Monthly Movie Journal: May 2011 (47 movies items)"Glad we agree on AMORES PERROS, and I'm totally with you on the fact that BABEL is his best work so far. BIUTIFUL is good, worth seeing and awash in even more symbolism than we usually get in Inarrit"

Top performances of 2010 (alphabetical) (15 person items)"Thanks Regan! Yeah, when I make my list of top performances, I like to only include the ones that really got to me. Jennifer Lawrence was good in WINTER'S BONE, but I disagreed with the "wow" reacti"
Monthly Movie Journal: May 2011 (47 movies items)"Yeah, I did review WALL-E... but, um... well, even though I posted it on Listal last September (when I joined), the review was actually written in the summer of 2008, when I had only recently begun th"
Monthly Movie Journal: May 2011 (47 movies items)"Well, it's not so much that we disagree on WALL-E as it is that our emotional reactions to it were completely different. You're right in all the points you make about it, though - there definitely ar"
Monthly Movie Journal: April 2011 (44 movies items)"I could NEVER disagree with someone who thought "The Exploding Girl" is a movie that meanders frequently, because it absolutely is. In these slice-of-life dramas, one of the factors that I think will"

Monthly Movie Journal: April 2011 (44 movies items)"Yep, I saw WE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, and she was very good in it. The performance that enthralls me to no end and that probably made me "fall in love with her" as an actress, though, is the one she"
Monthly Movie Journal: April 2011 (44 movies items)"lol @ The Tourist. Naomi Watts is my favorite actress, which is why I wanted to LOVE Fair Game, but man, the last few minutes of that movie were sooo UN-subtle in basically jamming the film's polit"

Favorite Ellen Page Performances (8 movies items)"Just to reiterate what poetik_tragedy already said... once you see HARD CANDY, it'll easily become the #1 performance on your list. She's very good in everything she's done, but in HARD CANDY, she's "
PG-13s That Would Have Been Better Rated R (11 movies items)"I definitely liked THE LOVELY BONES a lot less than you did (read: I hated it), but one point from your review that I agree on very strongly is that it would've benefited a lot from being rated R inst"

RANKED: the films of Richard Linklater (12 movies items)"Awesome!! Thanks for doing this list. Linklater is wonderful, and those top two movies hold a super special place in my movie heart. I haven't yet made an all-time list of my favorite films, becaus"
My favorite Women of All-Time (45 person items)"I saw ALL ABOUT EVE for the first time ever just a couple of days ago, and have to admit Bette Davis was freaking terrific in it."
Monthly Movie Journal: March 2011 (45 movies items)"First of all, thanks so much for giving credit to my review of THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU. :) I did think the movie was fine for a March release, but man, the movie gets terribly ponderous at times. I co"

Ryan Reynolds-he's just so likable! (22 movies items)"Great list - I think Reynolds is actually fantastic at serious dramatic roles, and that he should start veering more in that direction. He was great as a secondary character in Adventureland, and eve"

15 different movies that I will never forget. (15 movies items)"The Return of the King and Spider-Man 2 are two of the most immersive, most awesome experiences I've had at a movie theater with a "blockbuster"-type film. There hasn't been much that has topped thos"

Films I Really Wish I Could Love... (8 movies items)"I strongly agree on SHERLOCK HOLMES - I didn't like it in the least bit, and I've no idea why a slew of other people like it. It's a lackluster movie at best. I couldn't be less excited about the se"
Watched in 2011 (139 movies items)"Hahahaha... okay, I'll admit that, even though I didn't turn it off after 30 minutes, I WANTED to. My problem is that, as much as I might hate a movie, I always hesitate to shut it off before it's ov"
Best movies of 2009 (51 movies items)"I'll have to check out Black Dynamite and Thirst, but once again, great list. I'm glad that someone else appreciated A Serious Man as much as I did. "Accept mystery" is one of the movie lines I laug"
Best movies of 2010 (42 movies items)"Terrific. I'm glad that someone else actually saw MOTHER and gave it the commendation it deserves. If the film had gotten a wider distribution, I think Kim Hye-Ja would've easily been in contention "
