The Royal Tenenbaums 5.0 Stars
Took me more than one viewing to realize how great this one really is. Perhaps the ONLY movie where Ben Stiller is actually good.

Christopher Nolan at his best. Also my favorite Guy Pearce movie. I kept wondering when it would be over, but only because I wanted to know what the hell was going on!

Donnie Darko 5.0 Stars
It's so good I don't even know what to say about it. Three out of four members of my immediate family own it and that's a pretty good review as far as I'm concerned.

The Sixth Sense (1999,  PG-13)
The Sixth Sense 5.0 Stars
The only fault I can find with this movie is that it has a Wahlberg in the cast. But it could be worse, it could be Mark and his sevenhead.

Anyone who knows me should be aware that I'm not a comic book fan, but I loved that this movie looked like one.

There's just something fascinating and disturbing (especially in this one) about Christian Bale.

Damn you Madonna! You've single-handedly ruined one of my favorite directors. Go back to your "singing" and leave my movies alone.

Very disturbing and depressing, but also very good. Darren Aronofsky's best so far.

Pi (1998,  R)
Pi 4.5 Stars
Yes, it's black and white, yes, it does not star anyone you will have heard of, and yes, it could be fairly accurately described as "a mathematical thriller", but despite all of that it still manages to be good.

Waking Life (2001,  R)
Waking Life 4.0 Stars
Very slow as there isn't much of a plot (what do you expect from a movie that takes place mostly in a dream), but so beautifully animated that it almost makes up for it.

I love movies that are so good you almost don't even notice what a horrifically bad actor Keanu really is. There are not words to truly describe how beautiful rotoscope animation is.

How can you go wrong with a movie starring Benecio Del Toro and Johnny Depp? And everyone should have their own strap on dinosaur tail.

Snarky, hilarious, but still somehow pretty real. Another classic dramedy much like last year's Little Miss Sunshine. Loooooove the dialogue! Whoa, dream big!

Even better the second time. Another favorite from Christopher Nolan. Christian Bale makes a spectacular tormented anything. See The Machinist if you doubt me.

Okay. You don't hear this very often, but this movie is a masterful art-house gorefest. Right up there with the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre! Watch it with subtitles though, not dubbed.

I have no f***ing clue what these kids are talking about most of the time, but I loved the confusion. I know he's a little young for me, but I now have a bit of a crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Bye Madonna!!! Guy Ritchie is back in full effect! Thank GOD! I won't argue with anyone who claims that this is pretty much just a rehash of all his good movies that came before it, but great shit like that never gets old. Gerard Butler and Toby Kebbell are spot on.

A tad on the slow side, but uniquely told. The good definitely outweighs the bad here. Sad but very endearing.
