The Lovely Bones. 3/10 it was hard to follow at times and has lots of flashbacks and forwards. Only good thing was Stanley Tucci's performance.

Dazed and Confused - 5/10. Way too structurally loose for me.
The last film I saw was Clash of the Titans, 3D in theatres. Besides The Lord of the Rings and Jurassic Park, it's probably my favorite movie! But it's hard to say if the 1981 film was better or worse.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall 7/10
Dune 0/10
Amadeus 10/10
A wonderful piece, though largely FICTIONAL.
best film is 'Stand by me' last film I saw was remake of 'war of worlds' crap. I do agree with Daniel about 'Jack Nicholson' 'one flew cuckoo nest is great film but so 'Awakenings'.
The last movie I saw was The Double Life of Veronique, and it was very good.
Saw 500 Days of Summer last night. It's was a pretty typical romantic comedy. So I could take it or leave it (well, really just leave it), but my wife liked it.
5/10

Die Hard 10/10 Still the most awesome action movie ever. Yippee-ki-yeh and you know the rest.
Book of Eli 10/10 This is a very good movie. Some action, yet a decent plot and character development. And a heartwarming message.

The Millenium series, originally broadcast on Swedish television. It's an extended version of the movies based on the novels by Stieg Larsson. 10/10.
The Orphan, 6.5/10
Toy Story 3 - 9/10
Just a good, sweet movie. I was just about moved to tears at the end.
An attempt at minimalist reviews:
Law Abiding Citizen - A product of Hollywood suspense which keeps you absorbed all throughout until you get to turning off the TV and thinking how preposterous it is. Well directed, but the screenwriter needs to cool it with the morality speeches. 6/10
Mall Cop - "Why the **** am I watching this?" Is pretty much what I was thinking throughout this film. But hey, it's cute. Kevin James makes for a good, honest and incredibly likable guy who works on a set filled with product placement opportunities. The love interest (isn't there's always one?) is unfitting for the role and too blonde. Not-so-surprisingly the Hollywood script can't handle just a likable mall cop. Character introspections? That's too boring for us! 5/10
La Grande Illusion - Renoir delivered one of the greatest double-punches in movie history with this anti-war masterpiece and The Rules of the Game two years later. Very few films reach the acting ability and beauty of this film. It is humanist cinema if ever there was one about the march of time and the death of the aristocratic order. Eric von Strohiemer gives a beautiful performance as the iconic German kommadant. 10/10
Sita Sings the Blues - "Produced by You." A real heroic jab at the system, juxtaposing rag-time jazz and Hindu epics, sketchy hand-drawn animation and South Park-like cut-outs, clever improvisational commentary (with Indian accents!), epic love stories, autobiography and musical numbers. What more is there to ask for? One of the most inventive films in years, animation or non-animation. For free on the internet. "That's all." 9.5/10
