| Mini-Review: An awesome western with a compelling story and great character development. Every member of the cast is right on and the direction is good as well. I really have no idea why nobody on here seems to like it, it's got John Wayne and Roy Rogers for cryin' out loud! |

| Mini-Review: What the hell. |

| Feb 08, 2010 |  | Public Enemies | 75 |
| Mini-Review: Well the camerawork was interesting at first, but it got annoying really fast; half the time all you could see was the back of somebody's head. Fortunately for the film, Depp was great, the atmosphere was cool, and the gunfights were awesome. I also loved the scene near the end in the theater. Overall though, it was still an average film with some weak characters and drama. |

| Feb 05, 2010 |  | The Man Who Would Be King | 69 |
| Mini-Review: "The Man Who Would Be King" starts out with likable and spirited direction aided by good humor, but once they reach Kafiristan it begins to drag and becomes rather unpleasant. The battle scenes are terribly executed and everything else just felt so random, especially the end. It was a cool idea, but other than that the only really good thing about it was Caine's peformance. |

| Feb 04, 2010 |  | Kilomètre zéro | 59 |
| Mini-Review: Angry and amateur direction with a nothing script and some terrible editing. Worst of all, it tries a hand at symbolism, and I really can't stand that crap; you get to watch a cow take a dump. I admire the subject tackled, but that's about it. |

| Mini-Review: A haunting movie that is just as relevant today, if not more so than when it was first released. Griffith gives a tour de force performance as a lost and corrupt soul whose rise and fall in the spotlight destroys him. The final scene will shock you and leave you breathless as Lonesome Rhodes sings his way into your mind. |
| 1T |  | The Dawn Patrol | 100 |
| Mini-Review: The story is sentimental yet frank, and tells the story of a stalemated war where recruit after recruit is met with certain death as a last resort to hold off an enemy who would rather be back home. Wars are brought on by crazed men, but they are faught by real people. After watching this I'd have to say that I have hardly seen anything that better illustrates that fact than this film. It is beautifully photographed and well played, and its portrayal of friendship is not to be missed. |
| 1T |  | Barabbas | 100 |
| Mini-Review: Not really sure what to say except that I've never seen a portrayal of desperation and spiritual torture such as this. It doesn't even feel like a film. Anthony Quinn is so mesmerizing in playing the part of Barabbas that you believe everything that goes on in the story, he is so real. The production values are also great, and the (actual) solar eclipse is absolutely stunning. Also this is one spiritual film where the characters don't all come across as robots. "He took my death!" Amazing. |
| 1T |  | The Burmese Harp | 100 |
| Mini-Review: Such a beautiful film to watch, every frame is a masterpiece and the music is just as good. The Burmese Harp is pure power. |
| 1T |  | Dersu Uzala | 100 |
| Mini-Review: A brilliant film that makes a great visual and emotional impact. The Russian wilderness is so harsh and menacing, and the weathered Dersu is so beautifully melancholy that both are impossible to forget. |
| 1T |  | Man of La Mancha | 100 |
| Mini-Review: Love this movie. It really says a lot about seeing the world as it should be, and trying your best to make it so. Every song is great as well, and when Quixote sings Impossible Dream and Dulcinea, you can't help but well up a litte bit. |
| 1T |  | The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas | 100 |
| Mini-Review: Although "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is almost impossible to watch at times, it is truly brilliant. The imagery consistently finds a way to haunt you without showing anything, the acting and direction are both incredible, and I cried uncontrolably for five straight minutes after this thing ended, hard too. There's just absolutely no way I can think of to describe it justly, but I'll tell you it's definitely about much more than just the Holocaust. Unfinished my ass! |
| 1T |  | Bridge to Terabithia | 100 |
| Mini-Review: A remarkable tale of understanding, loss, and love that is truly inspiring and bittersweet. With brilliant and subtle direction, Gabor Csupo crafts one of the most beautiful and believable relationships in film history. There are so many great little moments that make up this wonderful story, and so much heart behind the performances that it is almost impossible not to be moved. Sure, it may not be an intellectual masterwork, but the emotion behind it is so real that it stands as a masterpiece. |
| 1T |  | It Happened One Night | 100 |
| Mini-Review: Hilarious movie well worth watching. Every scene is something special, and Gable and Colbert are fantastic together: "I'm gonna write a book about it." Classic! |
| 1T |  | Rio Bravo | 100 |
| Mini-Review: This movie is just plain cool. It has great character development and the singing scene with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson is fantastic. The whole cast is perfect and the film is unforgetable. |

 | Over-the-Hill Gang Rides Again, The | 52 |
Dissapointingly dull, not nearly as good as the first. The actors all do a great job, but there is pretty much zero script so it doesn't matter. It feels and looks like a weak episode of Gunsmoke. |
|
 | Speed Racer | 80 |
"Speed Racer" is an incredibly beautiful treat for the eyes, if just a little numbing for the brain; it's based on a cartoon after all. The performances are generally good, although Matthew Fox is still annoying, and the direction fits the story perfectly. Basically it's just a really cool movie. |
