I Love You, Man
Decent comedy with some laugh out loud jokes. Some really funny actors and actresses show up in supporting roles.

The International
Not as good as I was hoping it would be. I really like all of Tom Tykwer’s other films, but this one just felt kind of flat.
Splinter
A surprisingly good little independent horror film. I really enjoyed the filmmaker’s use of mostly practical effects over tons of bad cgi.
That Completist Mentality
That Completist Mentality, or: Why do I own 2 versions of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy when I really don’t even like it? That’s a good question, one I found asking myself recently as I began the yearly task of reorganizing my dvd collection. Usually I would end up...
Knowing
I was wondering why I was wasting time watching this movie until it took a very interesting and unexpected turn in the the last 30 minutes.
Adventureland
About 20 minutes too long and not as funny as I was expecting it to be from the trailer. That said, I still liked this movie quite a bit.
Surveillance
Three stories intersect during a horrific highway crash. Even though I figured it out pretty early this was still a good little thriller.
Killshot
A confusing and ultimately boring adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel. A solid cast, including Mickey Rourke, couldn’t save this movie.
