Now that you're discussing Gonzalez Iñárritu's work, go watch his last, it's my favorite so far.

Fair Game -- 8.5/10

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, 9.5/10

The Girl Who Played With Fire, 9/10
 
Both movies are intense, hip, and entertaining modern crime/conspiracy thrillers. Our heroine is an empowered bisexual rape victim/private investigator that specializes in righting big wrongs, the setting is modern Sweden. Dragon Tattoo is a bit more intense than Played With Fire and may seem more original but both were extremely well made IMHO. Extra half point for each for competent dubbing because I hate subtitles.
 

 
I am looking forward to the further adventures of Lisbeth Salander when the third installment of the Millennium Trilogy is released, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.

Apocalypse Now 10/10
 
EDIT 400th post WOO!
 
I spend way too much time here.

I finally got around to watching Borat.  That movie is crazy funny at times.  Some of those chasing scenes were hilarious and some scenes were almost unbelievable.
 
I would give it a 7.5 / 10.
 
What percent of the movie would you say was shot without the people knowing that it was a fictitious documentary and how much of it was rehearsed?

The Kids are All Right was magnifique. The premise could of been hokey, yet was handled so naturally. The whole film had a wonderful ease about it. The kind of ease that experienced thespians will bring, along with understated directing. It would be criminal if Annette Bening doesn't receive an Oscar nod for it. Ruffalo and Moore, were also so friggin' good. The former played a man child like second nature. Moore donned the insecurity suit she has worn before so well, in films like A Single Man and Far from Heaven. It wasn't just about the performances however. The story was solid too, real nuts and bolts family dram. One monologue near the end, would strike right to the core of anyone whom has experienced an extended romantic relationship. 8/10

I think Hillary Swank has a leg up on Annette Benning in that regard for Conviction.  Though Annette has a thematic advantage when it comes to the Oscars.  Carey Mulligan was awesome too but hers was a restrained performance not typical of the wide range that catches attention for such laurels.

Sneakers - 9.5/10
 
Love this movie and it never gets old. It has a bunch of good actors in it too..
 
Robert Redford, Ben Kingsley, Dan Aykroyd and Sidney Poitier...
 
October Sky - 10/10
 
One of the few good PG movies out there. I hope they release this on Blu-ray.

Serbis (Service) - 7/10
 
In spots, this Filipino film plays a a bit like soft-core porn, but that's actually part of the plot line: It's about a family whose business is a rundown adult movie theater. Family dysfunction gets a fascinating spin when it unfolds amid gay cruising and hustling. And considering that it was Brillante Mendoza's first film, the conceptual polish is pretty astonishing.

John Rabe - 9/10
 
Well crafted, authentic (for true spoken languages),beautiful, and heart wrenching story about the Nanjing Massacre. Good perspective, a must see IMO!

Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist.
 
Okay but predictable. Just like every other "girl and guy with friends/aquaintances who have other boy/girlfriends but don't really like them and end up with the friend after a big fight" movies. 7.5/10

 

[Ttvetjanu]

Phone Booth - 8.4/10
 
Actually much better than I remembered. Colin Ferrel does a great performance in this movie.
 
Much better than the (imdb)higher rated Collateral, which I rate at 7.6/10

Just saw inception yesterday. Awesome movie, a little overrated though IMO. 8.7/10

The Social Network.

That's one of the more accurate posts about the movie I've seen IMO.
