I accidentally took a couple of weeks off from our "Siri Says" series but that's okay - I recently crossed the halfway mark on these posts and it's getting harder and harder to get Siri to randomly give me a number that she hasn't given me before. The odds are not in our favor! I usually have to ask her for a number about a dozen times now before we get a fresh 'un. And anyway it'd be a shame to run out of these posts too fast - I like doing them too much.
Anyway today Siri, after a few tries, gave us the number "5" and so today we're going to choose our favorite movies from THe Year 2005. (My apologies to the year 1905 but you know what you did.) Some very good stuff is becoming a teenager this year! Let's take a look see at my favorite thirteen-year olds...
