Top 10 Guilty Pleasures of 2005

And now for the flicks last year which I enjoyed, but feel a little apologetic about enjoying because, you know, they're not film. In alphabetical order (and according to hanyu pinyin too):

Æon Flux - See Charlize run! See Charlize fight! And all in a hot skintight costume!
Constantine - What happens when Neo gets into the occult? Oh, and throw in a scary Tilda Swinton too, just for kicks. Keanu Reeves is still a piece of wood, though.
The Descent - A genuinely frightening ride.
The Legend of Zorro - Swashbuckling adventure and Catherine Zeta-Jones' décolletage...
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Brangelina = So fucking sexy.
Night Watch - Russian vampire hunters! You gotta admit that's cool.
Red Eye - Just a good, tense, and very very tight little thriller.
獅子城 (Lion City) - Unbelievably hilarious, but for all the wrong reasons.
Transporter 2 - So ludicrous, it's loads of fun.
Tom-Yum-Goong - Holy fucking Tony Jaa-style ass-kicking! Pity about the crap (i.e., the non-action scenes).
