rules of attraction

*** strangely great. good plot, characters, twists. interesting look at a college campus. surprised by the low rotten tomatoes rating.

the perfect crime

*** a bit extra weird but interesting. good plot. in spanish which means i had to pay attention.

the hurt locker

**** phenomenal war movie. watch it. a few percent of "normal" moments which i understand why. cinematography was awesome. surprisingly only made for 15 million...

amistad

*** i wish i paid more attention. pretty good though from what i caught of it.

to kill a mockingbird

**** one of the best movies all time. it was a nice reminder to see what acting really is.

sin nombre

**** perfect. could not have been done better and watching it second night in a row.

Carriers

* crap

sherlock holmes

*** i should have paid more attention. at home. it was predictably fine.

the road

*** the cinematography was amazing. plot was decent. acting was good. overall i liked it.

the vanishing (french version)

***1/2. well acted, good plot, a bit slow but overall well done. fun to talk about afterwards. could have shown more of the guy searching for the girl.

cape fear

*** all music and great acting. scary. weird to see 90s movies seem "old."

spy game

**1/2 had some charm.

extract

** meh office space - funny

unknown

*1/2 yawn.

the way of the gun

*** got better since jason had commentary on why things were filmed and same writer as usual suspects

the proposal

**1/2 kind of cute but predictable love story.

Avatar

**** flawless. W lora and Gage. At sunset

law abiding citizen

***1/4 would have been 4 stars if not for the crappy ending. its like they gave up and/or ran out of budget. overall worth seeing

world's greatest dad

***1/4 at joe's. great movie. i likey. need to sleep and finish this work.

drag me to hell

*1/2 couldn't believe they actually made this. i like justin long but assumes he says yes to all roles.
