A Serious Man tackles some big questions but this occasionally funny dark comedy is a little too clever for it’s own good and is just not engrossing enough to grip the casual viewer.
Rocky
Rocky is the definitive sports movie and Sylvester Stallone’s greatest work. Every boy must see this as a rite of passage into manhood. Adriaaaan!
Capitalism: A Love Story
Not quite as entertaining as some of his work, Michael Moore’s latest documentary is still a fascinating glimpse into how the financial system the U.S. prides itself on may actually have led to its decline.
This Is It
A perfect tribute for fans, This Is It shows the process behind the creative mind AND showcases a bunch of classic pop tunes.
The Men Who Stare at Goats
This fast-paced, witty and smart blend of the Star and Iraq wars is one of the best military satires to date.
Moon
One of the best movies of the year, Moon is so much more than a story about a space station, and with a standout, virtually one-man performance from Sam Rockwell, hopefully those in the know will take interest come awards season.
