Inglourious Basterds (2009) - Rated 22 Aug 2009
"Inglourious Basterds is assuredly and irrefutably the best film you are going to get from 2009. It accentuates all of QT's trademark ascertainments, and the editing is enduringly primary Tarantino. The script is the best I've ever heard in a while, with enough sapient dialogue that could fatigue and prostrate even the most prudent of films. The cast is excellent, with Brad Pitt giving a exotic and chimerical yet good performance. But Christoph Waltz kills in this one as a indomitable detective."

Hoop Dreams (1994) - Rated 21 Jul 2009
"Not only does James prospect, scrutinize and analyse the two boy's courageous perseverance and adherence, but also their economical and academic import. It takes an enormous quantity of desire and hope to reach the status these two boys did, but they have confirmed right here that anything is possible. The best documentary I've ever seen and also one of the best single movies I've ever sat through. Remarkable in every regard."

The Book of Eli (2010) - Rated 16 Jan 2010
"I did not expect The Book of Eli to be this good. It's a first-rate post-apocalyptic action thriller with touches of religion that humbly takes a close third behind The Road and Children of Men. Denzel Washington demonstrates his pure dominance and ascendancy towards the other cast members, while Oldman puts his veteran acting abilities to the test with his praiseworthy and honorable performance here. A strong film to begin the year."

A Serious Man (2009) - Rated 04 Feb 2010
"The Coens strike again. An irregular yet cerebral and tragic comedy with discursively digressive humor that sets the mood for the rest of the film as our main character strives to find the meaning of life, the edification and literacy of truth. The ending is just as unresolved and vaguely hinted As No Country For Old Men. Gopnick is so passive, unwilling and devoid of any passion. But you know what, this was the directors' intention, and I loved it."

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) - Rated 24 Jun 2009
"Bay spends more investments and thousands of dollars making this completely worthless attainment. Transformers fight doltishly and moronically as loud booming and pounding noises are made in the background. Mercenaries fight off Decepticons to heavy metal music and techno, and Shia Labeouf stumbles and falls like an insipid idiot. Oh, and did I forget the eruption of explosions that occur every five seconds or so? I didn't? Oh well."

Let the Right One In (2008) - Rated 28 Dec 2008
"A slow, gently constructed nefarious yet extremely eerie and subtle romance powerhouse with a fresh, unique spin on the almost defunct vampire genre with great performances and uncanny chemistry in the relationship between Oskar and the fanged-freak Eli. Let the Right One In has achieved success in critical regions most horror films have left untouched for many long years. It may not feel completely whole, but it's a LOT better than what we got with Twilight. One of the best movies of 2008."

Philadelphia (1993) - Rated 06 Feb 2010
"Upon watching this film my love for Hanks has been renewed thanks to his extraordinary performance here. Philadelphia is a well-directed, well-paced and just downright mindblowing film. It primarily converges on prejuidice and cumulatedly questions the equality of all the people in America. Demme insightfully releases a cornucopia of profundity to the plotline and characters, piling up the severity and awareness of these two priorities. A film that is extremely hard to forget."
