Shopgirl (2005) A good little story not trying to take on too much. What makes a relationship work? What makes a person …

Stranger Than Fiction (2006) I felt this was an original idea for a story and it was well told and acted. SPOILERS …

Lucky Number Slevin (2006) Lots of big names, but Josh Hartnett pretty much cancels all that out. I bet it was a …

What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? (2004) Thought provoking, but a pretty dangerous movie. They certainly take a lot of leaps in …

Marche de l’empereur, La (2005) Good movie. They do a good job of taking a relatively simple story and making it interesting. …

A post on my thoughts on the book: “Me, Myself, & Bob” – my thoughts

Open Season (2006) I can’t really say too much about this. We watched it w/ our son and I was probably more …

Just Like Heaven (2005) Cute, but unoriginal, cliché, predictable, sappy, cheesy w/ sub-par acting, imo. I get no joy in saying those …

Jésus de Montréal (1989) Great film. Only slightly dated too. The premise is an actor is hired to put on a Passion …

The Station Agent (2003) Some semi-spoilers mixed in… There’s a lot of imagery in this movie especially revolving around trains which is …

Night at the Museum (2006) A good, light, fun movie that doesn’t try to be too much. Owen Wilson stands out in …

Unknown (2006) I wanted to like this movie b/c it has so many things that appeal to me: I hadn’t heard of …

The Aviator (2004) Great acting. Blanchett, Alda and DiCaprio are at their best in my opinion. Unfortunately, it’s hard for me to …

Elizabethtown (2005) I heard this movie compared to “Garden State” and while I can see that, I think “Garden State” is considerably …

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) Meryl Streep was great. Undeniable. The story was fair and somewhat cliche and/or predictable though not done …

Crash (2004/I) I think my expectations were too high for this. So many people said it was great. I think I see …

Rocky II (1979) I have to say this movie was better in my memory than on DVD. 🙂 The story was thin …

Derailed (2005/I) Good tension and characters. Just about everyone in this movie makes you feel uneasy/uncomfortable. Even the sick daughter just makes …

Serenity (2005) I really liked the series (last post) and enjoyed the movie too. I think the movie was a great extension …

“Firefly” (2002) I really enjoyed this series and though I’m bummed it was cancelled a) it’s nice to be able to see …

JFK (1991) This is a good film, but sdn’t be taken as the truth or even close to it. This is the …

Narc (2002) Very powerful performances and story. Quite intense. I really enjoyed the ‘ride’ thru this and trying to figure out who …

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006) A 4 may seem high for this movie. Especially since it seems to get such poor reviews/ratings other …

Thank You for Smoking (2005) Unfortunately I accidentally posted a draft for this post on a different blog and just now realized …

The Sentinel (2006) Again a forgotten post… I don’t remember it well and probably wdn’t recommend it so it gets a 2.5 …

Primer (2004) I really liked this movie. (UPDATE: I went back and up’ed my rating of this movie so the next couple …

Friends with Money (2006) A non-story w/ great characters. A bad story told well. Depressing life situations for people who do it …

Heat (1995) Great acting and ‘big’ idea movie. The action is subtle and the relationships all around are tense. I kept finding …

Rocky Balboa (2006) Given the history, they did a great job. It was quite a trip down memory lane for a lot …

Titanic (1997) Good characters and good action/intensity. The ‘running through every hallway on every deck of the boat’ during the second half …
