85 26% The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) - Rated 27 Mar 2010
80 18% Ponyo (2008) - Rated 17 Mar 2010
"*sigh* I suspect that the version of Ponyo that I saw tonight was grossly mutilated to conform to a Disney formula. I am eager to seek out a Japanese version. I suspect that the character of Ponyo's mother has a scene where she is "scary", as Ponyo describes her in the beginning, but it was cut. As the character appears in the American version, she is nauseatingly ethereal and glamorous. This film was cut down at least 20 minutes from where it should have been to be successful."

75 13% Blood Tea and Red String (2006) - Rated 07 Mar 2010
"This film is surreal stop motion animation in a similar vein to the films of Svankmajer. The characters are chimeric, weird, and fantastical. There are scenes involving a spider that I found especially captivating. Drawbacks include crude stop motion and some scenes are a bit too long and repetitive. The creepiness did not turn off my 3-y.o. In fact, the nuances of emotions rendered and the evolution of the story kept us constantly guessing and bantering about the action and possible outcomes."
96 78% Up (2009) - Rated 14 Feb 2010
93 66% Moon (2009) - Rated 14 Feb 2010
"Good classic science fiction. Suspend disbelief for some unlikely speculative cloning science. Gripping emotional, psychological, & philosophical drama. I enjoyed Sam Rockwell again in this film."
89 44% MirrorMask (2005) - Rated 13 Sep 2009
"Coming of age quest fantasy set within a lush surrealistic dreamscape. Outstanding visual feast."
88 39% District 9 (2009) - Rated 08 Sep 2009
"Very good mishmash of great sci fi themes combined with intriguing setting and social history baggage of Johannesburg, SA. It's a violent, gross-out film--but with a good story."
41 2% Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) - Rated 09 Aug 2009
""Die Hard" in a mall except with unfunny, unappealing hero and absolutely no Alan Rickman. Boooooo!"
