No Country for Old Men (2007, R)
It won best picture so it's not going to be my little secret gem so everyone see it and enjoy it. It's a Fargo styled like story that takes place in Texas. The villan is scary, the story is simple but is told intellegently, and for a film that has no music is just such an amazing flim. |

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007, R)
A gripping, tough to watch, and heart breaking drama about two brother who plan to steal from thier parent's jewelry store, but lets just say, things don't go according to plan. Directed by the over 85 yearold director, Sidney Lumet, who has directed some of my favorites Dog Day Afternoon and Twelve Angry Men. |

The Dark Knight (2008, PG-13)
Best Super Hero Movie Ever. That's not coming from a comic book nerd, that's coming from me, someone who watches the Oscars religiously every year. I couldn't be more pleased with this film, it exceeded my very high expectations and under the direction of Christopher Nolan, he has brought art to Hollywood with this dark and sophisticated super hero flick. If Heath Ledger, who steals the show, doesn't get an Oscar Nomination for best supporting actor I will donate my left nut to Lance Armstrong. One of my favorite things about this film, is the little use of CGI and the high use of good old fashioned stunt work. It's very refreshing to find that a big summer blockbuster can actually contain great filmmaking skills. You can say its over rated and you can say it's too long, but you can't say it's not amazing. |

i have a guilty pleasure for jim carrey films, new released comedies that are actually good (there are not a lot of them), and entertaining timeless classics.
