True Grit, 2010

Another homerun from the Coen Brothers. Young Hailee Steinfeld more than held her own against one of the best casts of the year. A must see.

Death Race 2, 2010

Not as much fun as the original, but it does retain some of the original’s goofy charm. They are both dumb but I can’t get upset with them.

Buried, 2010

For a movie just about a guy who was buried alive, the filmmakers sure do a great job at keeping it visually and mentally interesting.

Battle Royale, 2000

I haven’t watched this movie in a while and I have to say it holds up remarkably well. If you like The Hunger Games check out this movie.

Dinner for Schmucks, 2010

A few good jokes but it took almost 90 minutes to get to the big dinner and you see all the funniest parts in the trailer.

Black Swan, 2010

I couldn’t care less about ballet, but what a great movie. Natalie Portman‘s descent into madness blew me away. Give her the Oscar now.

Waking Sleeping Beauty, 2009

Documentary about the Disney animation renaissance of the late 1980s told through the home movies of the people who where there.

TRON: Legacy, 2010

Completely mind-blowing visually, but crashes and burns as soon any character starts talking. Even Jeff Bridges can’t act his way out of this one.

The Last Exorcism, 2010

I was all ready to love this movie but it really was kind of boring. It finally got going in the last 3 minutes. Too little, too late.

The Town, 2010

I’m always up for a good heist film, but the extended version of the movie felt a little too long. I bet the theatrical version plays better.

Dead Air, 2009

Cult favorite Bill Moseley was really good in this Talk Radio meets 28 Days Later thriller.

A Serbian Film, 2010

This is one disturbing movie. I have seen things that will be hard for any other movie to top. Watch at your own risk.

Troll 2

Troll 2

Still the funniest bad movie you’ll ever see. You owe it to yourself to watch it at least once in your life.

Coffin Rock, 2009

A refreshing take on the Fatal Attraction formula from Australia where the guy ends up being the crazy killer instead of the woman.

Devil, 2010

Way better than I expected. I really didn’t know how it would end.

Skyline, 2010

Good premise but once you set up some rules for your movie you can’t break them just when you feel like it.  I kinda of really like the end.
