Film time

A quick wrap up for the films out there worth watching.  Nobody wants to read reviews quick snap shots are better.

Wrestler - If you love the anti-hero, it's for you.
Frost/Nixon - Historian will love this shit, great humanization of nixon.
Revolutionary Road - If you've ever felt trapped in life, this one could suffocate you. 
Taken - If you've ever been like, one more thing goes wrong today I'm going on a rampage, then this 90 minute revenge porn is just for you.
The Wackness - Great 'make the best out of your shitty life situation' I've seen in a while, and they did the early 90s well...as i remember it.
Appaloosa - zzzzzzzzzz.
Zach and Miri Make  A Porno - All the great things about Kevin Smith and the bad parts too.  LT can't go back to his first few years and neither can Smith, sad.
Religulous - Religion is complete madness, but he takes us down the road to hell with a smile on his face.
Gran Torino - McCain meets Dirty Harry.  With a lot of ethnic slurs.  Surprisingly funny and fresh for an old director/actor.
In Bruges - Tip toed that funny/serious line with grace, who knew fucking Phone Booth could act?
Doubt - Only really enjoyable if you dealt with priests and nuns in school, they got every last detail down perfectly.
Role Models - I'd say they did the buddy comedy perfectly. 
The Reader - It was like watching a great performance in a Clipper game, it was great but who cares?
Tropic Thunder - I'd say vastly overrated, but it has plenty of memorable moments.
Milk - A great cast, who actually delivered on their promise.
