Amazingly creepy Oscar-nominated movie from Greece. So very strange and compelling. Horrific and hilarious at the same time. A real WTF ending.

Part Billy Joel concert film, part homage to the late Shea Stadium. I really enjoyed this documentary. Joel really can put on a show.

I was thoroughly entertained by this fun take on superheroes and supervillains. David Cross was great as Megamind’s sidekick.

The latest experiment in the cinema of endurance from controversial director Gaspar Noé will probably find cult status among the stoner crowd.

A really well made mockumentary from Norway. The whole mythology was well thought out and the special effects were flawlessly executed.

Documentary about two Tiffany super-fans, oh wait, I mean super-stalkers. It started off pretty funny but ended up incredibly depressing.

This documentary covers much of the same ground already covered by the much better King of Kong. Donkey Kong kill screen coming up!

Documentary based on the wildly popular economics book. I was a bit bored by the sumo wrestling segment, but the rest of segments were good.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
