Bolt

Saw a digital 3-D presentation of Bolt at the theater. Though it's not as good as Meet the Robinsons or WALL-E, I still think this is a great animated film. I'm hoping that it will get nominated for Oscar Best Animated Feature. It's really too bad it didn't do as well as Twilight or Madagascar box-office-wise. Looking forward to more 3-D presentations in the future (Coraline, Ice Age 3, and Up.)

Quantum of Solace

Saw Quantum of Solace at the regular theater Sunday, 16 November 2008, at 220pm. A great Bond film, but not a great film. Definitely the quality is below Casino Royale's. It's good nonetheless. Hopefully Bond 23 will be better.

Snow Angels

Saw Snow Angels on DVD via Netflix, 15 Saturday 2008. Overall, it was a very good movie. Excellent acting by Michael Angarano, Sam Rockwell and Kate Beckinsale. Not perfect, but still great.

Rachel Getting Married

Saw Rachel Getting Married at the regular theater on Sunday, 9 November 2008, at 155pm. Anne Hathaway deserves to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. I know there are a lot of people who didn't like the camerawork, but I thought it was great that they shot it like a home movie. Rosemarie DeWitt and Debra Winger should also be nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscars. Bill Irwin's performance was also excellent. Kudos to Jonathan Demme and Jenny Lumet for their direction and screenplay. Strongly recommended.

Paranoid Park

Saw Paranoid Park on DVD via Netflix Saturday, 8 November 2008. Definitely not a mainstream film. Will turn off a lot of people. However, in the end, I did like it. I like how to story wasn't told in chronological order. I was surprised that Van Sant showed us "the scene" in all its detail. That scene, and American History X's scene, will probably haunt me for the rest of my life.

Mongol

Saw Mongol on DVD via Netflix on Saturday, 1 November 2008. Excellent foreign language film! One of the best in cinematography for the year! Totally deserves to be nominated of Oscar Best Foreign Language Film. Production values were top-notch. Didn't know that a Japanese actor played Genghis Khan. Looking forward to watching the next films in the trilogy.
