I'm so far behind on my movie reviews, I'm going to go the quick and dirty route. See below. No, I don't know why there's all that dead space in there.
| Movie | Genre | Rating | Blurb |
| Flags of Our Fathers | War | Excellent | Heroes from battle of Iwo Jima are used to sell war bonds |
| Letters From Iwo Jima | War | Even better | That same battle from the Japanese perspective |
| The Last King of Scotland | History | Excellent | Forest Whitaker is amazing playing Idi Amin. A friend of mine asked, "King of Scotland? He is black?" ;-) |
| Doctor Jeckyll and Mister Hyde | Horror | Good | Classic with Spencer Tracy |
| American Gangster | Crime | Very good | Great late 60s / early 70s feel in a different type of gangster movie |
| SuperBad | Comedy | Good | Funny, gross, silly, McLovin |
| Ratatouille | Comedy | Great | Animated tale of a cooking rat in Paris. Some of the graphics were terrifying - the rats looked way too real. Some were just striking, e.g. Ego's trip back to his childhood. |
| License to Wed | Romantic Comedy | Ok | Predictable but cute. Robin Williams is a blast, as he usually is. |
| Bad Santa | Crime Comedy | Raunchy | Yes, "Raunchy" is a rating. Very crude, with some extremely funny bits. Lauren Graham was great. |
| Waiting... | Comedy | Ok | Describes the wonderful work environment in a not-quite-fast-food restaurant |
| Kevin Smith Speaks | Lecture | Good | If you're a fan, it's fabulous. He does the lecture circuit, stopping at a number of universities. He's very engaging. |
| Babel | Drama | Very good | Interesting interweaving stories |
| 3:10 to Yuma | Western | Good | Apparently a remake. Kind of has that feel of an old western. Gritty, but not to the degree of an Unforgiven. |
