14. Space Chimps. 2/5 unsympathetic protagonist. Nuff said. It's sad when really cool people get behind really lame projects, like in this case, Andy Samberg is Ham III, the circus monkey who accidentally becomes...well you know.

12. Mirrors 3/5 I totally expected this to be a crappy horror piece of crap and I was  a little nervous that it starred Jack Bauer from 24.

I just saw No Country for Old Men at the Sundance, it was really gruesome and Tommy Lee Jones was pretty predictable as the lovable old Texas Sheriff, but Javier Bardem as the psycho killer was horrifying and creepy (and totally unrecognizable) and anyway, who doesn't love Josh Brolin?
Everyone loves Josh Brolin.

16. Running With Scissors- Augusten Burroughs. I already read his other books while waiting to get this book, but it was the most bizarre of all his stories. He lives for a few years with this crazy crooked "Psychologist". Hilarity ensues. It makes watching the movie much easier to follow anyway.
