Match Point - had a really great payoff scene at the end. And not so much else.

Well, if we're going to count 2005 movies, then my list of movies seen in the past two years practically doubles.

I really liked Match Point, although (cue David Spade voice) I liked it better the first time when it was called Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Brokeback Mountain was good, but a bit meandering. I did not like the state of nature guitar that accompanied the fishing, swimming scenes. I also wasn't sure of the film's ultimate point of view since it seemed to suggest early on that Heath Ledger's finest hour was when he defended his wife and daughters at the fair.
