Lincoln was well directed, acted, written etc. it's not a biopic, it's essentially a glimpse into the creation of legislation and how Lincoln was possibly the only man who could have gotten the 13th amendment passed. Tommy Lee Jones was terrific and though the movie was not quite what I'd expected, I loved it.

[Richie Allen]

This was fabulous.

Just finished SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED.

Very underrated movie imo.

And i'm 97% sure i have a huge crush on Aubrey Plaza now.

Basically, if you liked Garden State, you'll like this movie.

So 20th Century Fox expects me to believe that that Indian kid in Life of Pi was an Indian kid and not some beautiful white Western actor?

[The Third Man]

This was fabulous.

Oh hell yes. Night and the City rules. Some of the best, most expressive cinematography I've ever seen in a film noir, and Widmark is of course fantastic.

Bondathon on SyFy. Hallmark of my childhood.

Goon was cool as hell, one of the better sports movies in recent memory. It's riddled with sports movie clichés but also makes fun of those same clichés from time to time.

Glad to hear it. Hockey so rarely gets a movie made about it, that I'm glad it wasnt a total failure, like the NHL is in real life.

I just saw "Goon" on cable too. Very funny.

Saw Bernie the other night. Enjoyable, yet not hysterical, movie. The only thing that kept my interest was the "true story" hook and the fact they had actual people playing themselves in the sort-of documentary style. Worth a watch (on Netflix).

Also, finally watched Day of the Jackal. Very satisfying. These early 70s movies (see also, the Conversation and Le Cirque Rouge) are great!

Me too. Started to lose interest after a while.
