There’s a ‘Best of 2004‘ so here comes The Best of 2005!!!

Album of the Year – Jack Johnson – In Between Dreams I’d never heard of Jack Johnson until a group of us went to see him live in a park in Sydney, Australia. The gig was really good but what was more inspirational was the lifestyle that comes with the music. JJ only really sings happy ‘take it easy’ style songs which fits well with a chilled out surf lifestyle that was what I was enjoying at the time. Now the music provides a welcome retreat back into that world as I drive around the chaotic streets of London and face not so welcoming weather. |

Cinema Trip of the Year – Sin City – Cloverdale Probably not the best film I have seen but definitely the most memorable cinema trip of the year. The reason being was I saw it at Cloverdale cinema near Vancouver, Canada. Cloverdale is the town used in the hit television series ‘Smallville’, which is based on Superman’s younger years. What was funny was the people in the cinema reminded me of the characters in Smallville. Everyone looked a little bit eerie, one picture that sticks in my mind is that of an obese woman resting a ‘bucket’ of cola on her stomach whilst watching the film. |

DVD of the Year – Thicker than Water My first Surfing DVD purchase and probably one of the best. Thicker than Water tours some of the worlds best breaks with some of the worlds best surfers. A buy for all budding surfers. I bought it from what is probably the best surf shop in Australia – Six Ounce Board Store |

Book of the Year – The DaVinci Code Actually to be honest this is one of the only books I have read this year. The story line is engrossing but you already know that as everyone in the world seems to have read it. |
|
Game of the Year – Grand Theft Auto – Vice City I would have put Flight Simulator but unfortunately I used that last year. This game is a bit violent and should definitely not be played by anyone under the age of 18 or anyone of a mental disposition. The ideal is basically to steal cars, trucks, planes, bikes, boats etc.. and commit crimes for gangs that you are in. You can also shoot people in the streets or kill them with swords, knuckle dusters, screwdrivers etc… It’s very violent but strangely enticing. |
