Gran Torino

This movie is probably at the bottom of the list of all the movies I've blogged about recently. The dialogue was really choppy and some of the Asian actors were just not very good. Clint Eastwood seemed old and the although it was semi-funny hearing him call Asians every racist name you have heard and more the movie was better in the previews I thought. I give it a 2 out of 5.

I really loved The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I thought the screenplay was great and I loved the story. The acting was also good. Brad Pitt did a great job and the makeup people did amazing work making him go from an old man all the way to a teenager. I can't say if I liked it better than Slumdog Millionaire yet though. They are two completly different movies and I liked them both for different reasons. I'll hold judgement on that until later. Until then, I'll give them the same rating of 3.5 out 5.

Doubt

If I was to rank this movie with the best picture nominees from last year, I would probably have it ahead Atonment but nothing else. It is about the a Catholic priest who may or may not have molested a child and the head nun is trying to get him kicked out of the school. I really thought the acting in this movie was great. Philip Seymour Hoffman was great. There is a scene when he and Meryl Streep are arguing and it is very powerful. They really worked very well together. I give it a 3 out of 5, just behind Slumdog Millionaire.

Sleeping Dog

This is hilarious.

Slumdog Millionaire

It's Oscar time again and I love seeing all the best picture nominees. The nominees haven't come out yet but this is probably going to be one. The cinematography and music made the movie. It was great to watch and an uplifting story. I give it a 3.5 out of 10.
