Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007,  R)
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 4.5 Stars
Mock me if you want, but combining blood & guts with Broadway singing is just the kind of thing that warms my geeky heart. I enjoyed this movie a great deal, and next payday I'm buying the soundtrack.

Southland Tales (2006,  R)
Southland Tales 4.0 Stars
I really liked this movie, but it certainly did feel like it was missing something Hopefully the DVD will have an extended cut. Also, big kudos to Jon Lovitz, Justin Timberlake, Cheri Oteri, and Sean William Scott for exceeding the low expectations I had for them. They all did good work in this film.

The Golden Compass (2007,  PG-13)
The Golden Compass 3.5 Stars
It was actually pretty good, but at the same time I'm glad I only paid $2.50 for the ticket.

No Country for Old Men (2007,  R)
No Country for Old Men 3.5 Stars
I liked it overall, but the ending left me feeling a little confused. Perhaps if I'd read the book I would understand it, but *SPOILER* I don't get what it's suppsoed to mean that Anton got away with just a broken arm, nor do I know exactly what Tommy Lee Jones's describing his dream in the final sequence is supposed to signify.

Iron Man (Ironman) 5.0 Stars
Awesome! One of the best origin movies I've seen, with a solid cast, a great sense of humor and great action.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008,  PG-13)
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 3.0 Stars
I liked it. It wasn't a great movie but it was fun. That said though, I really did not like that whole thing with the nuclear blast and the fridge. That was just stupid.

The Incredible Hulk (2008,  PG-13)
The Incredible Hulk 3.0 Stars
I liked it quite a bit, and considering I went into it with a bias against it (I preferred the Peter David take on the Hulk as opposed to the classic Jack kirby Hulk which the movie dreew from) I think that says something. Not as good as Iron Man, or Spider-Man, or X-Men, but I still look forward to a sequel and to The Avengers.

Get Smart (2008,  PG-13)
Get Smart 4.5 Stars
A very funny movie that stands on it's won but also gives little nods here and there to the original series.

Hancock (2008,  PG-13)
Hancock 5.0 Stars
I honestly don't get why the critics are ripping on this movie so hard. I thought it was great, and the twist in the middle was very well done. I gave it an extra half-star just to spite all the haters.

War, Inc. (2008,  R)
War, Inc. 5.0 Stars
I enjoyed the hell out of this film. It's a harsh satire, with some sweetness thrown in to soften the edge. I loved it.

The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight 5.0 Stars
The best Batman film to date. Ledger now owns the role of The Joker the way no other actor who has taken on the part has ever done. Aaron Eckhart was also great as Harvey Dent.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (The X Files 2) (2008,  PG-13)
 The X-Files: I Want to Believe (The X Files 2) 3.5 Stars
I really liked it. Not the best X-Files story ever, but a major improvement over the last 2 seasons of the TV series. If they never make another movie, this will be a much more fitting goodbye than what we fans got on television.

Death Race (2008,  R)
Death Race 3.5 Stars
A fun romp. Think of it as The Shawshank Redemption, plus cars and explosions, but minus Oscar caliber talent.

...but ONLY because of the director, and Morgan Freeman.

Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008,  Unrated)
Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story 4.0 Stars
Surprisingly fair, neither hit piece nor fluff piece. Certainly a cautionary tale for anyone of any party who wants to be an operative.
