Tree of Life

Rating: 8.5

I was a little reluctant to see it because I'd heard rumors of the non-traditional storytelling but I was very moved. The perspective is more like the way humans really experience life, from inside our heads, always applying our memories and seeing life in glimpses rather than a chronological narrative. It isn't for everyone but for me, good stuff.

The Trip

Rating: 8

When I saw a preview with the dueling Michael Caine impressions I was hooked. The rest of the movie doesn't disappoint.

Super 8

Rating: 6.5

I liked the storyline of kids making a movie but the rest of it I thought was less interesting than most episodes of Lost.

Midnight in Paris

Rating: 8.5

When I saw where it was going I thought, delicious! And it is.

Bridesmaids

Rating: 8

Those are just some funny as hell ladies.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams

Rating: 9

It's hard to understand watching a movie about two dimensional drawings in 3-D but Herzog manages to pull it off.
