Black Swan (d. Darren Aronofsky)

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.

Let Me In (d. Matt Reeves)

Matt Reeves pulled it off – the remake that holds its own against the original. Every change made sense. The cast was terrific.

True Grit (d. Joel and Ethan Coen)

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.

The House Of The Devil (d. Ti West)

A really great horror movie that feels like it should have been released in 1983. You can even buy it on VHS. That is pretty awesome.

Triangle (d. Christopher Smith)

A hard movie to get into, but if you hang with it you’ll be blown away by the end. Highly recommended if you are looking for something different.

HONORABLE MENTION

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (d. Tom Six)

So here it is – the newest “sickest movie ever”. It surely delivered the gory goods and it was also completely hilarious.
