worth seeing, worth a trip to the theater. Recommended.
