1. The Proposal (M) - better than expected, loved the cute little white dog!

2. Knowing (G) - pretty good

3. Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince (G) - pretty good, waiting for the next one.



4. Treeless Mountain (M) - best film so far!

5. The Ugly Truth (M) - boring, zzzz (snore)...

6. Transformers 2 (G) - ok, eh...



7. X-Men Origins Wolverine (G) - thumbs up from Greg!

8. Adam (M) - charming, sweet

9. Away We Go (M) - weird, boring, zzz....

10. Watchmen (G) - thumbs down from Greg.



11. All About Steve (M) - breath of fresh air, funny - "I figure if you miss a bus, maybe you weren't meant to take it...", just what I needed

12. The Hurt Locker (G/M) - good, not great, I think my expectations were too high

13. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (M/G) - Fantastic!



14. The Hangover (G/M) - hella dumb

15. Inglourious Basterds (G/M) - a bit gross and violent, but overall, a good flick

16. Grey Gardens (M) - very interesting, I am interested in seeing the original documentary

17. Wendy and Lucy (M) - simple tale of human struggle, rather liked it



18. Cloverfield (G) - held our attention, acting wasn't so good, glad I didn't see it in the theater because it would've made me nauseous

19. The Year my Parents Went on Vacation (M) - enjoyed this charming, touching Brazilian indie film

20. Departures (M) - Japanese indie film with sub-titles, probably the best movie out of our January movies from Blockbuster, touching story, bring your kleenex

21. Fame (M) - slightly cheese-y but good dancing and singing

22. Terminator - Salvation (G) - Greg liked it!

23. Year One (G)- dumb, if not for Michael Cera and the gag reel, it would've been a complete flop

24. The Wrestler (G/M) - solid performance by Mickey Rourke & cast, he should've won the Oscar



We made 6 trips to Blockbuster - good thing it's only a couple blocks away!



G - Greg's choice

M - Maile's choice
