Contraband

Cool concept with lots of twists and tension.

I wanted to see Contraband before it came out, but I had pretty much shelved it until I saw Roeper's review. He said it was good, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I really liked it. It was hard to get into at first, though. That camerawork was driving me crazy. Totally unnecessary. Didn't add anything. What was the point? Either it stopped halfway through, or I just got used to it, because I didn't notice it as much after that.

3:10 to Yuma

Crowe and Bale both did an excellent job here. It drags a little toward the middle-end, but the ending is fairly satisfying.

11:14

This movie is great. The events come together perfectly and Rachel Leigh Cook is stunning. It starts out comedic, but winds up being a strong cautionary tale against doing the wrong thing.

30 Days of Night

There can't be much story here and I didn't like Josh's performance, but other than that this movie definitely delivers, especially in the gruesome department.
