One of the best horror films of the year, Let the Right One In is all at once scary, haunting, and a pretty sweet love story to boot.
Romance
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Not necessarily a bad movie, but despite many solid performances, theres ultimately a disconnect in this supposed romantic comedy that isnt really much of either.
The Reader
An uneven movie with some great, subtle performances, The Reader has no easy answers and leaves us wondering about the borderline of moral reprehensibility.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
It’s a good film – not a great one – and while it deserves its many nominations, there’s an audience disconnect that will keep it from winning anything but technical trophies.
Twilight
It sucked me in more than I thought it would, and for fans of the epic tragedy of melodramatic human/vampire love, this is a film for you.
Slumdog Millionaire
Haunting and happy all wrapped into one, this love story deserves all the praise its getting and more.
