Moon

I can't really say that I *liked* Moon, but seeing how things played out was interesting.

It seems like everybody I know has seen Moon. Somehow I didn't hear anything about it until seven years after it came out. I didn't really know what to expect. All I knew about it was basically "a guy on a space station, something something AI."

The Secret of Kells

The Secret of Kells has an interesting feel to it, but I wasn't into the animation style overall, and the story didn't really go anywhere.

I liked Song of the Sea, so my friend thought I might also like The Secret of Kells, but I didn't think it was as good. The animation was still interesting, although I've always been bothered by those Samurai Jack-style square fingers. And the cat and the wolf had spiky points for feet, which was really weird. And the cat's "X with a circle around it denotes the nose and mouth" bothered me, too. And I didn't like the linework on a lot of people's faces, like how the same line for Aidan's beard turned into his ear. Okay, maybe I really wasn't into the animation on this one.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moves along at a decent pace, without too many unnecessary distractions. There's not really anything "magical" about it, but it advances the plot, and it's better than the previous two Harry Potter movies.

I accidentally watched Harry Potter #7 before #6, but now that I've seen this one, I realize I really didn't miss much, even though it felt like I did when I watched #7. I probably should read a synopsis of "the story so far" before I watch the last one, though. I don't remember any of the Tom Riddle business, and apparently I should. I also don't remember what happened with Draco's father, but I guess something did.

Coraline

Bizarre, creepy, and not entirely appropriate for children.

Crank 2: High Voltage

A little more "out there" than the first one, but still enjoyable.

Gamer

Daybreakers

Good old Ethan Hawke, before he started looking really gaunt and creepy and old.

Armored

Julie & Julia

9

Zombieland

Inglourious Basterds

Sherlock Holmes

Avatar

Apparently James Cameron had been waiting his whole life to make Pocahontas in CG. Not exactly what I was hoping for.

I think it was really pretty, though. I'm not sure for certain because I saw it in 3D. Since I have astigmatism, I can't really see 3D that well, so it pretty much just gave me a headache. But I'm betting it was gorgeous if you could see it properly.

Ninja Assassin

Flashy and expensive, but I expected more.

Pandorum

Great movie. I love Ben Foster. The movie looked good, and it was suspenseful.

Fast & Furious

Push

District 9

Disturbing on several levels.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

They should've just made this entirely CG, since that's what half the movie was anyway. The Cobra guys' reactions of pain and fear kind of ruined it for me, but it was nice seeing Joseph for a few minutes.
