Midnight in St. Petersberg - 6/10

Not quite as atrocious as i thought it was going to be. In fact quite reasonable in a very dated way.

Not... even... close.

And 6.9 is being VERY generous.

Ponyo 8.5/10

Not for everyone but I think it's one of the most adorable movies out there. Only reason it's not a perfect 10 is because some of the kids voices in the English dub annoy me.

I saw some movie called lars and the real girl or something like that - 8/10

I had no idea what I was watching before meeting up with some friends and it's not bad for an independent film. Although there were some parts of the movie that was really awkward it was enjoyable.

"The Girl Next Door"

An "art" film star (Elisha Cuthbert) moves in next door to Speed Racer; chaos ensues in this romantic comedy about "moral fiber" with a great supporting performance from Timothy Olyphant, 7/10

"The Vicious Kind" 4/10

A construction worker (Adam Scott) tries to warn his brother (Alex Frost) about his new girlfriend (Brittany Snow), but ends up being obessed over her.

A very messed up movie...

The Hurt Locker 6.5/10 - Just didn't do it for me.

Gran Torino - 6.5/10

Got what Eastwood was going for—and yeah, he's great in it—but there's kind of an obviousness to a lot of what happens that was off-putting to me. The slice-of-life scenes and the encounters with the priest are really well-written, even if I don't quite believe a teenage South Asian girl would talk to an elderly white man like that.

Precious - 7.5/10

Mo-Nique was amazing. Fully deserved oscar winner. And.. Mariah's voice is hot!

I know Japanese and I find the subs annoying, and my gf doesn't know japanese and hates reading subtitles, so we generally watch it in English.....that being said, she hates anime.

I forgot what I rated it but would consider it worth it just to see how masterfully SS painted the 90's with the Red One. The Girlfriend Experience was one of my favorite movies of last year. That how much I enjoy and admire Soderbergh.

Shutter Island really worked for me most part. Some of the exposition was a little hammy, and yeah the first half of the second act dragged a little. On the positive, it was fun to watch the old school, referential staging and of course dig into the mystery. 7/10

Science Fiction recommendations?

I debated whether I should start a new thread for this or not, but I thought i'd keep it in this thread for sake of order and forum cleanliness. Anyway, I recently saw the movie Moon. Terrific! Are there any others out there that are like it? 2001:A Space Odyssey and Solyaris are both great, but I've seen each countless times.

Let The Right One In

-Swedish independent film offering a completely different take on vampires.
Overall Rating: 8/10
Genre Rating: 10/10
-Definitely one of the best vampire movies I have ever seen. Very character driven, and it does a great job of breaking away from the glamor that most other vampire movies show. A very interesting juxtaposition of tender and horrible. Great acting, especially by the two lead actors. I highly recommend this film.
