21. City of Ember
Good family adventure story
22. Flow
Documentary on water privatization around the globe. Well done.
23. Henry Poole is Here
Why is this billed as comedy? I kept waiting for it to be remotely funny and it never happened
24. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
I'm not a big Woody Allen fan. While the acting was good, I thought the movie itself was a bit over-rated.
25. Call Girl
While the story was good, I think it tried to go in too many directions. Paring down the story (and the 2 1/2 hour running time) would probably have done it more justice
26. Rocknrolla
Typical Guy Ritchie film, though nothing new to make it stand out
27. Lucky Ones
Soldiers coming home from Iraq. Certainly much better done than some that have gone before (Home of the Brave, which sucked the big one!)
28. Lakeview Terrace
Completely predictable
29. Just Buried
An attempt at dark humour that didn't quite work for me
30. Closing the Ring
Nice little drama that's probably been overlooked by many
31. Pride & Glory
An average crime drama with a great cast who pull it above mediocrity.
32. Bottle Shock
It's funny, it's based on a true story and it has Alan Rickman - what's not to love?
33. Passchendaele
Great combination of war epic and love story.
34. Secret Life of Bees
Good, solid, heartfelt drama
35. Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist
Average teenage romantic comedy with a good soundtrack
36. Good Student
Another supposed dark comedy that completely misses the mark
37. Tenth Circle
The story had potential but this made-for-TV flick just doesn't cut it
38. Zack & Miri Make a Porno
The dialogue is a little too forced to work, making it just an average, if somewhat vulgar, romantic comedy
39. Private Valentine
A Private Benjamin wannabe that fails miserably
40. Blindness
Well done and one of the best book-to-movie adaptations I've seen in a while
Wow, I watched all those in January. Guess I have some major catching up to do to bring my lists up-to-date!
