Jeff Bridges' crowning achievement. The acting and music are superb and are worth the recommendation alone. However, "The Wrestler" is superior in every way.

An Education - PG-13
|

One of the best British films since "Matchpoint". A more sinister ending would have been more appropriate, but the overall tone, pacing, and writing of this film earns it a solid recommendation.

The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream - Unrated

An eye-opening and startling revelation about the mathematics of supply and demand of energy and its inevitable impact on our way of life. I urge everyone and anyone to see one of the most crucial documentaries ever made.

Revolutionary Road - R

Says a lot about societal norms, but Mendes struggles to resolve anything in the final act. Great cast and solid film that would have benefitted from lopping off the last 10 minutes.

Gomorrah (Gomorra) - Unrated
|
|
A greatly inspired film with some some hauntingly indelible scenes. Unfortunately, the movie suffers from a superfluous amount of characters and subplots. Moreover, the story revolves around two hoodlums which don't demand much affection from the audience. This would have made an amazing mini-series, or a solid combination of two or three films for which the material could have been spread out and characters more thoroughly developed. Unlike "The Departed" and "Syriana", this film lacks the powerful punch combination from cramming a dense amount of material into a 2 hour film.

District 9 - R
|
|
Witness a seemingly ridiculous premise and opening act evolve into a rich, complex, and mesmerizing tale. Embedded inside this goofy mockumentary lies character growth as well as a smart, suspenseful hybrid of "The Fly" and "The Fugitive". Be patient with this one, and thy viewer will be rewarded.

Six Shooter - Unrated

This is the weakest of the live action shorts nominated in 2005, although the young man's story about the cow is well worth the investment of 27 minutes.

Treasure Planet - PG
|
|
The opening act is great, and sets our expectations high. However, the characters (and hence the movie) takes a deadly navigational turn when the voyage to treasure planet, and naivety ensues. Given the premise, the story seems to work itself out, like most Disney films do, and ends up at the right destination.
