The Crow 1994, R)
Absolutely amazing. One of the greatest action movies I've ever seen, mixed with a dark, foreboding dystopia that seems all too real. Screwed over by most award shows, especially the Academy, this deserved more recognition than it got. Brandon Lee's final performance was thrilling, stunning, horrifying at times, but always incredible. May he rest in peace. |

The Boondock Saints 2000, R)
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It has a surprisingly smart and funny script, even with a lot of swearing. The format of the plot was different enough to not be weird but to be a pleasant style. The acting was very good for an action movie, and it has a soul behind it. It's not a meaningless Arnold Scwarzenegger-from-the-80s action movie. It does not diminish over time, and its worth watching again and again. |

The King's Speech 2010, PG-13)
I went in expecting this movie to be overrated, dreadfully boring, but still all right. Boy was I wrong. All throughout, the dialogue was witty, the acting incredible, and the scenework entrancing. While poorly shot in my opinion (Hooper cut off the tops of people's heads a lot, it bugged me), he everyone still was awesome. This is one of my favorite movies of the year. I'm hoping this one will take many of the top Oscars. |

The Lion King 1994, G)
This was the first time I'd seen this classic, which I've been watching since I was probably 2, on the big screen. Everything was more uplifting, more intense. The wildebeest stampede had me on the edge of my seat, even though I've seen the movie over 50 times. Same with the Be Prepared song. The clarity of everything allows you to catch the little subtleties. I wish Disney would keep on doing things like this, not for the 3D, but just to see them on the big screen. |

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2011, R)
So much better than the Swedish version, in my opinion, this brought forth all the elements of the book into a physical form in ways I thought couldn't be done. Everyone played their parts to the fullest extent, becoming the characters I imagined them to be. I can't think of anything wrong with this movie. AND THE TITLE SEQUENCE!!!! |

X-Men: First Class 2011, PG-13)
Wow. This was awesome. I was stunned visually and by Mcavoy's and Fassbender's performances. This is a worthy addition to superhero movies, probably one of the best yet. Incredible character development, which severely lacked in all characters previously except Logan. Again, awesome. Worth it, all the way. |

The Best Years of Our Lives 1946, Unrated)
I was shocked at how great of a movie this is. Themes from this movie show up constantly in war movies, and some of the acceptance things are common. The plot line about Homer is similar to that of Edward Scissorhands. I was incredibly impressed with this movie and I need to get it and watch it several more times. |

(500) Days of Summer 2009, PG-13)
My friends love this movie, and had been telling me for a long time how awesome it was. I had a small hankering, because it's a similar concept to Annie Hall, which is incredible. So I was sure it was going to be a cheap ripoff of a great movie. Boy was I wrong. This is smart, witty, relateable, and incredibly acted. I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance best of them all, and I'm looking forward to more of his works. This movie is for anybody, and it's terrible if you can't at least appreciate it. |

Sherlock Holmes 2009, PG-13)
I saw the trailer and thought, ehh, it looks like a decent action movie. a fun movie, not a great movie. and then I saw it. there wasn't nearly as much action in it, but more plot and character development and interaction. the signature twist in guy ritchie films was still there and it was great. one of the most thought out and well developed movies of the decade. |

Schindler's List 1993, R)
Overly gruesome and gnarly, but it was necessary. Like the violence in Saving Private Ryan. Hmmm, same director. Curiouser and curiouser. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes were exquisite, and should have won their respective Oscar over Tom Hanks and Tommy Lee Jones. I'm still fascinated on why Spielberg chose to use color for the girl in a red coat. That question will plague me for a while, and I may never figure it out. Not one of my favorite movies of all time, but extraordinarily well made. |
