First impression, wow.
Just... wow.

A gore fest, shaky documentary, stunning sci-fi and drama all in one, here is the first sci-fi splatter drama ... More

	Votes +2 +2 / -0 thumb up thumb down The Social Network (2010) Genre: Drama 100% Posted on 1/23/11 02:31 AM "You're not an asshole, Mark. You're just trying hard to be." While the the sharp dialogue, calm direction by David Fincher and edits from past to present and vice versa were expectedly impressive, nothing takes away the spotlight from Mr. Eiserberg whose bravura performance as the world's youngest billionaire is arguably the best movie performance of 2010. Andrew Garfield was also superb and my sympathy for his character won me over. This is one of the best films today and I'm sure its lasting intelligence will be remembered even after decades. 0 Comments \| Send This \| Comments:
	Votes +3 +3 / -0 thumb up thumb down Black Swan (2010) Genre: Mystery & Suspense 100% Posted on 1/23/11 02:30 AM Mister Aronofsky, I am greatly honored to have known you. We haven't officially met but I think I am much in love with you. Oh heck no, not you - but your work! I haven't seen a lot of brilliant films today but when Black Swan came to me, I waited patiently for it and now that it's out and I have watched it, I must say I was stunned and ---- oh gosh, I'm speaking too much. Well, y'know... It was a brilliant idea to pursue it with Natalie Portman in mind you know. She was just amazing and her depth! Oh how she scared the sht outta me? Dear Lord, your movie is the horror film of the year because of Portman and... Barbara Hershey! Scariest lady since Sylvia Ganush! Damn, I also commend Vincent Cassel and Mila Kunis! But oh, I couldn't put into words how much I admire this. Forget the Step Up 3D sht, this is the best dance movie of 2010! This is one of your best movies ever... well all your films are great but this stands tip toed. Just Bravo to you! BRAVO TO NATALIE PORTMAN! 0 Comments \| Send This \| Comments:
	Votes +2 +3 / -1 thumb up thumb down Napoleon Dynamite (2004) Genre: Comedy 90% Posted on 12/29/10 08:57 PM Realism for the geeks and nerds, Napoleon Dynamite is a very fascinating movie centered on a town of misfits. You'll find it surprisingly rich and inspirational while figuring out what it really means. 0 Comments \| Send This \| Comments:
	Votes +3 +6 / -3 thumb up thumb down Clash of the Titans (2010) Genre: Drama 20% Posted on 12/26/10 10:20 PM If you look at the two latest Hollywood takes on Greek mythology (Percy Jackson and this snorefest built around epic cliches), Clash of the Titans may be set closer to the period. The wonderful talent carrying it were wasted by a script that's obviously trying too hard. It has nothing to boast but spectacular visual flash. But what I discovered here is that there is range in Sam Worthington's acting. If he wants to keep up the claims that he'll become the next Russell Crowe, he should go more to dramas than in epics that give no damn to mood and character. 3 Comments \| Send This \| Comments: 12iveyhl on 4/28/10 at 05:43 AM Well I give it a 100%, because it's an awesome movie. 1 Replies \| Report Abuse Escapefromalcatraz on 4/28/10 at 10:16 AM That's what I love about RT. a 20 and a 100. :) 1 Replies \| Report Abuse gio on 4/29/10 at 03:24 AM everybody disagrees with everybody almost all the time. haha. 0 Replies \| Report Abuse
	Votes +1 +1 / -0 thumb up thumb down The September Issue (2008) Genre: Documentary 90% Posted on 12/23/10 11:15 AM A fashionista's dream came true, The September Issue is a lovely documentary about two figures (Wintour and Coddington) on a heavy mission. It's the less cynical side of The Devil Wears Prada (2006) but still highly entertaining. 1 Comments \| Send This \| Comments: MovieFreak on 12/26/10 at 09:27 PM Highly entertaining, yes!

	Votes +1 +1 / -0 thumb up thumb down Frozen (2010) Genre: Drama 60% Posted on 12/23/10 11:02 AM Broken bones! Eaten alive by wolves! Frost bites! Err, those are only a few of the agonies brought about by the stupidity of the characters in Frozen. This is one disturbing film to sit through and I mean as a whole! 0 Comments \| Send This \| Comments:
	Votes +8 +8 / -0 thumb up thumb down Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009) Genre: Animation 70% Posted on 12/23/10 10:55 AM Talk animated feature, you will most likely hear a lot about Pixar. And animated rarities like Cloudy mostly get overshadowed by the big picture, even if they were premiered in 3-D. I called it a rarity because of many aspects - very few films carry the easygoing nature of the film, and the comedian-studded casting, it's surprisingly fun, it's all about food and (best of all) it's as weird as it gets. After watching it, you can proudly say that you haven't seen anything quite like it before but you won't see anything quite like it either. 4 Comments \| Send This \| Comments: Jake on 12/23/10 at 03:45 PM One of my favorite animated films out there and one that I will never forget. 1 Replies \| Report Abuse gio on 12/24/10 at 05:05 AM same here dude. it almost made me cry 0 Replies \| Report Abuse Dr.Sabotage on 12/24/10 at 01:02 PM It surprised me how good it was, good review. 0 Replies \| Report Abuse AndysFilms on 1/02/11 at 12:25 AM Nice review Gio!

Her performance is one of the year's best and with Easy A, as the film suggests, she's on our map. 1 Comments \| Send This \| Comments: MovieFreak on 12/26/10 at 09:28 PM Nice review. 0 Replies \| Report Abuse

Regarding the buzz 'bout it paying tribute to the classics, I agree with it. I saw the clear influences of Polanski especially his film Rosemary's Baby.

It's clever and the tension slowly builds up until you're left with a disturbing and inexplicable climax. 2 Comments \| Send This \| Comments: MovieFreak on 12/26/10 at 09:30 PM It looked as if it was made back in the 90s or something.
