my one resolution

This is England

4.5/5

i had no idea what this was about when i started it

but enjoyed the 80s flashback, and was surprised at the heart and honesty of the story

and the boys big old girlfriend, every boy should be so lucky :)

The Kids are All Right

3.5/5

it was okay, not as good as i would have hoped

should have been called, ‘the kids are all right even though the parents are totally self absorbed’

The Hole

3/5

i liked this one better the second time i saw it

thora birch can play crazy evil well

its a shame her weirdo dad had to ruin her career, i miss her in movies :(

Friends with Benefits

3.5/5

was a lot better than i thought it was gonna be

justin timberlake should do more movies

he reminds of lucille ball—maybe its the hair :)

funny, heartfelt, the sentiments in this movie felt genuine

The Fountain

4/5

beautifully shot and edited

i can imagine this was hard for some to follow

seems like a film that would have received better reviews if aronofsky had waited til later in his career to make

recommended, when you have the time to pay attention

Delirious (2006)

3/5

with steve buscemi and michael pitt how can you go wrong

i loved their love/hate relationship

and how pitts character got typecast as the homeless youth

Adventureland

3.5/5

i enjoyed this one

a fun watch for a lazy afternoon

Shame

4.5/5

i praise these actors ability to bring realism to the characters they portray

the US ratings system maddens me

Thumbsucker

4/5

this was directed by the same guy who did beginners, i can tell

he has a sense about him and a way of telling a story

i connected more with thumbsucker than i did with beginners, but it still felt like somethings missing

still, i do recommend it :)
