Girl With a Pearl Earring
The whole thing is so simple. It moves slowly, never picking up its pace, staying always at this casual walk that provides for this quiet, gentle sort of drama. And I think I liked its simplicity. It was an unexpected, pleasant surprise. And...Scarlett Johansson completely nailed her role.

Kinda.
I think I made it through about an hour of the movie in around 40 minutes due to how much sexuality and/or nudity I forwarded through. Then I shut it off.
Not even the fact that Sam Winchester of Supernatural (Jared agbaiodfshon) was in it could get me to finish the movie.
If this is a typical slasher/horror film, then I don't know what's appealing about them. The one thing I actually liked was that evil is evil and everyone else is just in the way. It's nice, every now and then, to experience a world with such clear lines of good and evil.
Even if the "good" is utterly littered with excessive sexuality.

Fullmetal Alchemist... something something something
Wow. It's been a long time since I've watched the FMA series, but I finally watched the movie sequel at CK's badgering.
And... I wasn't disappointed. Naturally, an hour and a half movie won't have all the depth of a packed 50-episode run, but it still made me go "wow."
Great movie. Great characters. Great setting. Great voicing. Great animation.
I loved it.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It's long, yes, clocking in at a little over two and a half hours. And it's simpler than previous entries, relying far more on a strong narrative than action. Yet the film never drags and builds up its energy over time until it reaches an explosive and climactic finish (easily the best ending of these films yet). It delivered everything I expected - a good not great movie with plenty of charm and visual beauty, with some points taken off for Daniel Radcliffe who continues to throw in a poor performance whenever his character needs to do something difficult. Like show emotion.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
I was annoyed that they cut out a lot of the ending, but other than that, I thought this movie was really good. Definately one of the best Potter movies.

Team America: World Police
Not only is it very funny, but it is also an absolutely stunning technical achievement. I love watching it over and over just to see the care that Parker and Stone put into the sets, props, and characters. One of my favorites.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Excellent movie, although I can definitely see why others might not like it. Definitely not a movie for someone with ADHD. I really enjoyed the characters, and the performances were amazing. A

I cannot express how much I loved this movie. It both amazed and moved me. It may very well be my favorite film released since The Dark Knight.
Just wow.

I love this movie. XD Easily one of the best comedies I've ever seen. And quite easily the best Christian movie ever. Bella is good, ED is great. XD

"Um...no."

The Hangover
Entertaining, but I wasn't blown away. In fact, I was kind of disappointed. It just wasn't terribly memorable, and it didn't really try to do much different.
