The Matrix Revolutions
This redeemed the series for me. I like how they spent more time in
the real world than in the matrix, and it was more gruesome than I was
expecting.
Session 9
Freaking creepy, and the fact that it was shot in an actual mental
hospital that had really been abandoned for over 15 years makes it even
better. Oddly enough, though, I think it would've been scarier without
the added "supernatural" element.
The Matrix Reloaded
One word: boring. Action, plot, costumes, everything. It tried way
too hard to be flashy, and the only interesting part is the last 15
minutes.
Hitman
Empty and lame. Robert Knepper is the best part of the entire thing.
2013 edit: Seriously, Timothy Olyphant was the star of this movie? Who knew?

Paris, je t'aime
This was hard to get into because the first few stories are about
meeting and nothing else, and I felt like they weren't complete. It
turned out alright, though, with lots of recognizable people. The best
exchange in the movie is when someone asks Natalie Portman's character
if she's an actress. Answer: "I'm trying to be one."
Hot Fuzz
The first half was great, but it lost something when it switched to action and dragged on for far too long
Zodiac
Despite the fact that this version is much better than The Zodiac, I
didn't nearly fall asleep during The Zodiac like I did while watching
this. The aesthetics here are more interesting, as is the tack of
focusing less on the killings and more on the people affected by them.
It also has a more solid, satisfying ending.
