David said "37 The Witches (1990) repeat *"
Why would you watch a movie you obviously hated AGAIN? Was it to sure up first impressions?
Watching the Witches again had more to do with being too lazy to move from the couch and only having Rugby League or a dodgy Britsh detective story as veiwing alternatives
Finally figured out how to add a movie list for 2006 when I honestly have no fucking clue whether it was last year or 1998 that I watched the conclusion to the matrix trilogy (did Neo die in the end … by that stage who gave a flying crap anyway).
Anyway, my very daggy solution was to read through my Empires and only rate movies that I (pretty much meaning my girly and I) watched that came out in 2006, or more acurately, seeing as I rarely get off my ass to go to the cinema, what came out on DVD between Oct 2005 to oct 2006 (taking into account the typical lag between the silverscreen and the walk to Lackluster Videos). Anyway, for a change let’s do it in reverse order from ‘rather use a vegetable peeler on my eyeballs’ to un-missable.
1. little fish - 0 (Ozzie! Ozzie Ozzie!)
2. Nanny mcphee - 1
3. Mirror mask - 1

16. must love dogs - 2
17. King kong - 3
18. The brothers grimm - 3
19. Munich - 3
20. The aristocrats - 3 (wanna know what a ‘rusty trombone’, Charlie chaplin’ or strawberry shortcake’ is? Didn’t think so)
21. Memoirs of a geisha - 3
22. Lord of war - 3
23. Hostel - 3 (disgusting but fun)
24. Kokada - 3 (disgusting but educational)
