9
Excellent film. Felt a little short. Left me wanting more.
9.25/10
A Perfect Getaway
Solid movie, held my interest throughout. Nice twist, albeit somewhat predictable for seasoned movie-watchers.
7.25/10
District 9
Really unique, not what I expected at all. The way it was filmed can get a little irritating at times, but overall really well done.
8/10
Extract
Mike Judge comedy starring Jason Bateman? Sounds promising. Falls pretty flat. Below average.
5.5/10
Gamer
A future world that is chock-full of plot holes. People control other people as video game characters. Not the greatest entry for Michael C. Hall (aka Dexter Morgan) but not terrible.
Still, definitely below average.
5.75/10
Jennifer's Body
Crappy teen horror. I don't know why I watched it.
3/10
Law Abiding Citizen
What develops as a potentially cool plot is explained away in the tritest of manners. Screenwriter fail, big time.
4/10
Saw VI
The Saw series has become so incredibly predictable. More of the same. The sixth was supposed to be the LAST Saw, but it seems to set itself up for ANOTHER sequel. Please, no more.
3.75/10
Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball
I don't think this one ever made it to theaters in the U.S. Actually, not as "direct-to-video" as I expected from it. Decent shoot 'em up film.
7/10
Staten Island
A quirky and oddly amusing film. Seems a little green, but gets points for originality.
8/10
The Invention of Lying
Ricky Gervais is the only person in the world who is biologically capable of lying. Suspend your disbelief. I really don't like Jennifer Garner.
5.5/10
Surrogates
An OK movie but ultimately very forgettable. Seriously, I remember almost nothing about this film.
6/10
The Hurt Locker
Actually I was quite impressed with this movie. It begs the question, "Why the hell are we still over there?"
9/10
The Hangover
Hey, it was a very funny movie. That's all I can say.
8.75/10
Whiteout
Boring Antarctica thriller. Makes you cold just watching it.
6/10

Your breadth and scope in movie viewership of potentially questionable films is admirable, but then I feel justified by playing it safe seeing your reviews.
And, when there's a film on the outskirts that turns out to be quality, I can rely on you to find time to see it and recommend it. You're my personal "Netflix recommends..." button.
If I can make a difference in just one movie-watcher's life...
