¡Es excelente!

No Country for Old Men |
|
|
It is many things: an unrelenting thriller, a probing drama, and a meditative adventure about young/old, past/present. The Coens are back in a big way. |
|
2.
|
Ratatouille |
|
|
Not that anyone should be surprised, but Pixar does it again. They are on a whole other plane compared to other studios. |
|
3.
|
Hot Fuzz |
|
|
If you like action movies, and you like to laugh, then you'd be hard-pressed not to enjoy this. |
|
4.
|
Away From Her |
|
|
A highly compelling and tender story. Christie is great but Gordon Pinsent is even better. |
¡Muy bueno!
|
|

|
Knocked Up |
|
|
Perhaps a tad funnier if you've experienced the ups and downs of a pregnancy, but I'm amazed at how well it blends the chick flick with guy humor. |
|
6.
|
Zodiac |
|
|
A tad too long, and Chloe Sevigny's character is weak, but top-notch besides that. A great examination of a perplexing case. |
|
7.
|
There Will Be Blood |
|
|
A tightly scripted feat with tremendous acting that brings together multiple themes, though the closing argument could have been a little more impressive. |
|
8.
|
Sunshine |
|
|
If someone asks you about the final half-hour, just smile and nod. Before that, it's an amazing ride with astounding effects and art/set direction. |
|
9.
|
Waitress |
|
|
A genuine heartfelt ode to small towns, pies, illicit love, life, and hope. |
|
10.
|
The Bourne Ultimatum |
|
|
The smart, well-paced action film is a nice finale to the saga. |
|
11.
|
Sicko |
|
|
If you aren't angry at the American health care system after watching this, then you are either part of the problem or something is seriously wrong with you. |
|
12.
|
No End in Sight |
|
|
A good, informative expose on the Keystone Kops-like catastrophe in Iraq. Still, only begins to scratch the surface on the blunders. |
|
13.
|
Disturbia |
|
|
Is pretty fun, with some thrilling moments, and LaBeouf is bound to be a big star. That said, it was absolutely sacrilegious to remake Rear Window. |
|
14.
|
Superbad |
|
|
Funny, often very funny, entry in the teen sex genre. Better than American Pie. |
|
15.
|
The Simpsons Movie |
|
|
I'm pleased to say that's it is definitely not the Worst. Movie Ever. But it also misses the complexity and emotional heights of Classic Simpsons. Plenty funny though. |
|
16.
|
Grindhouse |
|
|
Both halves are simply too long, but both serve their purpose of providing a good time. |
¡No malo!
|
|
17.
|
Paris, je t'aime |
|
|
A couple misses, but mostly fun little hodgepodge of short stories centered around Paris. |
|
18.
|
Shooter |
|
|
I like Mark Wahlberg. It's just another random action movie though. |
|
19.
|
Ocean's Thirteen |
|
|
It's a pretty fun ride, but nowhere near the charm or creativity of the original. |
|
20.
|
Alpha Dog |
|
|
The movie really stumbles in the final act. Quite enjoyable overall though, and Timberlake is actually a very promising actor. |
|
21.
|
Music & Lyrics |
|
|
It's very hard not to like Hugh Grant. Good, fun pop movie, much better than I was expecting. |
|
22.
|
The Kingdom |
|
|
Sort of a poor man's Syriana. |
|
23.
|
Talk to Me |
|
|
The story loses its way in the second half, but the actors are all great - particularly Cheadle, who once again proves that he is one of the very best. |
|
24.
|
Mr. Brooks |
|
|
It's refreshing to see Costner in a villianous role, and he handles it quite nicely. A decent thriller overall, if a bit uneven in tone and pacing. |
|
25.
|
A Mighty Heart |
|
|
Some good performances, particularly Jolie, and manages to be thrilling despite the obvious ending. Though some of the investigative aspects are rushed and rather confusing. |
|
26.
|
Once |
|
|
It's a bore at first, but finds its way into a nice, little budding romance musical. |
|
27.
|
Hairspray |
|
|
Colorful, kitschy musical is a big step up from hokey teen alternatives like High School Musical. |
|
28.
|
Black Snake Moan |
|
|
Better than it should have been, it has enough solid acting and folksy Southernness to make it mostly enjoyable. |
|
29.
|
Breach |
|
|
Needed more suspense and sense of intrigue. Good performances though. |
|
30.
|
28 Weeks Later |
|
|
A different, but decent - and often scary - followup to the original hit, its main weakness is the boring main characters. |
¡No es bueno!
|
|
31.
|
Transformers |
|
|
A typical Bay movie, which is to say: a stupid plot, poorly developed one-sided characters, an annoyingly bad music score, and a few explosive moments to make it a little fun. |
|
32.
|
The Invisible |
|
|
The ending is unfulfilling and there are a few plot holes, but before that it's a solid teen supernatural thriller. |
|
33.
|
300 |
|
|
Visually exciting, but the plot is so thin it could have been a 15-minute short story. |
|
34.
|
Bug |
|
|
Prepared to be extremely disapointed if you were expecting a thriller or horror movie. But, it's not bad as a creepy psychological drama. |
|
35.
|
Spider-Man 3 |
|
|
Evil Peter Parker is indeed as bad as you've heard it is, but much of the rest of the movie falls flat as well. |
|
36.
|
Smokin' Aces |
|
|
An attempt to capture the magic of 90s movies like Pulp Fiction or The Usual Suspects, instead we get a broken plot with a dizzying array of characters. |
|
37.
|
Live Free or Die Hard |
|
|
Has little of the tension, excitement, or thrills of the original. |
|
38.
|
Vacancy |
|
|
Its moments of being a tense little thriller are marred by unlikeable characters and some hair-pulling stupidity. |
|
39.
|
Shrek the Third |
|
|
An unoriginal, mish-mash of a movie is interupted by a couple humorous moments and a few scenes of some really nice animation. |
|
40.
|
Halloween |
|
|
A few notable scenes, but otherwise an unnecessary, disappointing, and flat remake of a horror classic. |
|
41.
|
1408 |
|
|
When it works, 1408 is Shining-esque. When it doesn't, it is bad c-list horror. |
|
42.
|
Fracture |
|
|
"Thriller" with a mediocre plot, bad dialogue, and anticlamactic finish is propped up just slightly above TV movie because of the two leads. |
|
43.
|
Next |
|
|
The next time someone suggests watching this trite, poorly written movie say "No!" |
|
44.
|
Astronaut Farmer |
|
|
Instead of a heart-warming family comedy/drama, we get a disappointing, inexplicable movie filled with plot-holes galore. |
|
45.
|
Premonition |
|
|
Pretzel logic is rarely a good thing. |
|
46.
|
Ghost Rider |
|
|
Ho-hum, yadda yadda. Not everything makes a good movie, Marvel. |
¡Es terrible!
|
|
47.
|
Hannibal Rising |
|
|
Let's just forget this happened. Though not technically bad, it's not scary, thrilling, dramatic, or even interesting in any way. |
|
48.
|
Dead Silence |
|
|
The plot had potential, but this is pretty dull for a "horror" movie. I'm really surprised it wasn't straight-to-video or cable. |
|
49.
|
Wild Hogs |
|
|
It's a complete embarrassment for everyone involved. Not funny or fun in any way. |
|
50.
|
The Number 23 |
|
|
Reaches new lows for absurdly idiotic and stupid plots. It's a complete failure of a story. |
