- Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) e 5/52008-03-07 18:17
You would think that me of all people would have seen this movie, considering I’m a huge Cameron Crowe fan, but for some reason I never thought of renting it till recently. Amazing movie, just like most of Crowes work. And what male with a heartbeat can’t love the pool scene.
- True Romance (1993) e 3/5Another black comedy, but this time from the early 90s. This movie was loaded with stars. It’s a who’s who of movie stars, Slater, Walker, Jackson, Hopper, Oldman.
- Heathers (1989) e 2.5/5
Entertaining and wacky is about all I can say about this late 80’s black comedy. Although it did have the delicious Winona Ryder in it, which is a big plus.
- Be Kind Rewind (2008) e 4/5I really liked this. It was goofy at times, but I really liked the sentimental ending. It’s not the best movie out there but I really enjoyed it. Kelly thought it was just average.

- Laberinto del fauno, El (2006) e 4.5/5Impressive foreign fantasy film. I thought the subtitles might take away from the story but it was great. Can’t believe I waited so long to see it!
- 300 (2006) e 3.5/5Pretty good flick, some nicely crafted fighting scenes and had a good look. Enjoyed the story.
- Cloverfield (2008) e 4/5Great monster flick. Well worth the $10 bucks to see it on the BIG screen. Bring along something to stop the motion sickness though. :)
- We Are Marshall (2006) e 4.5/5Heartfelt sports movie. Nearly brought me to tears on more then one occasion.
- Smoking Aces e 3/5Another movie that the end was just a little too fudged. Definitely a movie that was living in a comic book environment but was a fun watch.
- Children of Men (2006) e 4.5/5Really liked this movie. I’m looking forward to reading the book and seeing how it expands off what the movie had.
- Shooter (2007) e 3.5/5Pretty good. There were some confusing parts in the movie and I feel the end could have been handled a little cleaner.
- Juno (2007) e 4.5/5Fun movie. I really liked it. The girl lead knows perfectly how to play an angst teenager and Micheal Cera was his usually funny self. I really enjoyed the music.
- Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet… e 3.5/5Pretty good movie. Enjoyed it a lot, but felt that the songs got to be repetitive after awhile. Entertaining and a good story. Really wish Danny Elfman had done the music… :)
