Anyway as we come to the end of 2004, I want to reflect on some things this year and give my seal of approval and disapproval. So let’s take a look at the list.

Best movie of 2004

This is a very hard topic considering the fact there were not many good movies this year, especially when people tell you how great movies are and they end up just sucking. I even had to look up a list of what came out this year. I know that makes me a stoner, but whatever.

I would have to say Troy was the best movie of 2004 because it has what everyone loves; sex, violence, war, yelling. I liked it because it served the story well. The Trojan horse is an awesome thing. I thought it was well written and played out. I liked the part with all the boats in the ocean. It was a great movie. I did not get a chance to see the Aviator, but I have a feeling that will kick Troy’s ass. I liked the Manchurian Candidate too, but I thought the ending sucked.

Worst movie of 2004

The fucking Terminal. No question about it. My girlfriend made me see it, so when a girlfriend makes you see a movie guys, you know it is going to blow. Tom Hanks had the worst Russian accent I have ever heard. If you think that Stanley Tucci is going to keep me in an airport, you are out of your mind. I thought the movie went on too long. I felt like a drop of water kept hitting me in the face and no matter where I moved, that drop kept hitting me. I think I fell asleep a couple times too.

Best CD of 2004

It was a good year for music. Fear Factory, who is my favorite band, came back to life with Archetype. Awesome record. Killswitch Engage’s follow up was tighter than their debut in 2002. The New Danger by Mos Def is a good record. I just got it last week. However it was one man who released his album late last year and it made a buzz at the beginning of this year. That would be Kanye West. I thought that his album defined mainstream hip-hop to what it should be. From the heart. He talks a lot of shit, but he backs it up with very meaningful songs about family, life, and coming up from Chicago’s south side. College Dropout was a great album, but I hate the workout song. I skip it every time I listen to it. If idiots like Nelly, G-Unit, Eminem (who used to have this formula, but lost it when he became more famous) followed his formula; I believe hip-hop would be back to the greatness it was back in the 80’s. It isn’t all about the money, and the bling. It is about how am I going to make it past this one day. No matter how much money I have.

Worst album of 2004 (that I actually took the time out to listen to)

Nelly’s Sweat/Suit definitely was up there considering the singles I heard. R. Kelly and Usher recorded the same record, and that is just judging by the singles. However, I was very sad to pass judgment on the album I couldn’t stand this year.

Bjork has always made great records. Debut and Post were great. However her latest effort Medulla needs a transplant. There is barely any music on the record. A lot of it is Bjork making breathing noises like she is having an orgasm with a toaster. There is some percussion but a lot of it is Bjork whining on about shit I can’t even understand. She is a creative force, but this album went way over the top for me. It may not be a bad album for some, but it is definitely an acquired taste.

Best book of 2004

One person who I have fallen in love with (not her but her writing) over the course of the last 8 months is Maureen Dowd. Her book “Bushworld” breaks down the hypocrisy of the Bush administration from day one. All the power and the corruption and the greed, and how it all came to pass. I am still in the process of reading it, but so far I love it. I love it so much, I owe the library $7 in overdue fees.

Worst book of 2004

There weren’t any bad books I read this year, sorry
