Blue Valentine

Rating: 8.5

Like a sock in the gut. Sometimes a good movie makes me feel so bad.

The King's Speech

Rating: 8

Britishy. Actors! Royalish. Westminster Abbeytude. Overcomingness.

True Grit

Rating: 9

As awesome as you'd expect with the Coens and Jeff Lebowski. Also, I've now been transformed into a Matt Damon fan.

The Fighter

Rating: 8

Hard to put a new spin on the boxing genre but I think they pulled it off.

Black Swan

Rating: 7.5

Ballet is brutal.

127 Hours

Rating: 9

Please Jeebus...let James Franco's hand grow back. Eeeeeeep!

Conviction

Rating: 6.5

Predictable but mostly not too bad.
