Big Fish Big Fish PG-13 4.5 Stars
Fantastic tale about one man's unbelievable life...though I'd typically shy away from Uk actors doing Southern accents (Ewan McGregor in this case, Jude Law in Cold Mountain and All the King's Men...)
Half Nelson Half Nelson R 4.5 Stars
How Ryan Gosling got snubbed the Oscar for this role I'll never know. If only Mr. Dunne had been my eighth grade teacher....drugs and all. Not one of those typical white teacher-inner city student movies.
Smokin' Aces Smokin' Aces R 3.0 Stars
Soooo predictable but it's nice to see Ryan Reynolds making something of himself and Alicia Keys make a total fool of herself. Big cast with Jeremy Piven once again finding himself the typecast douchebag.
Blade Runner Blade Runner R 4.0 Stars
Yeah! Final cut all the way...landmark film about finding replicant love in a dystopian society?
The Savages The Savages R 3.5 Stars
Bittersweet, and somewhat depressing. I just love Laura Linney.
Persepolis Persepolis PG-13 4.0 Stars
The perfect balance between a portrayal of the bleak and the comic and the comic within the bleak. An excellent history lesson on the Iranian Revolution and then some...

21 Grams 1. 21 Grams R 5.0 Stars
a film with a very unique structure that skillfully presents parts of the past, present, and future in a surprisingly coherent manner. the flashbacks aren't extensive and the future scenes don't give too much away as to make you ask "how" something happened rather than "what" happened. i was pleasantly taken aback by my first iñárritu film; it sure as hell won't be my last...
The Prestige 2. The Prestige PG-13 5.0 Stars
This film made "The Illusionist" seem like a cheap card trick...and I actually liked "The Illusionist." Christopher Nolan weaves an intricate curtain of a great plot, excellent character development, and flawless art direction that is then draped over your eyes to blind you into utter amazement. The casting is also flawless, exploiting the great chemistry between such pairs as Christian Bale and Michael Caine from Nolan's "Batman Begins" and Scarlett Johansson and Hugh Jackman from Woody Allen's "Scoop." This tale of bitter rivalry, sabotage, deception, and obsession could very well be Nolan's best film ever...next to the acclaimed "Memento" (which I have yet to see.) Clearly deserves its title with the three stages of a good magic trick being the pledge, the turn, and the dramatic ending...the prestige.
Closer 3. Closer R 4.0 Stars
mike nichols adopts a closed-door policy in which he emphasizes the effects of his characters' infidelity rather than the act itself. even so, what isn't seen is even sexier than what is. the tease factor in addition to the graphic, but smart dialogue makes this movie one of my favorite cinematic guilty pleasures.
Mulholland Drive 4. Mulholland Drive R 4.5 Stars
It is extremely rare to come across a film that you don't get at all yet love it as if you actually do. This was the case with "Mulholland Drive." I mean, if someone explains the ending (or even the entire plot) to me, I would probably end up loving it even more. David Lynch expertly crafts a suspenseful piece following his own style of cryptic cinematography. Naomi Watts is brilliant as always and excellently commands the hypnotic sense of puzzled amazement throughout the film.
V for Vendetta 5. V for Vendetta R 5.0 Stars
natalie portman's performance is amazing. i mean, she did shave off all her hair. the orwellian setting with a futuristic twist makes this movie so revolutionary in many ways.
American Psycho 6. American Psycho R 5.0 Stars
Sarcastically terrifying..."American Psycho" is the best cinematic portrait of evil that I've seen. Christian Bale is simply amazing with his character's oddly meticulous grooming habits and blood lust easily evoked by the simplest, most superficial things. The ending was a little weak, but the very deranged message the film sends is more than satisfying.

    Very engrossing, great film! Like "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" though, this movie relied heavily on character development which fell just short of amazing. I highly recommend this one though for the great conflict, especially if you liked "Memento".

    5.0 Stars by Richard
    The best film of 2008 thus far. This movie not only sets the bar for the fall movies for the Best Picture category, but also for Best Actor. Richard Jenkins owns this film. His performance is subtle and brilliant. However, this should not undermine the performance of the supporting cast, which is rock solid. This film would have worked with just the immigration conflict, but then we get one of the best character studies in years, which just blew me away. Go see this film.
