  2005 in film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please note that following the tradition of the English language film industry, these are the top grossing films that were first released in the United States and Canada in 2005; because they may have made most of their income in a later year, they may not be the top-grossing films for calendar year.
In the film industry, a wide-release movie is a film that studios believe will appeal to a broad spectrum of the public and that shows in at least 600 theatres in the United States and Canada.

Each of the previous films were laden with commentary of their times – Night of the Living Dead on race, morality and social conscience, Dawn of the Dead on commercialism run rampant, Day of the Dead on the pressures of competing agendas leading to self destruction (i.e.
A Japanese film starring Chinese superstar Zhang Ziyi (the second japanese character she will be playing including her role in the film version of Memoirs of a Geisha) which is in the vein of Moulin Rouge, One From the Heart, or Tears of the Black Tiger…It wears it artificiality on its sleeve.
The director of the film, Seijun Suzuki is one of the prolific Japanese directors, with films stretching all the way back to the 1950s and he is a Criterion Collection favorite.

 Paramount Pictures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until this time films were sold on a state-wide or regional basis; not only was this inefficient, but it had proved costly to film producers.
It was this system which gave Paramount a leading position in the 1920s and 1930s, but which led the government to pursue it on anti-trust grounds for more than twenty years.
As always, Paramount films continued to emphasize stars; in the 1920s there were Swanson, Valentino and Clara Bow.

 Looker: August 2005
The first film ever made of the city, shot by the Thomas Edison Company in 1896: eleven seconds of Herald Square abuzz with streetcars and pedestrians.
Part of a five-minute film shot in 1905, just eight months after the subway opened, following a train from Union Square to 42nd Street, where hordes of men in bowlers disembark.
Smith, but Looker is too much of a film snob to find out.) It's a relief to see Owen Wilson buddying up with someone funnier than Ben Stiller, whose angry-and-uptight shtick is so twentieth-century—but Wilson still deserves props for rushing to Stiller's defense (and ridiculing David Denby) in that letter to The New Yorker.

The film is grainy and rich, you can almost feel the old dusty wood, the waterfalls, the rocky buttes and scrubby plains leap out of the screen.
When I caught this at the 2004 Toronto Film Festival, I remarked that it was one of the most flat out effortlessly enjoyable movie experiences i'd had in a while (probably since 2003's ONG BAK, which oddly enough debuted in North America theatrically last weekend).
My chief stumbling point with the film is that there is just not enough time spent with Sophie before the conflict comes into play to get to know her as a character prior to transformation.

Although some the stories in the film seem contrived, the actors portraying the roles are not only convincing but perhaps give their best performance to date.
With the exception of a bullet train at infinite speed and the dialogue, which gave Speedman and Dafoe the worst lines of the film, the film is appealing because Cube and Jackson are worth watching.
The film revels in its desire to be the next great epic, but it merely falls to a solid somewhat banal period piece of excellent bloody sword and arrow play in numerous battles.

 Everything Is Illuminated -- Official Film Site
The film was written and directed by Liev Schreiber and based upon the critically-acclaimed, national best-seller, Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.
Clancy thought the film would be "an incredibly interesting project to design and loved the screenplay." He decided not to read the book, not wanting to be wrongly influenced but instead worked directly from the script.
Three stories interweave throughout the film, the central of which is Marv, a tough-as-nails and nearly impossible to kill street fighter who goes on a rampage of vengeance when a beautiful woman, Goldie, he sleeps with for only one night is killed while lying in bed with him.

When a film needs so many writers to be credited, there's a problem, and such is the case with the latest remake on the 1950s TV series, The Honeymooners.
This film is basically the fl version of it, BUT without the spark and punchlines that made you laugh out loud.

 Combustible Celluloid film review - The Honeymooners (2005), John Schultz, Cedric the Entertainer, Gabrielle Union, dvd ...
In the 1950s, "The Honeymooners" helped establish the most rancid cliché in American comedy -- the irresponsible husband with the long-suffering, much smarter wife who always forgives him for being a selfish jackass.
Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows pulled it off because 1) they gave a certain tenacious chemistry to their characters' head-butting marriage, 2) Gleason had a gift for finding humor and humanity in unsympathetic roles, and 3) it was a simpler time, when idiotic get-rich-quick schemes weren't quite such a tiresome excuse for cheap laughs.
Directed on auto-pilot by John Schultz (Like Mike, Drive Me Crazy), this Honeymooners is the mind-numbing, half-hearted culmination of every comedy of the last 50 years that considered its ending a happy one when a woman who deserves better takes back a insincere man who has sabotaged the relationship then apologized, but hasn't changed.
