The Soloist

Rating: 6

Robert Downey, Jr. is excellent as usual and Jamie Fox is good and the music is purdy, but I'm not really feeling the movie as a whole. I felt the same way about this director's other movie, Atonement.

Observe and Report

Rating: 6.5

Disturbing, violent, sad and pretty darn funny.

State of Play

Rating: 7

Not much originality here but it's a fun ride. The performances by the great female leads are excellent and there's also a terribly silly appearance by Jason Bateman.

Sin Nombre

Rating: 9.5

First of all, I am a whore for Mexican movies. Having said that, I think this is the best movie so far this year- maybe one of the best ever. Drop everything, see it.

Adventureland

Rating: 6.5

Is it weird how much I enjoyed Ryan Reynolds in this? He was by far the most interesting character.
