Mmmkay then. (*cough cough*). Here it is..
Honorable Mentions :
World's Greatest Dad
(What a fun fucked up film! No one saw it comin. Black comedy at it's best)
Soundtrack For A Revolution
(Awesome American civil rights lecture by some soulful singin grandmas & grandpas!)
Two Lovers
(Plain and simple an honest drama about mature love. It is good. But i don't like it much. Maybe if Wong Kar-Wai directed this it would be something else..Oh yeah,it's a great goodbye performance by Joaquin Phoenix)
Up
(Pixar films are never fails, but this one lack a distinctive edge for me)
Avatar (3D)
(MY EYES! MY EYEEEEEEEEES! AM I HIGHHHHH???!!!! GOOOOODDDD!!)
Sherlock Holmes
(It's worth seeing even if it's only to watch Robert Downey being cocky with a thick British Accent)
Julie & Julia
(Meryl Streep + Amy Adams + LOTS of delicious foods! what more could you ask for?)
Watchmen
(The story, the style and the violence just blew me away)
Funny People
(Even if it disappointed everyone to be THE monumental comedy film of our generation that it should be, it was still good. Just good though)
Coco Before Chanel
(A romantic feminist drama of a woman struggling to find who she loves & what she loves to do. The fashion in the film is just a feast for the eyes, not the main issue of the film.)
Looking For Eric
(The guy is seeing Eric Cantona everytime he's high..who doesn't?)
The Answer Man
(Great casts (Daniels!Pucci!Thirlby!Dennings!), great plot, even though a little sketchy towards the end, it still works..)
