Crazy, Stupid, Love

Honest-to-god LOL funny & Gosling is amazing as always. I normally hate rom-coms but I loved this. 4/5

Maxed Out

The information was great & informative. The politics? Not so much, especially with ACORN as a contributor. Shame. 3/5

Smokey and the Bandit

How did it take me this long to see this film? It's an awfully good time - I loved Gleason tremendously. 4/5

Forged

Manny Perez is outstanding in this compelling indie drama about a tortured father-son relationship. Beautifully done. 4/5

Forged on Netflix

Lady Vengeance

The finale of Park's revenge trilogy, while gorgeously shot, is the weakest with an overly abstract plot. 3/5

Modern Times

Dear God, thank you for Charlie Chaplin. He always makes me laugh & feel so very happy. Yours truly, Donna. 5/5

Super 8

What was a good idea was thoroughly ruined with sappy choices, bad direction & sentimental music. Such a shame! 2.75/5

Captian America: The First Avenger

FINALLY! Marvel gets it shit together with this fun & action-packed thrill ride. I have hope again! 4.5/5

The Tree of Life

WOW. This is possibly the most overrated film I've seen in a long time, and that's saying something. Ponderous, tedious, and virtually without a point, this film drags on so slowly and endlessly I fast-forwarded most of it. The only reason it gets half a star is Brad Pitt was engrossing and it WAS beautiful, but, in this case, beauty is simply not even close to enough. Save yourself, don't rent this! 1.5/5

The Gold Rush

I have yet to see a Chaplin film that I didn't absolutely adore. Hilarious & heartwarming - can't beat it! 5/5

How To Rob A Bank

The acting in this was just horrid across the board & the plot was completely predictable. Bah. 2/5

The Roommate

So, "Single White Female" with college students, except no one can act & the plot is even thinner? Got it. Pass. 2/5

Morninig Glory

This movie was honest-to-God LOL funny, but only for the second half. Acting was spot on though - I'm mixed. 3.5/5

Morning Glory on Netflix

13

This taut thriller was stylish & intriguing with a totally awesome score, it just needed a stronger lead. Good, not great. 3.5/5

Death Note L: Change the WorLd

This isn't a Death Note movie but rather an excuse to let Matsuyama be f'n awesome as L again. 4/5

Swing Time

Seriously, does it get more divine than watching Fred & Ginger dance? I highly doubt it! Lovely. 4.5/5

Swing Time on Netflix

Finishing the Game

This satire is particularly biting & funny, but it's the period-faithfulness that really makes it work. 3/5

Finishing the Game on Netflix

Terri

This is a wonderful, sweet, funny, touching & achingly well-acted coming-of-age dramedy - really good stuff & LOL worthy. 4/5

The Real Dirt on Farmer John

This rambling & nonsensical documentary never really scratches below the surface. Shame. 2/5

Havoc

Well, it was nice to try and make a better version of "Black & White" but this fake crap didn't really cut it for me. 2.5/5

Havoc on Netflix

Adam Resurrected

This is possibly the most powerful portrayal of trauma & survivor's guilt I've ever seen. Magnificent. Jeff Goldblum was absolutely beyond amazing in this. I had no idea he was capable of such a performance. Just...wow. 4/5

Death Note II: The Last Name

This very worthy sequel is in every way the equal of the original in quality. Simply stunning. 5/5

Beautiful Boy

Sheen & Bello are just magnificent in this heart-wrenching drama that gave me both chills & tears. So powerful. 5/5

Beautiful Boy on Netflix

The General

This silent film is utterly charming & Buster Keaton's dead-pan look is just hilarious. A true classic. 5/5

Every Day

It started out okay & ended up just beginning another film about people behaving badly. I'm just so over it. 2.5/5
