The Keep, 1983

Movies don’t get much cultier than Michael Mann‘s WWII horror film. Mostly remembered for the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. I liked it a lot.

Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage, 2010

One of rock’s most over-looked bands gets the behind the music treatment in this documentary. I still say Neil Peart is the best drummer around.

127 Hours, 2010

Good movie. Aron Ralston‘s sheer determination to survive at any cost is a very inspiring story because I know I never could do what he did.

Winter's Bone, 2010

A young girl (newcomer Jennifer Lawrence was pitch perfect) desperately searches for her meth-cooking father in order to save her family.

Top 6 Movies Of 2010

Black Swan – 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 – Matt Reeves pulled it off – the remake that holds its own against the original. Every change made sense....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
