Public Enemies
The camerawork in this film was so jumpy it left you feeling almost dizzy at times. Other than that the film was okay. Afterwards though, you feel like you watched a highlight reel of the movie, not really getting into the characters all that much.The Proposal
Funny enough to keep me entertained the entire way through.

The Hangover
This is what I’m talking about. The funniest film I’ve seen in a quite a long time. Highly recommended.Little Ashes
I thought this was going to be more about Salvador Dali. While it had a very small piece of his life in it, it was a bit more about Federico García Lorca. They both had a relationship almost homosexual, but not quite all the way.
Can’t say I liked this film at all. I think the popularity of Rob Pattinson had the marketing team overblowing his Dali performance making you think it was more about that, so the previews are misleading in a way. Boring. And whoever took care of Dali’s moustache must have had a hard time. Being thin, it would float around Pattinson’s lip from cut to cut during a single scene. Distractingly so.

Drag Me to Hell
What a fun, awesome film this was. I’m a huge fan of the Evil Dead films (mostly 2) and it feels like Sam Raimi, the director of all of them, had a really fun time getting back to horror after losing his mind on Spider-man 3, which is the only way I can explain the song and dance number.
Drag Me to Hell is just fun. More movies like this please.

Up
Once again Pixar has an amazing film. I wasn’t expecting it to be quite as serious and touching as it was. Out of them all, this is the one that gave us the least to go on story-wise. Old man, boy scout, flying house, bird, talking dog. How do all those fit together? They do, and it’s a moving adventure worth seeing more than once.

The Brothers Bloom
Really good film. One of those you may have to see multiple times to see all the setups that are taking place right before your eyes.
It has a great opening sequence that really pulls you in and gives you all the basis you need for the characters. You can see it at http://brothersbloom.tumblr.com/tagged/vids.

Terminator: Salvation
While I really enjoyed all the action scenes, the rest of the film just fell apart. Characters you don’t care for and make really stupid, out of character decisions.
And please. Stop this already… When a character dies and you beat on their chest and electrocute them to bring them back to life. At least with Crank 2: High Voltage, it was mocking the whole thing.
