7/10
I was a little underwhelmed considering all the hype, but it was still a good, charming movie. Frances McDormand, William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi were all great as was the story, the usual unclassifiable brand of the Coens' suspense/dark comedy.
5/10
Blaxploitation/zombie flick from '74 that manages to still be fun enough despite the fact that there's virtually no gore and no nudity...considering those circumstances it could've been a lot more boring but it wasn't, it was OK. The acting was competent and the sets were funky.
8.5/10
I thought it was really good...great story about guilt and shame and the defenses we build for ourselves, taken to the extreme here. A lot of the things in the movie were telegraphed and easy to figure out but then there's the other little "twist" at the end that I don't know if anybody would have seen coming...anyway surprises or not it's still a really good, cleverly told story. And of course seeing Bale's physique in that movie compared to the Batman movies is a pretty amazing transformation.
6/10
A "classic" slasher film (one of the first apparently) that nowdays is probably pretty dated - I can't imagine anyone being scared by it in 2009 but it probably was creepy enough back when it was released...anyway it was still interesting in its own way. The phone calls were strange and disturbing and the ambigosity of the killer's identity was a neat approach. But overall I just wasn't really into it.
8/10
A good movie, very well acted by a great cast, but I wasn't too sucked up in the story and thought it was a bit hokey at times. Also wasn't as sad as I was expecting it to me and I can cry pretty easily at a movie.
10/10
How could it be anything less? Most "so bad it's good" movies unimpress me but this one was hilarious. You can't go more than 3 minutes without seeing or hearing something that makes you think "how could anybody actually think that was good?". Very highly recommended.
8/10
Really good, really cute movie. It was just a lot of fun. The animation is really incredible, I have no idea how Pixar does it.
6/10
I think my friends overhyped it before I saw it but it was still better than I expected. Some really funny moments and definitely not as stupid as it seems to be at first glance.
7/10
Probably my least favorite Coen Brothers movie so far (I've only seen Blood Simple, Big Lebowski and NCFOM and they all rank among my favorite movies ever so its stiff competition) but I still liked it. John Goodman was excellent and John Turturro was good even if his character was extremely irritating (the whole point, I suppose). I felt there was a lot of symbolism I was completely missing but then I went on Wikipedia and read that not everything in the movie is supposed to have absolute significance so I felt a bit better about it.
