The Reader
Heavy drama about one generation dealing with the crimes of another. Kate Winslet’s performance was both incredibly sensitive and terrifying.
Frost/Nixon
An entertaining film based on the famous interviews. Sam Rockwell continues to pwn any film he’s in. And where’s Oliver Platt been?
Repo! The Genetic Opera
I kept waiting for that one moment that would make me really love this film but that never happened. A couple of the songs were really great.
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Pretty boring remake of the 1981 classic. The 3-D was a great idea but it still doesn’t work well with the quick editing of modern films.
The Rocker
I laughed quite a bit during this film about a drummer from an 1980s hair metal band who gets a second chance with his nephew’s new band.
Religulous
I’m not the world’s biggest Bill Maher fan, but this was a very good documentary on the state of world religion.
The Wrestler
A true gem. Its rare when a film ends up being better than I hoped for. Mickey Rourke was born for this role.
Resident Evil: Degeneration
Basically a feature-length video game cut scene based on the video games. Animation is terribly wooden but the story was kind of interesting.
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
The latest film from David Fincher is a technical triumph and a surprisingly touching film too. Cate Blanchett was amazing.
The Zombie Diaries
Good zombie film from England but they broke the golden rule of POV films – never use a traditional score. It totally breaks the realism.
Mirrors
Incredibly boring film. So boring I almost turned it off. It had one good scene you can see right here and save yourself some time.
What We Do Is Secret
Mediocre biopic about the highly influential Darby Crash and The Germs. Great music but the film is kind of disappointing overall.
Let The Right One In
A tender tale from Sweden about two young outcasts falling in love for the first time. And oh yeah, the girl happens to be a vampire.
Brain Dead
Crazy, weird, and fun film from one of my favorite directors from the late 1980s Kevin S. Tenney. Some crazy stuff goes down in this one.
