Recently Viewed: A New Year

Black Swan (Second Viewing) - The last fifteen minutes are absolute perfection and make up for any potential flaws in the rest. Still amazing. 10/10
Tron: Legacy – Garrett Hedlund’s beauty and the soundtrack were strong points. Visual effects were impressive if not overwhelming. Plot was nonsense and pointless. 6.5/10
Mulan (Viewed Countless Times Before): Mulan is a fascinating character, somewhat funny with decent songs. Reflection is a classic. 9/10
The Social Network (Second Viewing): It never gets old. So witty, so perfectly acted and a perfect introduction to the beautiful Andrew Garfield. 10/10
The Fighter: Amazingly acted and surprisingly good for a movie that I wasn’t expecting to like. Works mostly on the strength of Bale, Leo and Adams. 10/10
Exit Through The Gift Shop: Fascinating doc about a subject I was foreign to but am now super interested in. Informative yet still entertaining and thought provoking. 9/10
Mildred Pierce: Joan Crawford gives a flawless performance in a fabulous dramatic movie that is prompted by every other fabulous element. Perfection. 10/10
127 Hours: Really strong performance by James Franco and the direction by Danny Boyle is fabulous. Really moving film although a tad slow and dragged out. 9/10
The Fabulous Baker Boys: Fabulous performance by Michelle Pfeiffer and an entertaining film with a feeling that I absolutely love. 10/10
