I don't understand anyone's hate of Avatar.

Split, what didn't you "get" about The Hurt Locker? I'm just curious...

Wow. I'm sorry...

Let's see if I can win the short month. I ended on a three win streak...

@N_Scholer

No haikus, sorry...

Daybreakers - * out of *****

The Messenger - *** out of *****

NO.

Taking Woodstock - ** out of *****

Ang Lee's direction

Always great, never falters

Blame the boring script

Isn't it though?

I'm complex.

Like this...

Because Anne Hathaway turned it down...

Couples Retreat - ** out of *****

Comedy is fun

Full of love, life, happy times

None of the above

I disagree about Knocked Up.

It shows women as grounded individuals. The main plot and subplot are both functions of this with opposing results in their given relationships.

Edge Of Darkness - ** out of *****

We telegraph plot

In every word exchange

In case you slumber

The Book Of Eli - ** out of *****

Kunis sets the tone

Style over substance rules

Good ending wasted

They've said she is a cool person to be around and didn't have a bad experience working with her.

She badmouthed Knocked Up, saying that it portrayed it's female characters as humorless shrews.

To stop myself from spending all night on a review, I'll tackle criticism in a different way. Haiku...

Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans - ** out of *****

Nic Cage, drug zombie

Overact to save the film

'Til the break of dawn

Departures - **** out of *****

Slow, heart string tugger

Will be a bore to some folk

Others will praise it

It's really easy...but still fun.

The Informant - *** out of *****

Occasionally my girlfriend and I give each other a "What!?! No!" delivered in the Wahlberg style. Thanks Marky...

I saw it today.

I'd be embarrassed if I had anything to do with this movie. I expect more from anything that receives studio financing...

The Fourth Kind - * out of *****

Avatar - **** out of *****

The Tooth Fairy - ** out of *****

I'm at four.

We'll see how my decision to wait until tomorrow night on the next play works...

Brothers - **** out of *****

Another good one. I'm on quite a streak...

Marvel will still win with Disney behind them and four(or more) individual Avenger movies before the SUPER-ULTRA-MEGA Avenger movie...

I'm starting to do a lot better after a big losing streak...7 of 8 in the last eight picks.

I'm coming for that number one spot, Sahyder.
