Monsers, Inc. (2001)

Waited 11 years to watch it & I loved it. Very funny and sweet.

Cashback (2006)

This was really good.  Very funny and stylish, with a lot of heart.  Not at all what I was expecting from the poster artwork.

Overnight (2003)

Not a fan of "Boondock Saints" at all, so this documentary didn't tarnish my opinion of that movie, but it didn't help my opinion of industry-folk.  Obviously Troy Duffy is, at least presenting as, a huge douche in this movie, but I'm willing to believe that although it's probably a biased portrayal of him, it's probably still a fairly accurate one.  I guess I'm willing to believe in his douchey-ness due to his incredibly douchey debut feature.  Either way, what bothered me the most about this movie was the terrible judgement of the industry-folk in this movie. 

Regardless of whether or not Miramax was ever serious about making "Boondock Saints," they certainly indulged Duffy and his cronies.  So too did the record label who was trying to cash-in on the possible success of an unmade film with media buzz.  I guess my question is, what does this sort of lack-of-judgement and wiliness to pay-out for a cliched half-baked vigilante fantasy, say about the state of the movie industry? 

Defendor (2009)

I liked this better than "Super." 

The Mexican (2001)

Re-watch.  Okay, real talk:  I love this movie.  I always have and I've never understood the negative reputation it has.  The most common complaint about this movie is that it has two huge stars in it but chooses to separate them for the whole duration of the film.  While that's true, I don't think that it's to it's detriment.  If you've ever seen the movie, you would know that the most obnoxious relationship in the movie is that of Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt in the first 10 minutes.  The truth is, if the whole movie was built around their relationship I probably wouldn't love it. 

The only other criticism I can understand about the movie is that Brad Pitt's performance is a little douchey, which it is, but he's supposed to be a really dumb American, so I don't think that it's that bad.  Either way, this movie, despite how the poster looks, is a fun little crime film, filled with clever twists and turns.     

Saved! (2004)

Re-watch.  Holds up. 

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2009)

This was very sympathetic to Polanski.  It does a good job of illustrating how royally fucked the court case was, but in the process it really whitewashes the whole rape thing. 

The Brothers Solomon (2007)

This movie still makes me chuckle.  Plus, the ending sequence where they're trying to get the word out is very funny and super sweet.
