The Dark Knight - PG-13

Yes, Heath Ledger was brilliant - and he was. But if Aaron Eckhart had died tragically, we'd all be talking about how brilliant he was. If Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, even William Fichtner had died, we'd be talking about them. Truly a movie that works on every single level. It's a comic book movie, an action movie, suspense in the truest sense. When the biggest criticisms I can give, if pressed are, "In that one scene, that one moment was a bit much," we're talking an amazing movie.

Fargo - R

One part comedy, one part film noir, one part tragedy and one part documentary. This film holds up even better on repeat viewings. The Coen Brothers transform the Midwest into a barren, desolate landscape in which simple people become cartoon characters who are nonetheless more human in their isolation. This is far and away one of the best films of the '90s.

Superman: The Introduction (The Death Ray) (The Mad Scientist) - Unrated
|

As an introduction to the influential cartoon series goes, it's pretty good. The art deco backgrounds and moody lighting would be a trademark of the series, and they still look cool today. Unfortunately, this first installment is hurt a little by some of the more schticky elements, like the vulture. Still, better shorts were to come.

Live Free or Die Hard - PG-13

Exciting in the parts where it's supposed to be exciting and generally fun. It's also not quite as heavy on the "leave your brain at the door" as you'd expect it to be. A good continuation of the popcorn flick franchise.

It is what it's supposed to be, a cute family movie. I laughed and had a good time. I haven't seen the first two films, but this is hardly the sort of movie where you worry about spoilers or getting lost in the plot. If this is any indication, I'd like to see the other two.

Lars and the Real Girl - PG-13

A really good little flick. The entire cast was spot-on and look like they're from Wisconsin (not something you usually see in Hollywood movies), which gives it almost a documentary feel. Ryan Gosling's performance is stunning in its subtlety and innocence - I'd compare it to Jack Lemmon in "The Apartment," which is VERY high praise. He deserves an Oscar nomination, period. The film could stand to be 15 minutes shorter, especially in the last half, but overall, it's one of the most touching, sweet and original romantic comedies I've ever seen.

I watched this movie with friends. We kept making fun of it and talking back to the screen. It was a pretty good movie. Then we'd try to stop and listen to the dialogue. It wasn't such a good movie anymore. The hovercraft chase looked cool, though, and Yoda's fight was fine but not nearly as cool as people wish it had been.
