Hmm .... Where should I begin? Well, this was definitely the funniest movie I've seen in a while. I guess the key to Sacha Baron Cohen's movies is "unexpectedness." Borat came out of nowhere in 2006 .... People weren't really ready for it, but it opened up SBC to mainstream audiences and quickly became one of the most beloved/popular movies of the year. NOTHING could have prepared me for Bruno. SBC once again comes out of nowhere, this time delivering what many could describe as a feature-length porno. This might just be the raunchiest theatrical movie I've ever seen. True, a lot of the nudity is censored, but that's only because of pressure from the rest of the dicks and **** flopping around. But it's impossible not to laugh watching this movie. I find it hard to believe that it wasn't staged, because there's no way I could make this movie without laughing. I saw Bruno on Monday and I still have a bad taste left in my mouth ....

Updated for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Star Trek: A++
Shows me why JJ Abrahms is the man and why I want to make movies some day. This was exactly what a Star Trek movie should have been for a new generation. It was hilarious, beautiful and epic all in the same breath and possibly gathered together the best grouping of future talent in Hollywood that we'll see in a while. Pine, Quinto, Urban, Yelchin, Cho, Saldana, Pegg all were great and Bana was fantastic as Nero. Pine as Hal Jordan!
The Hangover: A+
Legitametly the funniest movie I've seen in years. This movie was freaking hilarious and left me wanting to see it again almost immediately after I had just seen it. Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zack GalifaIcan'tpronouncehiswholename were all awesome. Funny, funny movie and alongside Star Trek as the best movie this year.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: A
While I don't think it was the best adaptation of a Pottter film, I do think it is the best movie of the series so far. I thought that the effects used were perfect and the humor in this one was great. The performances by Gambon, Rickman, Radcliffe and Jim Broadbent as Slughorn especially were amazing and this film only has me excited for the final two Deathly Hallows films.
Up: A
Another fantastic film from Pixar, it was heartfelt and touching which is to be expected from Pixar. The animation, the humor, the plot were all perfect in this completely unique and wonderful plot. Another great Pixar film from a company that has yet to dissapoint.
Wonder Woman: A
So far it's the best animated film that DC has put out, though I do love New Frontier and enjoyed Doomsday. Great actors selected for it and essentally a perfect adaptation of the Wonder Woman mythology. And Fillion's in it so I'm obliged to enjoy it.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: A-
Not as good as the first film, but it has its great moments throughout. The CGI was some of the greatest I had ever seen and the first fight between Optimus, Megatron and Starscream was awesome. The story might have lacked but I'm ranking this based on for what it was, not for how good of a movie it was. It gets knocked up from a B to an A- two grading slots for each of Megan Fox's funbags.
Watchmen: B+
The most hyped film of the year and a near perfect adaptation of the greatest graphic novel. Near perfect renderings of Doc Manhattan, Rorsach and Comedian with likeable portrayals of Night Owl and Silk Spectre. The only thing keeping it out of A range is the awful portrayal of Ozymandias. Great flick though.
Wolverine: C+
Oh so much potential for greatness. A feel as if the first half of this film was near perfect for a Wolverine move. Hugh Jackman stole the show again and Liev Shriber played a wicked Sabretooth. I found the rest of Team X great until they jumped forward in years, turned Blob into a characature, introduced the dreaded Gambit and obliterated Deadpool. Great start dissapointing finish. I'd put it as the third best X-Men film going X2, X-Men, Wolverine and then Last Stand.
Dragonball: F-
I went to this movie wasted. I don't know if I threw up because of the movie or the Captain. Well so long to your career Chow Yun Fat.

Haven't made the list yet this year. Here goes:
Watchmen - Pretty good. Not how I would've done it, but they put so much effort into how they did it that it payed off. A book-accurate Ozymandias might've made it a whole point higher. It's basically in the same category of b-t-f adaptations as the Potter films - no match for the book, but very cool to see for fans of it. And once in a while, sheer magic. 8/10.
Taken - Exciting, straight-forward, cool. Neeson is cool. 6.5/10.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - I enjoyed this, but basically, they just weren't making a good movie. So they just pumped up what they had as best as they could, and it turned out okay. It also just felt kind of dated.... seenitamilliontimes.... know what I mean? 6/10
Star Trek - First movie I can remember seeing in a while where the special effects actually impressed me. A great, fun action-adventure with a cast that completely sells it. I want more emotion and depth in a film, but this was the rare "great" movie that still manages without it. I hope it's there in the sequels, though. 8.5/10.
Terminator: Salvation - Pointless, dry, completely unengaging. Anton Yelchin was awesome, and Sam Worthington, for some reason, just really has something. I look forward to seeing more of both of them. But Conner was flat and the plot went absolutely nowhere. I'm disappointed in Bale for being so involved with this. And that stupid alternate ending they wanted to use.... damn.... 5/10
Outlander - This was pretty cool. A humanoid alien crash-lands in Viking-Era Norway. I like Jim Caviziel a lot and overall thought this was done pretty well. 8/10.
UP - The best, most touching thing I've seen from Pixar in years. I still wanted more, but as it was there wasn't really anything wrong with it. 9/10.
Tranformers: Revenge Of The Fallen - SFX porn with a likeable cast, especially Sam and his parents. I don't think this one felt as epic as the first, but it was good. 7/10.
Knowing - Stunning. Why isn't Shyamalan capable of this kind of thing anymore? Refreshing, creative, very suspenseful, amazing disaster sequences.... not to overhype it, but maybe the most I've enjoyed a movie this year. They clearly believed in the film they were making, which is more than I can say for a lot of films. 9/10
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince - Probably the best one yet, and certainly the most unique, beautiful, and magical to me. The problems that all the films have had still apply, but even those not as much. I loved it. 9/10.
Push - Fun, fast, good effects and well-directed action sequences.... the plot was extremely confusing in brief spurts, but I was pretty satisfied by it. A lot of the stuff that made Heroes good in the first place works here. 7.5/10
Watchmen - Pretty good. Not how I would've done it, but they put so much effort into how they did it that it payed off. A book-accurate Ozymandias might've made it a whole point higher. It's basically in the same category of b-t-f adaptations as the Potter films - no match for the book, but very cool to see for fans of it. And once in a while, sheer magic. 8/10.

Star Trek: 10/10
I can't think of anything I didn't like about this movie. I thought it was by far the most enjoyable movie I've seen this year and probably last year too (I liked it more than The Dark Knight, which although it was a great movie didn't really seem to know when to stop). Loved it.
The Hangover: 9.5/10
Hilarious. The three main leads were great together, and I really liked how they told the story. Ed Helms' fiancee was a *****, so I was glad that he ditched her for Heather Graham. Very good.
Adventureland: 9/10
I liked this movie alot. Nice blend of comedy and real emotion. All of the actors were good, and it was nice to see that there weren't alot of traditional cliches.
Wonder Woman: 9/10
I loved it. This convinces me that a live action Wonder Woman movie can work well. Steve Trevor was awesome. I seriously can't think of anything I didn't like about it.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: 8.5/10
Pretty good. I've never been a huge fan of the Harry Potter movies, but it did strike me in this movie just how amazing what they have done is. Six movies (soon to be eight) with primarily all the same cast members. It's pretty exceptional when you think about it. This was probably one of the best of the lot. I had no problem with the changes, but then again I have no idea what changes they made.
Up: 8.5/10
Very good. I wouldn't say this is my favorite Pixar movie, that still goes to The Incredibles, but this was still good. I'm only knocking it a bit because I didn't really feel that connected to any of the characters, but that could have had something to do with the way I saw it. Doug was the best though.
Watchmen: 8/10
I may be being too generous but I thought it was fairly good. After thinking about it there are quite a few things that Snyder should have done differently (Oxymandias, some of the ending stuff, the fighting sequences, big blue penis, Hallelujah...) but more or less I think he got it right. I can't wait for the extended edition.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: 7/10
I didn't like this as much as the first one, but it was entertaining. Some awesome CGI. The story kinda made sense, at least enough to get me through the movie. I'm trying not to think about the plot too much. The fight between Optimus and the Fallen was surprisingly anticlimactic, especially incomparison to the battle that's going on before this. All in all it was enjoyable though more than a bit mindless.
Taken: 6.5/10
This was a great action movie...that's about it.
Terminator Salvation: 6/10
While it wasn't as good as the first two Terminator movies, it seemed better than the 3rd (I haven't seen it in a while). In general, it was a decent action movie with patches of awesomeness. Most of these moments belonged to Sam Worthington, who stole the show. Am I the only one that is starting to think that Bale is becoming a bit one note? I don't think this was nearly as bad as some people make it out to be.
Confessions of a Shopaholic: 5.5/10
Isla Fisher was hot as usual. Besides that nothing special. It was at least entertaining though.
Bruno: 5/10
While some of the stuff in the movie was funny, alot wasn't. Some of it was stuff that was either featured in ads, or was used by SBC in promoting the movie. I liked Borat more. I could have done without the swinging penis, but I guess I should have expected that.
Defiance: 4.5/10
I thought this was kinda boring. It wasn't nearly as "actiony" as I thought it was going to be. But then again that may be my fault. Certainly worth checking on DVD, but I don't think it was worth the $8 I paid to see it in a theater.
Wolverine: 3/10
While I didn't go in expecting a great movie like Iron Man or TDK, I thought it might be fun. Sadly, with the exception of Deadpool, this movie was pretty boring. I didn't see anything that I hadn't seen in previous movies.
Star Trek: 10/10

Watchmen - 7/10
I'm not sure how to rate this. It's good but not great. Enjoyable. A worthy adaptation. Probably the closest we'll come to a great film version of Watchmen. But there are still flaws... flaws that would always be there because it was a comic, not a film. But yeah... it's good enough for me. 8 might be too high but 6 might be too low, so I think 7 is right for me. The movie made me realise even more how brilliant the story Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons have created is and I doubt I will ever see this again as I'd rather read the graphic novel instead.
Monsters Vs. Aliens - 7/10
Predictable story but great animation and a brilliant voice cast. Really enjoyable and a lot of fun.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - 3/10
A lot of potential that is completely wasted. A movie that is sometimes about Wolverine but mainly all over the place.
Star Trek - 9/10
I loved it. I don't have anything else to say.
Angels & Demons - 6/10
A decent movie with a pretty good cast that seem to be wasted. It's entertaining and an average thriller and worth seeing but I doubt I'll ever bother seeing it again. Tom Hanks deserves to be in better movies than this.
State of Play - 8/10
An interesting thriller and an entertaining movie. Some of it does get bogged down with the twists but the excellent cast makes up for it. Like DSF, I now want to see the original mini series and it has me interested in a career in journalism.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 6/10
I didn't like it as much as the first one but it was still an entertaining action movie. Some of it was annoying and some of it was actually really funny. Not sure if the comedy is a good or a bad thing. Wanted to see more of Isabel Lucas (Alice, the Decepticon Pretender that went after Sam at college). Some really epic fights and amazing special effects. The more I think about this though, the more I think how different it would be if I got a crack at it. And it sort of disappoints me that this is what we have to settle with.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - 7/10
While some of it is really stupid, it doesn't take you out of the movie and the cast's charm and strength makes up for any mistakes. The movies are mediocre adaptations from the books (I wonder how well I would enjoy them if I hadn't read the books, for example) but I really like the style and the tone of each movie as the series progresses. While I disagree with the idea of splitting the last movie into two, I will see them, probably enjoy them, but probably never have a desire to see them again. More than anything, these movies make me realise how much I enjoyed the books, and I guess that's a good enough reason for seeing the movie.

A lot of potential that is completely wasted. A movie that is sometimes about Wolverine but mainly all over the place.
Star Trek - 9/10
I loved it. I don't have anything else to say.
Angels & Demons - 6/10
A decent movie with a pretty good cast that seem to be wasted. It's entertaining and an average thriller and worth seeing but I doubt I'll ever bother seeing it again. Tom Hanks deserves to be in better movies than this.
State of Play - 8/10
An interesting thriller and an entertaining movie. Some of it does get bogged down with the twists but the excellent cast makes up for it. Like DSF, I now want to see the original mini series and it has me interested in a career in journalism.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 6/10
I didn't like it as much as the first one but it was still an entertaining action movie. Some of it was annoying and some of it was actually really funny. Not sure if the comedy is a good or a bad thing. Wanted to see more of Isabel Lucas (Alice, the Decepticon Pretender that went after Sam at college). Some really epic fights and amazing special effects. The more I think about this though, the more I think how different it would be if I got a crack at it. And it sort of disappoints me that this is what we have to settle with.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - 7/10
While some of it is really stupid, it doesn't take you out of the movie and the cast's charm and strength makes up for any mistakes. The movies are mediocre adaptations from the books (I wonder how well I would enjoy them if I hadn't read the books, for example) but I really like the style and the tone of each movie as the series progresses. While I disagree with the idea of splitting the last movie into two, I will see them, probably enjoy them, but probably never have a desire to see them again. More than anything, these movies make me realise how much I enjoyed the books, and I guess that's a good enough reason for seeing the movie.

What compelled you to see this movie?

A few reasons. I met Hugh Dancy last week, the male lead, and I thought I'd see his big claim to fame (so far). Two, Entertainment Weekly, the mag in which I put my trust in, gave basically the only positive review to it (and a very positive one at that, an A-). But really, the main reason I saw it is because I ****ing love Isla Fisher.

Stay tuned for ratings for: Transformers 2, Moon, (500) Days of Summer, Bruno, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince... and POTENTIALLY The Brothers Bloom, if I get around to it tomorrow afternoon.
Here's a SPOILER for you crazy kids!

(500) Days of Summer is getting the #1 spot, because, damn... That's the best thing I've seen this year so far.

This was half-way decent. Better than I expected it to be. There were a lot of funny parts. And Amy Adams was sodam hawt as Amelia Earhart.
