1. A Boy Named Charlie Brown- "Owning 10% of Charlie Brown is like owning 10% of nothing!"
2. Crazy Love- Documentary about a guy who threw acid on a former girlfriend's face, blinding her. Pretty interesting.
3. Wristcutters: A Love Story- Quirky little story. Liked it a lot.
4. District 9- Liked this a lot. Pretty different.
5. The Maiden Heist- Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken and William H. Macy. Very cool quirky indie-type film. Don't know if this just got a limited release or we just weren't paying attention, but this was really good.
6. Julie & Julia- LOVED the Julia stuff, didn't care one way or the other about the Julie stuff. Meryl Streep really can do anything.
7. The Rare Breed- Jimmy Stewart, Maureen O'Hara, and Juliet Mills. Brian Keith plays what has to be one of the inspirations for Groundskeeper Willie
8. Cover Girl- Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly. Pretty cute, if predictable. Phil Silvers and Gene made the movie. Rita was just the pretty face.
9. Big Fan- Um...good, but creepy. Sports Obsession taken to the extreme. Patton Oswalt was really good in this.
10. Zigfield Follies- You have let me down Turner Classic Movies! Let me down! Somehow hearing that William Powell was "playing" Zigfield made me think that this was a movie about the follies, not a bunch of folly skits....sketches...whatever. They were okay and all, especially the Astaire/Kelly number, but not what I was in the mood for. Guess there OTHER movie where William Powell plays Zigfield is the movie about the follies.
11. Moon. This was good. Really well acted, liked the Compy played by Kevin Spacey and a smiley face quite a bit. Skip the short film that's also on the DVD though. It's not super short, and not that good. No idea the director was David Bowie's son til I IMDB'd it later
12. Taking Woodstock- I liked it. Freaking loved Liev Schriber.
13. Roman Holiday- TCM on Demand. Very good. Kept wondering who the friend was. Looked him up, he's the guy from Green Acres! Gregory Peck was awesome. Audrey Hepburn was awesome. Pretty much made me want to run away and play around for a whole day.
14. Pinky- TCM on Demand again. Part of Black History Month. Man, racism sucks.
15. Pop Star on Ice- Johnny Weir's documentary. Really interesting. I guess Sundance aired it as a precursor to his reality show. I think that Johnny really got judged at the olympics based on his off-ice antics as equally as his performance. It's funny, at one point Johnny's mom is comparing Johnny and Lysacek and she's talking about how Johnny is more artist, and Lysacek is more athlete, and that's the same complaint that Plushenko had with the Olympics, that he was the athlete and Lysacek was the artist.
16. Full Grown Men- We watched it for Judah Friedlander and Amy Sedaris. Amy was in it for approximately 3 minutes, and Judah couldn't save it from the annoying twit of a lead. I didn't like this at all.
17. 13 Going on 30. Caught this on the FX HD channel while I was feeding and playing with the baby. Wasn't awful, wasn't great. It was good for something do have on while doing other things.
18. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Really cute, liked Steve the monkey.
19. It's Always Fair Weather- Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse. Really good. Kelly doing a number on rollerskates was amazing.
20. Parnell- Clark Gable, Myrna Loy. Not sure if this was a true story or not, but it was about an Irish Politian (Gable) who falls for a rival's wife (Loy). It's really bad because he's like the only Irishman who would convince England to give them Home Rule...or something. Not a great movie, not a terrible movie. AWFUL accents...for the parts where they tried to do accents. Gable and Loy do have a fair amount of chemistry though.
21. Lars & the Real Girl- Cute, better and less creepy than I thought it was going to be
22. Fai24. ryTale: A True Story. Only stoped on this because I saw Bill Nighy. I don't know why I stopped, he's been in more bad movies than good
23. Inglourious Basterds. Liked it a lot. Like Kwyj said, it wasn't nearly as gory or violent as I thought it was going to be. I guess they marketed it that way so all the dudes would go see it? Only had to close my eyes for 2 parts.
24. Will Ferrell You're Welcome America: A Final Night with George W. Bush. The part with the nicknames was my favorite part
25. The Pirate- Another Gene Kelly & Judy Garland pic. Judy wasn't really in this as much. Apparently it was one of her more drugged up/sickly periods. The last of Judy's movies that Minnelli directed. Kelly was awesome
