My Favorite Movies

Great music flick. Shows a new perspective on rock and roll. Performances are stellar and the soundtrack is very appropriate.

Very moving picture with an important message. So you wanna say that they overdo the sentimentalism of the blood diamond crisis? Maybe so, but it is necessary to show the world a true evil. DiCaprio and Djimon have great performances. Slightly erratic in pacing, but not enough to affect the impact of the movie as a whole.

Does "Infernal Affairs" well. Great performances and screenplay. The last 30 minutes are great with deception and violence (and f***) on hand. One of the best of 2006.

Most amazing documentary I've ever seen. It peers into the soul and creation of Daniel Johnston's music so creatively. The music is used well as the director tells his tragic story.

Beautiful film, visually and emotionally. Jim Carrey is incredible, as well as Winslet. Gondry is so inventive and non-convential. Incredible filmmaking.

One of the most underrated thrillers I've seen. The pacing and thrills are definitely present, with great style and editing. Ending is great. Interesting concept on religion, in a way.

Zach Braff makes a real personal film that speaks to many in this generation. He is a voice that really influences others, including their music. Great indie soundtrack. Script is smart. Good performances by Braff, Portman, and Sarrsgaad.

Smart romantic and hilarious. Cusack is perfectly cast and does a great job of carrying the clever script. Jack Black is again a genius of comedy.

Amazing performances by Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning. Incredible Beatles soundtrack that works well with the story. Heartbreaking.

Works with a great storyline, insane twists, and dashing cinematography. Top notch thriller.

Hilarious with a deep, mature side as well. Apatow uses real situations to entertain the audience with smart (though sometimes risque) humor. Long, but worth it. *Now have seen it three times in theaters. Great in each screening.*

Another quirky comedy with a great soundtrack, especially from Seu Jorge. Murray stands out once again. Effects are done in a very interesting way. Smart and touching.

What makes this movie incredible for me is the rewatchability. The first time I watched it, a feeling of magic and tenderness surrounded me. And at each repeated viewing, this smart comedy replicates the same feeling. Incredible performances and message. Great picture.

Most beautiful scenery ever captured on film. Great performance by Bernal. Gorgeous cinematography.

Amazing performances by Penn, Bacon, and Robbins. The story works so well around them. Eastwood does a great job with the pacing of the film as well the soundtrack. The soundtrack is immaculate. Boston is a great locale for the movie. Moving.

Amazing performance by Brody. Overall, a beautiful story with captivating direction and music. Never boring.

Solid quirky comedy with great performances by Schwartzman and Murray. Great soundtrack.

What is there to say about Shawshank? Robbins and Freeman give the performances of their careers. Amazing cinematography. The feel of the movie is great. Ending will pull on your heartstrings a little. Wonderful.

Greatest Shyamalan film, bar none. By keeping the action in a small setting (just one family rather than an entire country) he scares the living bejeezus out of me. Great pacing and acting.

What a blast of a movie. So much fun to watch. If you go in looking for a movie you can just let your mind go in, it's perfect. Hilarious, exhilerating, Samuel L. Mother-f***ing Jackson.

There is so much more to this movie than meets the eye. The colors of wardrobe and scenery all coerce with the feeling of Truman. Carrey does an amazing job. Beautifully shot and scripted.

What a ride. Great pacing and script. It has many great ideas and is so inspired. The ensemble works well together and Spacey really stands out. What a twist!

Brilliant mockumentary. Hilarious as Guest can get. The ensemble is smart and clever in their improv-heavy roles.
