#39 "Juno"

We went and caught Juno this past weekend during the blizzard. What can i say. Its as funny as it looks. The only bad part was the scene with Rainn Wilson. Pretty much every line he has is in the trailer so it really wasn't that funny seeing it for the umpteenth time. I also could have used a few more scenes with JK Simmons in them that guy is hilarious.
Best lines of the movie:
Jennifer Garner "Have you ever thought you were just born to do a certain thing with your life"
JK Simmons "Yes! An HVAC Repairman."

#38 "The Mist"

We just got back from seeing Stephen King's "The Mist." Seriously I am speechless. This movie was one of the best movies I have seen this year. Its incredibly intelligent and thought-provoking. Its probably categorized as a horror film, but it is far more. It reminded me of another mislabeled horror film, "Frailty" which came out a few years ago. Not in plot, but in feeling.
I honestly don't know what I can say except SEE THIS MOVIE.

#37 "Resident Evil 3: Extinction"

Ok I'll admit it. Vonny and I love Milla Jovavich films. Why? Probably because she kicks all sorts of ass in them. This film was pretty good and had some interesting additions to the zombie genre. Most notably Zombie Crows.The film doesn't stand on its own. The other two will need to be viewed for it to make sense. I have seen the other two, but either I don't remember key details or they never existed. Being that the movie is taken from a video game the plot is generated from that. Does any of this matter. No because if you didn't see it already you aren't going to. That being said:

Recommended
Resident Evil 3: Extinction

#36 "King Corn"

This is a little independent documentary about corn. "Boring!" you say. Not so. The film explores how corn makes its way from the field into nearly everything we eat. This is something that I had noticed over the years, but the makers take the time to tell us why this is. I would say that this is probably the best documentary I have seen this year. It doesn't go on the offensive like so many documentaries do these days, but shows both sides of the story with a humanizing perspective. The film is not perfect. Fortunately what it lacks in is not in presentation of information, but in technical skills of the makers. However this is their first film, and undoubtedly their skills will get better over time

Highly Recommended

#35 "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"

This film is being heralded as one of the best of the year. I would say it maybe cracks my top 10. I saw it with 4 others, three of whom hated it. It follows a non-linear path which didn't bother me, but did most all others seeing it. Personally I think they were just looking for another reason to dislike it. Especially since they all like Tarantino. It has an interesting premise, but a group of characters that no one could like. I wold say that if you want to go see this then instead go to the video store and rent Sidney Lumet's best film "Dog Day Afternoon"

Best line in reaction to the film: "If I never see a Phillip Seymore Hoffman sex scene again it will be too soon."

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead
somewhat recommended

#34 "Bourne Ultimatum"

Well if you are thinking to yourself, "I don't know if I should see this, because I don't remember the first one and never saw the second." Let me assure you that you have nothing to worry about. Its really just a 2 hours of chases and explosions. Its start with a good premise that quickly ends. This was too bad because it could have been a much better plot than the one that they went with.
A garden variety espionage thriller that I wouldn't recommend.

Not Recommended
