Doctor Who (new): Season 4

"Sorry, I'm the Doctor, I'm very clever." You definitely were.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/

Precious

How on God's green earth have I never encountered Mo'Nique before? Holy moley.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929632/

Me and Orson Welles

Efron is probably the most beautiful boy in the world. Funny thing, though. He can act.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1175506/

Salt

Ten years ago I would not have pegged Jolie as an action star. She's besting Weaver at this point.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944835/

The Other Guys

Best part of the film? The ending graphics detailing Ponzi schemes, bailouts and bonuses.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386588/

Sweet and Lowdown

Samantha Morton, playing a mute, is impossible to take your eyes off of.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158371/

The Expendables

Really? Short jokes at Li's expense? Pathetic.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320253/

Knight and Day

Combined fading star power = one enjoyable and mostly amusing flick.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1013743/

Shrek Forever After

What I most appreciate is that nobody questions why Fiona is in charge of the ogre camp.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892791/

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 1

Don't be put off by the title or the fact it's a kid's animation. Pretty darn grown-up in terms of story and style.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417299/

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

Speed up Xenophilius Lovegood drawing the glyph and you have enough time to add in the good-bye scene with Dudley.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0926084/

Surrogates

Props to the writers for handling the comic's complexity, but longer than 88 minutes would have been advisable.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986263/

Blood Diamond

Glad I only have a chip. Although I'm guessing sapphires are mined and distributed in the same conditions.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450259/

Doctor Who (new): Season 3

"This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes ding when there's stuff."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/

Dexter: Season 4

When Dexter is saying "too many messes," you can fault the writing.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/

Miss Congeniality

I wanna be Sandra Bullock when I grow up.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212346/

Underworld

I wasn't aware there were Films in Competition for Matrix-look-alikes.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320691/

World's Greatest Dad

Black comedy? More like your life as a misery-laden nightmare.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1262981/

A Christmas Carol (2009)

Methinks Carrey's been watching a little too much of the Alastair Sim version.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1067106/

Get Him to the Greek

This is not geek chic. This is lame road trip.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226229/

Doctor Who (new): Season 2

Okay, okay, I understand all the hoopla over David Tennant now. Best adjective to describe him: sparkly.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/

2012

The whole Mayan-calendar-end-of-the-world thing is false, so that pretty much invalidates your film, Mr. Emmerich.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190080/

Please Give

Even more poignant and relevant than Friends With Money. With an even better final punchline.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0878835/

Splice

Silly science depicted by super smart actors.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1017460/

Stealing Home

50s white bread living. Sexy underwear. Oh, and Harmon and Ramis singing "Poison Ivy."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096171/

Red

Solid comic book adaptation. Malkovich should do more of these; nigh on perfect fit.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1245526/

Robin Hood (2010 version)

Star power has the surprising ability to keep a film afloat...just.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955308/

Predators

I won't say it's a snooze fest because it's too loud for that. Dull fest?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424381/

TiMER

Ms. Caulfield doesn't shine outside Buffy.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179794/

Stargate: Atlantis: Season 5

As much as I'll miss McKay, it was time to put this puppy to bed.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374455/

JCVD

I believe Van Damme makes his point: aging action stars should not be making action films any longer.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130988/

House (1977 version)

An oh-so-slightly more campy version of And Then There Were None.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076162/

SGU Stargate Universe: Season 1

Finally, Stargate matures to the level of "smart" sci-fi show.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1286039/

Stargate: Atlantis: Season 4

Ha! Love episodes like "Trio". Funny that they did a MacGyver-esque episode after SG-1 ends.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374455

How to Train Your Dragon

OK, they're kitty-cats! No, wait, they're bees! No, wait, they're... anything we want them to be.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892769/

Modern Family: Season 1

This is probably the closest we'll get to another Arrested Development. I'm half okay with that.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442437/

Invictus

Eastwood may be a marvel overall, but his dry, spare style doesn't suit emotional, inspirational stories.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1057500/

Stargate: Atlantis: Season 3

I'm not sure why it took me 3 seasons to appreciate McKay. Pretty tough acting the part of an insufferable, yet endearing, character.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374455/

Micmacs

As ebullient and effusive and entrancing as any Jean-Pierre Jeunet film, but the plot felt more fly-away than usual.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1149361/ (Original title: Micmacs à Tire-Larigot)

Happy-Go-Lucky

It's not "Secrets & Lies" but watching a Mike Leigh film is always a jaw-dropping event.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1045670/

The Secret of Kells

Circular = good. Square = bad. Why?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485601/

An Education

Strange ending. The redeeming quality is the subtle portrayal of all types of women of the times.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1174732/

The Guild: Season 4

I can't decide whether the painting or the proposal is the best part of this season. Wait, it was the pirates!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1138475/

Stargate: Atlantis: Season 2

At least Ronon is a far more interesting character than Ford ever was. Or is.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374455/

The Social Network

Mis-communication and heartbreak cause Internet success. Pettiness ruins it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/

The Black Hole

It had me from the overture. (Really? An overture?? Oh, that's right, it's a musical.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078869/

Ink

Stumbled on this amazing little fable. Don't be deceived by its indie cred, it's up there with the big boys.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1071804/

Chuck: Season 1

Zachary Levi is probably the celebrity I'd like least to have dinner with, even though he's probably the most like me.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0934814/

Stargate: Atlantis: Season 1

Nyeh. I'd rather be watching another season of SG-1, really.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374455/

Date Night

That trailer was the movie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1279935/

Star Trek: Season 2 (restored)

"The Doomsday Machine", "I, Mudd" and "Trouble with Tribbles"? The second season may end up being my favorite.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060028/

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

If that isn't a subtle comment on W and the Iraq war, I don't know what it is.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075/

Friends: Season 9

It's been slowly dawning on me that Matt LeBlanc actually is the best actor of the bunch. And I don't think anyone on the show is a slouch.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108778/

Metropolis (reconstructed & restored)

Best pro-union and anti-technology silent film? Sells it short.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017136/

City Island

This is The Sopranos as a bedtime story.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1174730/

Doctor Who (new): Season 1

Wow. That went from lukewarm to phenomenal in the space of 3 episodes. Game show from hell just came outta nowhere.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/

Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1983

...Unfortunately, the ending comes to a crashing halt with the reveal of a character who was obviously suspicious from the beginning. (Great visuals, though.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259573/

Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1980

...But perhaps they were setting us up for this one, which is really all about corruption and happens to have the Yorkshire Ripper as a focal point...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1260581/

Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1974

Some introduction to past events would have been helpful for us foreigners...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259574/

The Guild: Season 3

Nice to see Wil Wheaton, as wooden an actor as he is. And if you haven't watched "(Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar," where've you been?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1138475/

The Young Victoria

A surprisingly rote telling of the fortunes of the young Queen, and yet also surprisingly engaging. (Keep your ears peeled, you'll need them.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0962736/

Event Horizon

That was... terrible. As only a bad sci-fi movie can be terrible: all plot, no point.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119081/

The Losers

Much better. What a comic book adaptation should be: knows it's a ridiculous conceit to begin with and covers up for it by being clever.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480255/

The Messenger

Ben Foster should get every part he's ever wanted. He has to be a producer's dream.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790712/

Kick-Ass

No, you see, you make a movie that's both moral and amoral and it's like slapping the dog and petting it at the same time.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1250777/

Green Zone

Production design question: How do you green screen a Spanish city to create the Republican Palace? Even if it's a matte painting, how do you stitch it in?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947810/

North Face

Wins the award for most relevant soundtrack: pitons being driven into a mountainside.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844457/ (Original title: Nordwand)

The Ghost Writer

Zero style until the last shot makes for a very boring film.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139328/

Crazy Heart

I think Bridges' character sums it up: country, done right.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1263670/

Doctor Who: Season 6

It certainly took a long time to reach the explanation of the Doctor's absence from his homeworld and fear of his own people.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056751/

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

If you haven't read the comic books, you'll likely love the movie. If you have read the comic books, this might be a little less fun, since it's pretty much the comics on screen.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446029/

The Guild: Season 2

Currently, Felicia Day tops my list of people I'd most like to have dinner with. (Mathematician, violinist, gamer, book reviewer and actress? Duh.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1138475/

Peep Show: Season 1

Friends guaranteed belly laughs. Not so much. Definitely odd, though.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387764/

Friday Night Lights: Season 4

It may be soap opera, but it's downright spot-on soap opera. Heck, the characters even talk over each other.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758745/

Stargate: Continuum

Just the saddest thing in the world, seeing Carter, Mitchell and Jackson being given "regular" lives.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929629/

Stargate: The Ark of Truth

I'll admit to a very large "WHAT?" when those little buggers appeared on the Odyssey.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942903/

Stargate SG-1: Season 10

Somewhere in season 10, some corporal says "We have the weirdest job ever." I'd like to commend SG-1 on its weirdness, and I look forward to more in Atlantis and Universe.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

Stargate SG-1: Season 9

Black! Browder! Better writers! Better class of villain! Better everything! Yay!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

Stargate SG-1: Season 8

Sorry, guys, tired of your on-again, off-again attempts at a romantic relationship between O'Neill and Carter.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

Hot Tub Time Machine

It seems to always be a worthwhile proposition to cash in on your past.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1231587/

The Guild: Season 1

Trying to follow what Bladezz is saying is most entertaining.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1138475/

Deadwood: Season 3

The theme for season 3, not meant to be the final season: buy local.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348914/

Inception

Always I will be impressed when the resolution of a film's theme comes down to its final few seconds. (Although I expect the writer started with those final few seconds.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/

Alice in Wonderland

Probably the most detached film I've ever seen. Read: detached = devoid of life and soul.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/

The Book of Eli

Religious trope? Library love? End of days? Yes, all three, it would seem.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1037705/

Mary and Max

Goldfish coming to sad, sudden ends, more than one explanation for how babies are made, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as the voice of Max. This could not be any better of a film.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0978762/

Creation

Such a good beginning, then it falls apart after the realistic decay scene.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0974014/

Brothers

Um, war sucks? (I wonder how the original Danish film, Brødre, ended.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765010/

MI-5: Season 7

Oh, disappointed. Those last 2 episodes could have been a little less in-your-face obvious, no?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160904/ (Original title: Spooks)

Stargate SG-1: Season 7

More and more intriguing. I hope there are more episodes like "Heroes"-- why can't Andy Mikita and Robert C. Cooper pull these out of their hats more often?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

The Crazies

Inappropriate to say "damn good remake" since I never saw the original, so how about "damn good creepy horror film"?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455407/

V (1983 mini-series)

The best part of this abysmal series is the marching band playing an out-of-tune Star Wars theme on arrival of the aliens to Podunk, U.S.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085106/

Sita Sings the Blues

Reminded me of Moulin Rouge a bit, in regards to the overabundance of visual styles, colors and sounds you'll experience.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172203/

Party Down: Season 2

Steve Guttenberg's birthday? Best of the batch this year.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073507/

Toy Story 3

I didn't get truly geeked about version 3 until the final escape sequence, so that doesn't put it at the top of my Pixar list. Worthy successor, however.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435761/

Shutter Island

Within the first 5 minutes, I knew it would be overlong, not tension-filled, and a big cheat. Which isn't all bad, but just not worth the time.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130884/

Youth in Revolt

Oddly stilted dialogue, but not styled to best effect. See "Brick" instead.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0403702/

Sex and the City 2

Here's the next movie: "Sex and the City 3: The Girls Help the Poor." Wouldn't that be a breath of fresh air?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1261945/

Lifeboat

Stick a bunch of people in a situation there's no getting out of, and you have a film about the human condition. There are others, but this one is at the top.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037017/

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Initially a delight, but finally, a narrative mess.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054606/

The National Parks: America's Best Idea

Far, far better would have been to make a 2.5 hour documentary, comprised of the entire last episode and smatterings of the previous five.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1464482/

The Gay Divorcee

If I were Ginger Rogers, I'd hate those costumes. So hot in all that foofera, you can't see her feet, and didn't they make her trip?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025164/

Glee: Season 1, Volume 2

I am certain Kurt's dad has done more for gay rights than any other TV or movie character. Ever.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1327801/

Stargate SG-1: Season 6

Corin Nemec, such a... nice boy. Never could you dream of filling Shanks' shoes.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

The Secret in Their Eyes

Formalistic, but certainly not formulaic. Best thriller I've seen all year, or even last year.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305806/ (Original title: El Secreto de Sus Ojos)

The Blind Side

Yes, it was a tearjerker. Yes, it was a comedy. Yes, it was elevated by Bullock.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0878804/

A Serious Man

This IS about fate, right? What else could those final two scenes be saying?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1019452/

Whip It

Someone had entirely too much fun making their movie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172233/

Flashforward: Season 1

Mounds better than the book. What a pity they didn't get to keep trying.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441135/

The Boat That Rocked

Who cares if it's 95% fictitious and totally over the top? Long live...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131729/

House M.D.: Season 6

Surprised they focused even one episode on someone other than House, but I wish they'd do that again. (Even if I understand insurance less than before watching it.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412142/

24: Season 8

Most of all, I'm going to miss Gregory Itzin as Iago, oops, wrong drama, as President Charles Logan.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285331/

Lost: Season 6

The last Lost had enough of a lasting impression to make me lose sleep.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/

MI-5: Season 6

Oof, that one was especially disheartening.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160904/ (Original title: Spooks)

The X Files: Season 9

I know this was the granddaddy of modern sci-fi shows, and I don't know if I'd call it dated at this point, but can I call it contrived?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106179/

Daybreakers

Superior concept, but did we have to go the buckets o' blood way? (Literally, in some scenes they were flinging it by the pailful.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433362/

Emma

There is an egregious lack of actors who can show emotions on their face and not look like clowns doing it. Romola Garai is one of them.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1366312/

Iron Man 2

Pride goeth? Some surprisingly awful lines, a sad-sack of a Stark for the first 2/3 of the flick, and what was with Sam Rockwell's orange hands?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1228705/

Inglourious Basterds

It would seem that this is simply an exercise in creating tension within a scene. Otherwise, hasn't it all been done before?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361748/

Fantastic Mr. Fox

The moral of the story is: let wild animals be wild? Or is it: understand your own nature? Or perhaps: humans kinda suck?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0432283/

Friends: Season 8

Actually, really touched by all the mommy business in this season.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108778/

The Princess and the Frog

Song and dance = stellar. Characters = captivating. Ending = eh.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780521/

Stargate SG-1: Season 5

So, Michael Shanks' contract negotiations didn't work out for the switch from Showtime to SyFy?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

Cold Souls

Doesn't even matter if it's existential noodling, Paul Giamatti is consistently engaging.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1127877/

This Is It

Surprisingly, I think this flick gives you a sense of M.J. the person.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1477715/

Felicity: Season 4

I'm going to guess that some folks hated how Abrams ended this show, but I think it's prescient of his later work.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134247/

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans

At least the alligator-eye view was entertaining. Far more Herzog-like than the rest of the flick.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1095217/

Deadwood: Season 2

Actually, the oddest character is Bullock. He is the very definition of wishy-washy.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348914/

Vincere

I really don't know where to begin: awful plotting, ridiculous nudity, historical drama without the history, characters you cannot empathize with...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1156173/

Stargate SG-1: Season 4

It took them 4 seasons + one episode to figure out how to create a cliffhanger.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Stupid and silly are all well and good, but you need to make people care about all the stupid silliness.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234548/

All Creatures Great and Small: Season 7

Frankly, I'm glad it's over. Although I will miss Robert Hardy playing Siegfried Farnon with vim and vigor.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075472/

All Creatures Great and Small: Season 6

I'd bet that the real reason this show was so popular was to see actors sticking their hands up cows.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075472/

The X Files: Season 8

I'm sorry, are you kidding me with your over-the-top, way-too-obvious Christianity references?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106179/

The Informant!

To say anything about this film is to give away the reveal. Just watch it for Matt Damon's incredible performance.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130080/

Everybody's Fine

Elements of truth that hit home. Enough to create a movie with? Not so much.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780511/

Stargate SG-1: Season 3

I'm a bit confused. How are they able to push the envelope while using such tried and true stories? ("A Hundred Days"-- oy.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

The Damned United

Understood maybe 14 words in the whole film, but working class England stole my heart. (Does it really always rain?)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226271/

Up in the Air

While there are many great things about this film, Vera Farmiga playing the male career stereotype (which I didn't see until after watching) was the most brilliant.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1193138/

Stargate SG-1: Season 2

They surprise me with stuff like "Spirits" and "The Fifth Race" and then come out with groaners like "Holiday" and "1969." Be more consistent!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

Adam

Why does every drama or romance or comedy have to redeem by teaching nowadays?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185836/

Bright Star

The red-light-green-light scene trumps the rest of Jane Campion's thoughtful direction and heartfelt script.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810784/

Stargate SG-1: Season 1

Michael Shanks vs. Ben Browder? Can't wait for season 8.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/

My One and Only

Getting a little tired of Zellweger acting like Zellweger.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185431/

Party Down: Season 1

The porn star banquet and the Russian mob celebration are my favorite eps so far. (Yup.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073507/

The Invention of Lying

Unintended consequence: anti-religious? Pity.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1058017/

Departures

What a fascinating profession, casketing. And, oh, so very Japanese.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1069238/ (Original title: Okuribito)

The Hurt Locker

Hubby thinks this is about futility. I think it's about addiction. It's safe to assume we're both right.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887912/

Whiteout

Cons: the editing, the sound, the abysmal acting, the confusing final sequence. Pros: original graphic novel drawn by a pal.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365929/

The Proposal

Recipe: basic guy-meets-girl base, peppered with clever lines and shaken between two comedians. Plus: a large dose of hot sauce for Bullock taking it all off.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1041829/

In the Loop

"At the end of a war, you need some soldiers left, really, or else it looks like you've lost." If I were Gandolfini, I would have paid to deliver that line.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226774/

The Brothers Bloom

First half hour: delicious, actorly tics. Rest of film: the fatal mistake of getting too serious.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844286/

Zombieland

Bill Murray is, now, officially the funniest man alive.

A Single Man

I wish I hadn't known who Tom Ford was prior to watching the film. (Colin Firth is pretty stellar, though.)

Pandorum

Really? A 28% rating on Rotten Tomatoes? I'd give it at least a 60%.

Terminator Salvation

Ah. A far better use of the phrase "I'll be back."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0438488/

The Office: Season 1

"John Krasinski, John Krasinski, John Krasinski!" (À la the kid in Monsters, Inc.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386676/

Dollhouse: Season 2

Why couldn't you have hired your brother and sister-in-law for the entire show? What, they were too expensive?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135300/

Grizzly Man

Living in nature becomes a metaphor for knowing one's own nature.

9

Well, what do you think I liked? The cataloging scene, of course!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Cool. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek. Geek.

30 Days of Night

Takes only 30 minutes to kill everyone in town, but takes 45 minutes to wonder whether they're vampires? What, they've never watched a horror movie in Barrow, AK?

Monsters vs. Aliens

Even an animated Stephen Colbert playing the Axel F theme is hysterical.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892782/

(500) Days of Summer

Unique take on the shopworn true-romance tale. Ultra-strong performances, but that last shot? Why?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1022603/

It Might Get Loud

There's no way to not have Jack White look like the young, inexperienced, nervous punk.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1229360/

Sunshine Cleaning

No one actor stands on their own here-- truly, a team effort.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862846/

The Wire: Season 5

It's like watching the slow collapse of a black hole.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306414/

Black Hawk Down

What young-ish male actor is NOT in this film? McGregor, Piven, Bloom, Hartnett, Dancy, Gruffudd, Bana, and on and on...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265086/

Timecrimes

Schrödinger's cat t-shirt on the girl? Nice touch. (First 45 minutes are kind of a slog, bear with it.)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/ (Original title: Los Cronocrímenes)

Dexter: Season 3

No-- Deb and Quinn, not Deb and Anton. Although, I suppose Quinn is a bit too orange for good taste.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/

Without Name

Sweet, romantic stuff. With more than a little dash of violence.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1127715/ (Original title: Sin Nombre)

Avatar (in 3D)

Someone hired a biology consultant. Not so sure about a geology consultant. (Would have been way cooler in IMAX, but the projector broke.)

The Savages

"Mr. Savage, what's the difference between plot and narrative?" Good question.
