Notorious(2009)-7/10->Though it doesn't have much insight,Notorious has great visuals,some ok performances,but after all it's Biggie's music that rules the stage.

Office Space(1999)-8/10->Office Space is hilarious and it's really original and inventive.

Julie And Julia(2009)-7/10->Julie and Julia is much better than the other rom-coms these days thanks to Meryl Streep and Amy Adams,but also a interesting story.

9(2009)-8/10->9 has an original idea,great character development and the animation is absolutely fantastic.

Gulliver's Travels(2010)-3/10->Jack Black makes quite a few laughs,but this adaptation is a dirty shame.

Little Fockers(2010)-5/10->Even if it's a bit funnier than the second one,it's cliched script and it's gross jokes ruin it.

Idiocracy(2006)-7/10->Idiocracy is interesting and quite funny,but it's script is a bit too absurd to be believable.

Extract(2009)-7/10->It's premise promises us more than this.Still,it's funny and original.And there's some dark humor in there,too.

Black Swan(2010)-8.5->Black Swan is great.The music,the visuals,Natalie Portman,Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel.Even if it gets a bit too dramatic at a point.

The Virginity Hit(2010)-7/10->The Virginity Hit is funnier than the other "Lose Your Virginity" movies,but it's too clicheic to work.

The Girlfriend Experience(2009)-6.5/10->The Girlfriend Experience has an interesting premise and Steven Soderbergh's style is as good as it'll ever get,but it's a bit too dull.

Boardwalk Empire(2010)-10/10->Boardwalk Empire has great performances,unexpectedly good humor,the sets are stunning and this portrayal of the times of the prohibition is wonderful.Go on.Make the second season faster.

Crazy Heart(2009)-8/10->Crazy Heart has a mindblowing soundtrack and a good script,but this isn't Jeff Bridges's role of a lifetime.Nor it is Oscar worthy.

The Kids Are All Right(2010)-9/10->TKAAR is funny,unpredictable and Annette Bening deserves an Oscar for this.One of the best movies 2010 brought us.

School Of Rock(2003)-8/10->Jack Black,the humor and the music make this a great comedy.

Donnie Darko(2001)-8.5/10->Donnie Darko is puzzling and it's a great debut for both Gyllenhaal and Kelly.See it with your mind clear.

Southland Tales(2006)-7/10->It's fun and it's an interesting vision of the future,but that's no reason for it to be over the line absurd and it to have 2 hours and almost a half.

The Box(2009)-7/10->The Box has an interesting premise and great visuals but some moments are just too fake to be believable.

The Dilemma(2011)-5/10->The Dilemma is quite funny,but it doesn't decide even if it's a drama or a comedy.Also it's really formulaic.

Tangled(2010)-9/10->Tangled is funny,it has great visuals and a compelling story.I cried.Enough said.

Life As We Know It(2010)-7/10->Life As We Know It is much much more OK than most of the rom-com in 2010.

Mr Woodcock(2008)-5/10->Mr Woodcock is unfunny and though Billy Bob Thornton is trying to make it work,it doesn't.

Poltergeist(1982)-7/10->Poltergeist is fun and unexpected,but it's way too absurd to be taken seriously.

Pet Sematary(1989)-3/10->This is one of the worst adaptations of a book by Stephen King(though the screenplay is written by him)and it has one of the worst casts ever.

Mulholland Drive(2001)-7/10->Mulholland Drive doesn't make too much sense but it's uplifted by some fine performances by Naomi Watts and Justin Theroux and some OK visuals.Lynch fans will enjoy it.

Tristram Shandy:A Cock And Bull Story(2005)-8/10->Tristram Shandy is funny with some fine performances from Steve Coogan and Rob Bryden.

American History X(1998)-9/10->American History X has Edward Norton at his best and it tells a compelling story of change.

O Brother,Where Art Thou(2001)-8/10->It's funny and it has great characters,but it's script is not as good as it's humor.

Irreversible(2002)-7/10->Irreversible is filmed in a confusing way and the twist is way too shocking,but it can tell a story backwards and Cassel,Bellucci and Dupontel give some OK performances.

I Stand Alone(1998)-7/10->I Stand Alone is dark,but also funny(in a strange way) and towards the end it gets a bit confusing and more disturbing.

Wayne's World(1992)-8/10->Wayne's World is quirky and stupid.Just enough to be good.

Burn After Reading(2008)-7/10->It has a variety of funny characters,but in the end it gets too paranoic for it's own good.

Intolerable Cruelty(2003)-8/10->Clooney and Zeta Jones have a bit of chemistry and it's as funny as any Coen Brothers movie but it's predictable and twists are too often in this movie.

Charlie Wilson's War(2007)-7/10->Charlie Wilson's War has a great performance from Phillip Seymour Hoffman and the story is interesting but there isn't too much insight of it.

Citizen Kane(1941)-10/10->Citizen Kane has a great script telling the rise and fall story of a sometimes good man and most of the times a bad man,one of the best performances ever(Orson Welles as Kane),an interesting story and these make it one of the best movies ever.

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood(1996)-3/10->It's one of the funnier Wayans Brothers movies but in the end it's another disgusting unfunny movie.

The Big Kahuna(1999)-7/10->The Big Kahuna has good performances and it's funny,but it gets dull overtime.

Gummo(1997)-8/10->Gummo is dark,features a great performance from Jacob Reynolds and it tells us some sad stories with the help of it's good script.

The Usual Suspects(1995)-9/10->The Usual Suspects is thrilling,the cast is big and good and the end is really impredictible.

Trash Humpers(2009)-7/10->Trash Humpers is funny(in a really dark and weird way) and though you think at first it's just a stupid attempt to make an experimental movie,in the end it's an ok movie.

What Just Happened,Tron,Imagine That,The Sound Of Music,The Chronicles Of Narnia:The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader,Faster,Bickford Shmecklers Cool Ideas

What Just Happened(2008)-5/10->Even if it has DeNiro struggling to do a good job and some funny moments,What Just Happened is boring and the characters are just awful people.

Tron(1982)-7/10->Tron contains an interesting premise,great effects for it's time and a good performance from Jeff Bridges but not so much script.

Imagine That(2009)-4/10->Eddie Murphy is horrible in this film,the humor is a bit too dark for a kids movie and it's not educational at all(Thomas Haden Church's character and his son drink a ton of Red Bull in a scene).But there is hope for Yara Shahidi to make us proud with better movies than this.

The Sound Of Music(1965)-9/10->With great performances all around and a damn fine soundtrack The Sound Of Music enchants you.

The Chronicles Of Narnia:The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader 3D(2010)-8/10->Fine humor,great performances,good story and stunning special effects(3D Is awesome).A great way to(probably) end the saga.

Faster(2010)-5/10->Faster give us another slow story of massacre redemption and it doesn't deliver what it should(Blood with no emotions).But what it gives us is an unusually compelling performance from Dwayne"The Rock"Johnson.

Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas(2006)-3/10->It's not funny,it's not cool and it's certainly not intelligent.It's a movie without essence.

Fast Food Nation,You Again,Due Date,Unstoppable

Fast Food Nation(2006)-7/10-Well told with some good performances on the side,Fast Food Nation is an OK film with a kind of an unexpected ending.

You Again(2010)-4/10-A clichéd but funnier than average rom-com.

Due Date(2010)-6.5/10-It is sometimes funny but it cancels out with some of the bad jokes and sudden character development.Do not expect The Hangover.

Unstoppable(2010)-9/10-Dynamically shot with a pace that will keep you on the edge for 100 minutes,Unstoppable also features a great performance from Denzel Washington and tells us a compelling story.
