Paris Je T'aime - R
|
|
An impressive assortment of filmmakers team up to direct a hit and miss collection of shorts based in Paris. It's a lot of fun just for the sheer variety of the stories and styles, but for me only a couple were somewhat memorable.

Jackass 2.5 - R
|
|
I dug the first two Jackass movies, but this one is direct to video for a reason. The laughter within the Jackass crew is still pretty infectious, but this feels like leftovers with some behind the scenes footage and interviews edited in after the fact. Maybe worth a rental.

3:10 to Yuma - R
|
|
Pretty awesome modern take on the western genre. Pretty tough to go wrong with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, but Ben Foster is the biggest surprise in the movie. I did find the ending a little hard to swallow, but I tip my hat nonetheless.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - R
|
|
One of the more interesting musicals I've seen in recent years (which isn't saying much). I appreciated the geysers of blood spraying about in the spirit of the Grand Guignol, but the songs were pretty dull and Tim Burton's direction was surprisingly uninspired. I guess I was hoping for a little more dark humour and fun visuals to accompany the songs. Sacha Baron Cohen's performance was one of the few highlights, however.

Maxed Out - Unrated
|
|
Interesting although somewhat unremarkable documentary about the phenomenon of credit card debt in the United States. Some of the individual stories weren't quite as interesting to me as the big picture; which is why I wish they had delved more into the house of cards that the U.S. economy is now built on.

There Will Be Blood - R
|
|
Although brilliant on a technical and a purely artistic level, the story at times failed to engage me and felt emotionally hollow. Then again, it's 2 and a half hour period piece about a greedy oil prospector... what more should we expect? There Will Be Blood is primarily a slow, methodical character study that relies heavily on Daniel Day-Lewis's performance, although in some ways Paul Dano impressed me even more.
