PRECIOUS

PRECIOUS...surprisingly exceeded my expectations. "7"

LOVE HAPPENS

LOVE HAPPENS...I continue to hope Aaron Eckhart becomes a big star. The only way this will happen is if he passes on projects such as LOVE HAPPENS. Jennifer Aniston...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. "4"

INKHEART

INKHEART...Not all fantasy books should be made into a movie. "0"

THE ART OF THE STEAL

THE ART OF THE STEAL...When politicians and government officials want something...they will do whatever it takes to get it. "7"

ROCKY BALBOA

ROCKY BALBOA...Watched Rocky Balboa for the second time last night. When I first watched it in the theater back in December 2006 I was surprised at how good it was. It was just as good last night. Rocky Balboa is a sweet film that has a lot of tender moments. "8"

KICK-ASS

KICK-ASS...not all heroes are super, or for that matter, kick-ass. At times, great...at times, very difficult to watch. "5"

ARMAGEDDON

ARMAGEDDON...One of my top 10 summer movies of all time..."10". "Harry will do it, I know it...he doesn't know how to fail".

MOON

MOON...The dark side of the moon is a very lonely place when you only have yourself, yourself, and yourself to talk to. The most unique film of 2009. "7"

THE HURT LOCKER

THE HURT LOCKER...a good film, but as good as I expected. An Oscar winner? Maybe it was better on the big screen?

WHEN IN ROME

WHEN IN ROME...I'd rather be in Cleveland. "2"

DEADGIRL

DEADGIRL...Vile, disgusting, disturbing...everything a horror film should be. "6"

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO...Loved the book, liked the film. Lisbeth Salander is one of the best characters of the past decade. Looking forward to the American version with will be released next year. "7"

TOY STORY 3

TOY STORY 3...Finally, a really good summer film! "8"

The Ghost Writer

THE GHOST WRITER...a well crafted thriller. "7"

IRON MAN 2

IRON MAN 2...the most disappointing sequel ever? "5"

GET HIM TO THE GREEK

GET HIM TO THE GREEK...a few laugh out loud moments combined with long spans of boredom. At best, GREEK is a somewhat entertaining comedy. "5"

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN...One of the better vampire flicks I've ever seen. Beats any of the 3 released Twilight flicks by a mile. "7" Looking forward to seeing the American re-make that will be released October 1st of this year.

BROTHERS

BROTHERS...no matter how good or accomplished the actors, a strong screenplay is a must. Brothers suffers from under-developed characters and family situations that don't ring true with the audience.

THE MESSENGER

THE MESSENGER...The second most prominent Iraq War film of 2009, but its definitely the best of the two. "7".

SALT

SALT...a very flawed, but fun, cartoon-like Bourne film. "6"

MACGRUBER

MACGRUBER...When will Hollywood stop making movies based on bad Saturday Night Live skits? Not soon enough. "0"

TRANSAMERICA

TRANSAMERICA...best film about a trans-gendered person that I've ever seen. "6"

I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL

I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL...no way is this a true story. Even if it were true, its still a bad film. "3"

THE WOLFMAN

THE WOLFMAN...More bark than bite. "4"

Anthony Hopkin's 5 Best Films

1) The Legends of the Fall

2) The Edge

3) The silence of the Lambs

4) Bram Stoker's Dracula

5) Red Dragon

GROWN UPS

GROWN-UPS...Mr. Sandler, Please go away and take your talentless friends with you. "3"

THE ROAD

THE ROAD...Loved the book, liked the film. "7"

THE GOODS

I was really disappointed when I missed this movie this past summer. THE GOODS is like other bad comedies. The misleading trailer has all the funny parts front and center. It had a few laughs at the beginning, but after the initial rush of laughs and site gags...it went down hill quick. Jamie says "2".

The A-Team

The A-Team...there's no plan B. Let's hope there isn't a sequel. "5"

MAN ON WIRE

MAN ON WIRE...One of the top 5 documentaries I've seen. Suspenseful as any thriller you've ever seen. "7"

She's Out of My league

She's Out of My League...She was totally out of his league. No chemistry, and worse yet, no laughs. "4".

ECLIPSE

ECLIPSE...better than the first 2, but still a bad film. "4"
