Black Christmas
by BrianThank God, as I'd heard, this film was MUCH better than the pathetic waste of space that was the 2006 remake.
It's not hard to enjoy this film, despite the fact that it was made 34 years ago. Yes, you have to do your best to put yourself in the shoes of a 1974 moviegoer, but it's not too hard.
It was actually creepy, and funny in parts too (intentionally). Also, I laughed at some of the fashion/style of dress (what's up with the white people 'fros?)
Much better and I wish I had seen this one first.Wrong time of the year maybe, but finally got around to seeing this. Worth a rent for sure.
Don't shit your breeches, it's the 1974 version.posted 19 hours ago -

Shutter
by BrianOK, this has been done before, several times...and the whole, "I see Asian dead people" isn't scary or even creepy, but...
It was still better than I thought it was going to be, and it was nice to see Joshua Jackson in a halfways mainstream film for once. I do think he's a good actor who needs a new agent.
There was a "twist" in the middle which I figured out almost right away and a twist at the end which made it cool and enough to make it worth watching the DVD.
I will say that studios either need to abandon the whole genre tho entirely, or do something to liven it up a bit. Maybe a J horror-inspired ORIGINAL non-remake film that's not totally based on dead people haunting the living...Good for fans of Joshua Jackson, or if you a fan of the genre. Otherwise, nothing too special.

In Bruges
by BrianAmazingly funny in a perfectly witty way that says a big FUCK YOU to political correctness and just has a good time with itself.
Also very shocking at times, and expertly acted by Farrell and Gleeson in a way that pulled us in to their characters so well.
YOU must see this!
I must OWN this!Hey, you should really see this!

Get Smart
by BrianOK, I know I had originally decided I didn;t want to see this film but I changed my mind.
And it's pretty decent for what it is. Yes, there are definitely a lot of "funny parts" that just aren't funny (like what was the deal with Bill Murray in the tree?), but I did laugh enough to be mostly satisfied.
I still see Hathaway as a one-trick pony who gets parts for her looks and by playing characters with personalities so close to what I imagine is her own.
Most of you will wait for the DVD. No need to rush out.Funny enough, but nothing amazing. Wait for the DVD.

The Dark Knight
by Brian
Some of you might hate me for this review, but at least read it before you string me from the rafters.
The Dark Knight delivers more than even Iron Man or The Crystal Skull could. And it makes the Incredible Hulk look like a joke. It's easily the best Batman of the franchise,
Bale makes Keaton look frumpy and Clooney Clooney look like a bad joke.
Heath Ledger's performance WAS amazing. I was amazed at how he took all of himself out of the character of the Joker and just WAS the joker.
The supporting characters also were expertly cast and did great job.
The one thing I'm not compelled to do is what I considered a lot of people's over-exaggeration/ I'm not speechless, it didn't make me cry, iy's not the best movie of all time (all of which I read in different reviews_. This, s I said, is just a slight overstatement in my opinion that makes me uncomfortable.
However, I will say that The Dark Knight delivers amazingly as the best "summer film" of this year. It's pacing is near perfect and it is totally deviod of cheesy one-liners and moments that made me cringe.
For all this, it gets five starts from mw. Because it delivers.
But it's not a masterpiece.Go see this now! Dance, monkeys, dance!

Charlie Bartlett
by BrianTo me, the plot/story of Charlie Bartlett is most certainly secondary to that of Anton Yelchin's acting, and the interplay between him and Downey and Davis.
Hope Davis is inspired casting, but this film just really showcases Yelchin's acting ability.
The plot is OK, and the execution is admittedly aimed at a younger audience than I, but it's still fun to watch and will be enjoyable to a wide audience.Hey, you should really see this!

The Dark Knight
by Jason"If I were to have an origin I would want it to be multiple choice" -- The Joker from the graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke. By far one of the most revered lines said by The Joker that gives you a deep look into his insanity. Ironically, this movie plays off that quote as the Clown Prince of Crime can never keep his origin story straight. So yes this movie was well researched into the Batman mythos and is an excellent next installment of the franchise and a great sequel.
The movie has been shrouded in secrecy particularly if we see Harvey Dent as Two-Face, and what the fate of the Joker would be with the death of Heath Ledger. Well this movie does answer both questions and since I'm so evil I'm not telling you the answer. MWAHAHAHAH! Bring on the Batman. Of course our protagonist is still evolving into the hero he is destined to be, and is learning he has changed things forever. Gotham is no longer run by the mob but now by the freaks. Gone are Carmine Falcone, and his mafia and now enter the new breed of criminal Joker, Two-Face, and Scarecrow (yes the latter does appear in the movie but that's all the spoilers I'm giving away). Bruce Wayne will have to adapt to the changing environment and find allies wherever he can. No sign of Dick Grayson, but you do meet the young Barbara Gordon the individual who will be Batgirl.
Expect a lot of twist and turns in this movie as insane as the Joker is he is a brilliant criminal mastermind, who kills without mercy, everyone is expendable to him. This has to be by far the best on screen representation of the Joker to date, sorry Jack Nicholoson and Caser Romero. This of course brings me to Heath Ledger who did a remarkable job in this role. By far his best performance to date as I wasn't seeing Heath, I was seeing The Joker. I agree with Michael Caine's exclamation that Heath deserves an Oscar for his performance. Plus since this was his last starring role a lot of people are going to see this movie, even if they hate Batman.
By far the best Batman movie made. It is dark and edgy. It is difficult to tell where the franchise will go next, but I want to see more Bat-villains, ecspecially the ones who have not been on the big screen before.Hey, you should really see this!

Definitely, Maybe
by BrianI wanted to see this mostly because I am a far of Elizabeth Banks (Scrubs) and it looked like it had potential as far as the rest of the cast goes.
Unfortunately it was really slow and Ryan Reynolds' overly-makeuped/fake-tanned face got on my nerves (make up artists, ease up please!).
It did have a cute ending tho. But it was a struggle getting there.
Nothing special. See if you are a fan of the genre, and especially of one of the actors.See if you are a fan of the genre, or one of the actors. Otherwise not particularly special.

The Dark Knight
by EdgarLadies and gentlemen, The Dark Knight is not an ordinary film, but an extraordinary film, and I'm proud of saying that. The Dark Knight surpasses any possible human expectation and is almost unparalleled in almost every single aspect within films of its genre. I'm about to say why.
Christopher Nolan still applies his already identifiable darker direction for the Batman franchise first seen in Batman Begins (2005), which although it was somewhat a small disappointment and was stupidly called the best film of the year (XD LOL), set a darker tone for Batman as for the plot and characterization goes. This is what still makes The Dark Knight work and makes his films better than any Schumacher-directed Batman crap. "WTF, IS EDGAR COCHRAN ON CRACK? IS HE SAYING THAT THE DARK KNIGHT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY FILM, AND THAT NOLAN DIRECTED A BETTER FILM THAN BURTON DID IN 1989?" Yes, I am, and I never expected me saying that. And I'm not on crack. Christopher Nolan made a better film this year than Burton did in 1989 with his unique, great and original Batman classic.
The script is totally great, beautiful and well-structured. Both Christopher and Jonathan did a splendid job that was perfectly accurate for every single characterization, especially for The Joker, and highly appropriate for the perfect pace and length of the film. Heath Ledger (RIP) built a unique Joker, and an outstandingly crazy, humorous, funny, fun, sadistic, crazy and sarcastic character, which is contrary to my past expectations. Heath Ledger should be extremely proud of the last character he brought to life during his career, which I think it was the greatest. Although there will never be a better Joker than Jack Nicholson, since he was the greatest in bringing that character to the big screen, Heath Ledger adds another style to the character and I was totally shocked in a good way. AND WHAT A TERRIFIC WAY TO INTRODUCE HEATH LEDGER'S CHARACTER: I TOTALLY LOVED THE PENCIL SCENE, AND I ALMOST LAUGHED LIKE MY WHOLE THEATER DID!!
The action sequences are totally breathtaking and amazingly choreographed and edited. I'm one of those guys that say that tons of mindless action sequences most normally tend to deteriorate almost every aspect of the film such as direction, plot, script, character development, among others. The dose of action in The Dark Knight is just fine! I personally prefer the action sequences to have an absence of music so I can analyze aspects such as special effects, editing, cinematography, sound effects and sound editing without any distraction or annoyance. The Dark Knight allowed me all of that, and they are sweet! The action is perfectly done. The Dark Knight has also several menacing moments throughout that made me feel extreme tension and suspense all the time. This film made me feel the adrenaline running through my veins several times, AND THAT ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!
The cast is superb. Christian Bale is still cool, although he keeps making that exaggerated and somewhat annoying accent when he is acting like Batman. Who the hell can hate Michael Caine? He's as great as always. Maggie Gyllenhaal was a better choice than Katie Holmes for Rachel Dawes, since I like her more and is a better actress. Aaron Eckhart was a terrific choice for Harvey Dent (Two-Face). Gary Oldman was OK once again. Morgan Freeman is as good as always, and more hilarious this time. Heath Ledger was the best of them all.
The only facts that I didn't like are that the Two-face character is wasted very quickly (possibly), and that the appearance of The Scarecrow was rather unnecessary. Batman's voice is still annoying, and I hope that it is changed soon in the next Batman film.
All in all, The Dark Knight is not only the second best film Christopher Nolan has made so far, but the best Batman film I have ever seen and the best superhero movie I've ever laid my eyes on. The quality of the film is unbelievable, and talking about its greatness will never make enough justice for it. I was totally blown away, and so will you. Thanks, Nolan, for a dark masterpiece.

Auto Focus
by BrianI had heard about this incident several years ago on one of the ingestigative crime shows and was curious, and have been meaning to watch this film for a while.
Both Kinnear and Dafoe are believeable, if Dafoe creppily so. Makes me curious about what ACTUALLY happened.

Southland Tales
by BrianI guess no one really liked this one that much, or so it seems, but to me this was perfectly in line with Donnie Darko and Richard Kelly.
Jesus H. Christ, Almighty, of course this isn't for everyone, but then neither is Donnie Darko
You have to pay attention, suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride. And I did.
Got this one for my personal collection and I need to watch it again.

Chaos
by BrianWhile not as exciting as, say, Crank or Transporter 2, (or, I hope, The Bank Job and Death Race), Chaos was good enough to keep my attention all the way thru.
Although the plot had been done before, the movie was much better than I was expecting. Despite a severely diluted version of Statham's usally badass characters, surprisingly it was Phillippe and SNIPES (what???!) who went a ways toward saving this from mediocrity.
Def worth a rent on DVD.Hey, you should really rent this!
