| Title | Grade | Comments |
| Inglourious Basterds | A+ | I loved it. Christoph Waltz gave one of the finest performances I have EVER seen. And Brad Pitt saying “Arrivederci” toward the end of the film was one of the funniest deliveries of a movie line EVER. |
| Star Trek | A+ | Loved it, loved everything about it. |
| Taking Chance (HBO) | A+ | Somber, beautifully attentive to details about which most of us are totally unaware. I sobbed my eyes out. Kevin Bacon gave a wonderful performance. |
| Eastern Promises | A | I think this was a 2008 movie, but only recently saw it. Violent, dark but absolutely Superb. Viggo Mortensen is amazing. |
| District 9 | A | Loved it. Made me think and consider. Gory, violent and not pretty to look at and a bit hard to watch, but superb. |
| X-Men – Wolverine | A- | Two words: Hugh Jackman. |
| Hangover | A- | Hilarious. ‘Nuff said. |
| Watchmen | B+ | Dark and ambiguous, but I like superhero movies. |
| Angels & Demons | B | Pretty good, improbable, but good. I like Tom Hanks. |
| Public Enemies | B | Johnny Depp can hang a suit my friends. Smokin! |
| State of Play | B | Pretty good. |
| Taken | B | Liam Neeson carried this movie, but I liked it. |
| Harry Potter HBP | B | Love the world, the story, and the characters. Finely imagined and beautifully realized. |
| Transformers Revenge / Fallen | B- | Love the world, the story, etc. I am fan, but even I must acknowledge this was a bit weak. |
| Duplicity | B- | These characters have serious trust issues. Julia Robert is pretty good. |
| My Life in Ruins | B- | Beautiful scenery and Nia Vardalos is very funny and interesting. |
| The Ugly Truth | B- | Gerard Butler. I thought this was unnecessarily crude and it was hard for Kathernie Heigel to pull off some of this .. but Gerry Butler – yeah. I did miss his accent, tho. |
| Julie & Julia | B- | Very nicely done – I thought Nora Ephron’s writing was a tad light. Meryl Streep has a way of making everyone on the screen with her look good. Stanley Tucci was amazing in this role. |
| Medea Goes to Jail | B- | Funny .. Unnecessary crudeness, drug use and not subtle innuendo, but FUNNY! |
| Terminator Salvation | B- | Love the world, the story and the whole franchise. This was dark and bleak, and probably the weakest of the series. |
| Dead Like Me | B- | This used to be a series on Showtime, and they made a movie. I like it a lot. |
| My Life with Marly | B- | I like Jennifer Anniston. And what is not to like about Labrador retrievers? |
| He’s Just Not That Into You | C+ | It was okay. |
| Bride Wars | C | It was okay. Beautiful visuals. |
| The Proposal | C | It was okay – Alaska was beautiful. |
| GI Joe | C | Neat technology and I will see anything with Arnold Vosloo in it – just hoping to see him nekkid one more time. |
| Knowing | C | Nicholas Cage.. you didn’t know it was sci fi till the very end. |
| Night at the Museum Smithsonian | C- | The first one was amazing, this one, was okay I suppose. The relationship Ben Stiller had with his son in the first one was missing in this one, I think. |
