Days and Clouds

Saw Days and Clouds on DVD via Netflix Sunday, 21 December 2008. Not as good as I had hoped. The person I saw it with thought it was so bad that it was already funny -- same reaction when we saw Marie Antoinette.

Milk

Saw Milk at the regular theater on Sunday, 14 December 2008, at 130pm. Before watching this, I thought this had a better chance of winning the Oscar for Best Picture than Slumdog Millionaire. I was wrong -- although it was a very very good and important film, I didn't even think it should be nominated for the award. Acting was very good, especially by Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, James Franco, Emile Hirsch and Diego Luna. Kudos to Gus Van Sant and Dustin Lance Black.

Slumdog Millionaire

Saw Slumdog Millionaire at the regular theater on Saturday, 13 December 2008, at 140pm. After seeing it, I thought to myself that it was worthy of an Oscar Best Pic nom, but didn't deserve to win the actual award especially when I compare it to WALL-E and the Dark Knight. Nonetheless, screenplay, direction, acting, cinematography, writing, score were all flawless. Definitely recommended.

the Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Saw the Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the regular theater on Sunday, 7 December 2008. Although the person I saw the movie with thought that it was one of the 10 best of the year, I thought it was good but not great. In fact, I felt that I should have just rented it on DVD instead of paying for a ticket to see it. Vera Farmiga was great though.

Reprise

Saw Reprise on DVD via Netflix on Saturday, 6 December 2008. Can't understand how this became Norway's entry to the Oscars. Wasn't good. Not recommended.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist at the bargain theater Sunday, 30 November 2008. Great way to end November. I thought it was a great movie, but somehow I wouldn't pay full price to see it. Would recommend to others, though.

Boy A

Saw Boy A on DVD via Netflix Saturday, 29 November 2008. Although the person that I watched this with didn't like it that much, I thought it was a pretty good movie and would recommend it. Excellent acting from Andrew Garfield -- I hope that he gets more roles in the future.

Role Models

Saw Role Models at the regular theater Thursday, 27 November 2008, at 3pm. Good not great. Happy that I only paid matinee price for this movie.
