I totally need to see that again, Zak.
Changeling
Geeeeeez. This movie... was completely... powerful. It's the best word I can think of. Gordon Northcott... is up there in my list of the most disturbing characters in film. Clint Eastwood did an incredible job.

Trans Siberian
Just finished watching this one.
Basically a tale of an American couple traveling from Beijing to Moscow on the Trans Siberian Railroad, except... with a twist. And not a lemon twist. A drugs and murder twist. Very good story, great acting... but not something I'd watch again. It just didn't have the "it" that a movie needs to be a purchase for me, or something. Maybe a lack of resolution was the problem.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Everything in this movie screams epic.
A+
And the first forty minutes or so of Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I turned it off because I realized it wasn't worth my time.

Please tell me that wasn't your first time watching LOTR.

Very funny. I laughed a lot at the goofiness.

30 Days of Night
Extremely gory, but not in the campy, Planet Terror style. It was grotesque, and not even as stylized as I expected it to be.

Why not? It should at least be a yearly event.

Atonement
This... this film. Oh man. One of the most devastating films I've ever seen. It ranks up there with The English Patient and Legends of the Fall in my book, simply because the characterizations and the story told are so elegant, while the cinematography and music elicit a response that is, without any hyperbole, close to depression. This is a movie that I cannot begin to recommend enough, not just for its acting or its camera-work or its music, but because the film itself is an example of a movie that is the sum of its parts, when each part is expertly and emotionally wrought.

Oh man that movie was funny as heck! Only bad thing was the abundance of cursing.

Gridiron Gang.
The Rock didn't have the acting chops to carry the film, but it was standard entertainment nonetheless. C+

American History X
I've gotta stop doing this to myself. What, you ask? Watching heart wrenching films. That's... two in a week. And I think another two are due up.
Anyway... American History X. An amazing film about familial ties and racism, it pulls you every which way for the entire first half of the movie, setting you up and threading you through, until everything explodes. Emotionally. Visually. Narratively. It's a tragedy in the finest sense of the word, simply because the film has something to say and wastes no time in saying it. Everything that you hear, everything you're told, has meaning, and that makes for a film that is captivating, riveting and ultimately devastating. The wonderful thing about this movie is that, while the filmmakers could easily have been far more brutal in their depictions of the events surrounding the film, they weren't; the horrible actions depicted are made far worse by the amazing performances on hand and the relentless tension strewn throughout the film.
