The Tillman Story

Rating: 9

Wow. Just, wow. The Tillman family is amazing and in case you forgot, Donald Rumsfeld is a smug prick!

Catfish

Rating: 8.5

Really fascinating, especially if you ignore the marketing campaign that's selling it as a horror movie.

The Town

Rating: 8

This is a cool heist flick! My brain has a hard time processing Don Draper out of context though.

The American

Rating: 7

Very European, contrary to the title and different from my expectations. I enjoyed the quietness. Suspense minus action is a rare thing at the movies. Too rare.

Mesrine: Killer Instinct

Rating: 9

Part Dog Day Afternoon, part Bonnie & Clyde and part ... something French...or French Canadian...? Anyway, it rocks! Sadly this is only part 1 of the series. Can't wait for part 2.

Animal Kingdom

Rating: 7.5

Non-traditional Australian crime drama. Pretty good.

Get Him To The Greek

Rating: 8.5

Jonah Hill & Russell brand are loaded with talent and great chemistry but note to filmmakers: casting P.Diddy in anything reduces its quality by several notches even when he's parodying his persona, which is all he does anyway. Too bad this juicy role was wasted on him. He had some great lines that naturally he butchered. In spite of Diddy, a great and hilarious flick.
