Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee, 2005)

8/10
This came out just before or around the time I was seriously getting interested in movies, so I'd never seen it until now. It's quite good, buoyed by three great performances (Ledger, Gyllenhaal and Williams), the beautiful cinematography and direction, and a great soundtrack. It loses some points for the editing which felt a little ham-fisted but I guess that's what happens when you're trying to cram the life stories of two people into two hours.

The Amityville Horror (Andrew Douglas, 2005)

4/10
Well I didn't really like this bad movie but I didn't hate it either, it was just kind of goofy...and not Road House goofy either. Nothing really seemed to make sense and the scares were ludicrous. I have to give credit to Ryan Reynolds who really seemed to be putting everything he had into the role of the possessed (or whatever he was) dad.
