Don't know what everyone was talking about when they claimed it disappointed. I really liked that film and would recommend it to anyone.

Also liked Happy Feet, Gamer, This Is It, and La Tragedia de Macario. Sunshine Cleaning and New Moon were okay. Saw Star Trek again, since the girlfriend bought the DVD, and am still blown away by that movie. I still got teary-eyed before the title sequence. Easily the best movie of 2009, and definitely one of the best films ever made.

I've heard of this film for a while while it was making the rounds at the "foo-foo" theaters, and it wasn't until Rick told me about it and how much he liked it that… Continue

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Great one. Actually the whole series has been impressive. I haven't read any of the books yet, but I'm really glad this whole story is out.
