**Best Movies:** Pirates of the Caribbean Return of the King **Best Evil Dictator Capture** : Saddam Hussein **Best Harry Potter book published this year** : HP5: Order of Phoenix **Best Example of a Movie on Other People’s Lists that Monstre Thought Was Okay But Wasn’t As Gushingly Impressed With As Others** : Seabiscuit. (It was okay, but the close-ups of the up-and-down arms on the horse-riding (the obvious stationary-shots-filled-in-with-blue-screen-scenery moments) was pretty goofy. Movie could have been shortened without losing the story, too). **Best Comic That They Finally Brought To Monstre’s Local Paper This Year, Replacing The Awful “Curtis” Strip** : Foxtrot. (woo-hoo!) **Best Monstre** Me
