| The White Ribbon (Das weisse Band) - R | I love Peter Travers's reviews in Rolling Stone, and he has this to say: "a toxic blossom of images that burn into your memory". I guess I'm there. | December 28, 2009 | N/A | |||
| It's Complicated - R | I love it that we've invented terminology that places awkwardness into a social category recognized as normal. Like this: http://xkcd.com/355/. | December 17, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Twilight Saga: New Moon - PG-13 | Taylor Lautner's abs are truly the most superhuman aspect of this film. | December 13, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Open Road - PG-13 | November 19, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - R | November 19, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel - PG |
I like words. I like funny words. I like onomatopoetic words. But "squeakuel" is just too much. With that in the title, I do not have high hopes for this movie. And yes, I had to Google onomatopoeia to make sure it was the word I was looking for. |

| Bowling for Columbine - R |
I remember that some parts of this movie were informative, and some hilarious. So yeah - I was entertained, my opinions on firearms were validated, and I walked away with some shiny new arguments on a subject wholly theoretical to me. However, the part that sticks out (spoiler, obv.) is when he took the kids who were injured in the shooting to the KMart headquarters and stayed until they agreed to ban handgun ammunition. The fact that the making of this film resulted in a victory like that - and also empowered victims of a related tragedy - makes me happy. |

| The Men Who Stare at Goats - R |
!!! What's not to like? "The story of a secret unit within the US Army called the First Earth Battalion, whose paranormal military ideas mutated over the decades to influence interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay." |

| Antichrist - Unrated |
OK, this looks way intense. I'm sure it's good, but watching it sounds like an exercise in masochism: "The images will singe your eyeballs." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone. I'll stash it away in case I ever have a moment of extreme self-loathing. |

| Lymelife - R | sucks to have your town synonymous with a disease. better than Ebola though, I guess. | October 29, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Land of the Lost - PG-13 | hmmm, lost. | October 29, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Michael Jackson's This Is It - PG | October 28, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver - Unrated | powerless in the face of awful, awful puns | October 27, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Beetle Juice (Beetlejuice) - PG | October 26, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Saw VI - R | October 23, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant - PG-13 | Well, I've mostly been staying away from Theme Vampire (except for Buffy), but I am intrigued. First, the idea of a vampire's assistant is interesting. Second, "Cirque du Freak" is a catchy name. Third, Mazzy Star + The Chemical Brothers in the trailer is pretty cool. | October 19, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Amelia - PG | Yes. 1) Holy hardcore trans-Pacific-flying woman. Represent, Amelia, represent. 2) Awesome 1930s era fashion. 3) Hilary Swank is incredible. Boys Don't Cry, anyone? 4) Mira Nair is amazing. Monsoon Wedding, anyone? 5) ALL MCGREGORS ARE WAY HOT. Yes, Ewan, that means you. | October 14, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Monsoon Wedding - R | October 14, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Juno - PG-13 | I did think a lot of the dialogue was over the top, but Ellen Page's delivery was pretty awesome. I can respect that. As for the basic message of the film, it makes some excellent observations about love, commitment, and how appearances can be deceiving. | October 8, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Fragments (Winged Creatures) - R | well, I haven't seen this movie. but flying sounds nice. | September 21, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Jennifer's Body - R | You've gotta learn how to say nooooooooooo… but I'll agree to see this movie so this will publish to my news feed. hopefully. | September 16, 2009 | N/A | |||
| A Clockwork Orange - R | I wrote a paper on this in college. I don't remember what it was about. I also dont remember much about the movie. I know this is shameful, given that it's a classic and all. Whatever. I got an A, that was my main concern. I'll give it three stars for that. | September 11, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Taking Woodstock - R | oh say can you see... | September 10, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Five Minutes of Heaven - Unrated | August 21, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| My One and Only - PG-13 | August 21, 2009 | N/A |
