#33 "Lars and The Real Girl"

This film could have been a big dumb comedy loaded with sex jokes. Instead however it has decided to use the doll as a vehicle for exploring issues of mental illness and inter-personal relationships among family. Its an incredible intelligent and heart-wrenching story that I recommend everyone see.

Highly Recommended
Lars and The Real Girl

#32 "Superbad"

Yeah I went and saw it a again.
Favorite line "7 dollars! What are you 6 years old?"

Highly Recommended

Super Bad

#31 "The Big Sleep"

The last film in the monday night Noir series, the Big Sleep is a classic Bogey and Bacall pic. The writing was snappy and the atmosphere was great. Like a lot of these films sometimes the dialogue gets going a little too quick for me and you miss key clues, but in the end it doesn't matter as the plot is secondary.

#30 "3:10 to Yuma"

3:10 to Yuma is an average film. If you like westerns you will like this. Not really much else to say. I don't like Russell Crowe but he didn't affect my liking the film.

#29 "No Country For Old Men"

The Coen Brothers have come out with one of their best films in awhile. Its one of those films that is very good, but tough to describe. Not to mention one of the best villains, Javier Bardem's character Anton, I have ever seen in a film. I certainly will say its great, but I can't say run out in see it. One of the best films of the year, but not a film for everyone.

Highly Recommended
No Country For Old Men

#28 "Kiss Me Deadly

A newly rehabbed theater opened in Minneapolis and are doing a series of old Crime-Noir films. I was able to catch this one. It was really a lot of fun.

Private Eye Mike Hammer spends tracking leads to find out who tried to kill him in the opening scene. Along the way many people get beat up, a few die, and every woman is scantily clad (for teh 1950's.) Oh and did I mention that he makes out with all of them. The clues lead him to a mystery box filled with a glowing light that is somewhat nuclear. The opening of the box is very much like similar items in Repo Man and Pulp Fiction. Anyway I doubt you will ever see this, but if you happen across it on tv of the video store I highly recommend watching it.
