My fall-winter movie ranking

Yes, it is raining, we can go to the movies

Rachel Getting Married. Brilliant. I know some people had problems with the long drawn out scenes such as the dish washer scene, but I loved it all.

Doubt. Not only a movie that makes you think, but engaging, as well.

Gran Torino. Dirty Harry now retired.

Role Models. Just so wrong, just so funny.

Revolutionary Road. Depressing to the core and brilliant for it.

The Wrestler. Emotional connections.

Slumdog Millionaire. I see it as over-rated, but still a good film.

Yes Man. A love story to eastside Los Angeles.

Well, it is raining, so let’s go to the movies

Quantum of Solace. James Bond on adrenaline.

Eagle Eye. You’re always watched.

Let the Right One In. A very ambiguous movie. A movie that vampire fans should see.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Perhaps I saw it on the right day, but I liked this prequel.

The Reader. Not so much a brilliant story, but a thought provoker.

Frost/Nixon. An interesting history lesson.

Taken. A good action flick for the winter months – if seen in the summer would get ranked lower.

Valkyrie. Another interesting history lesson. Tom Cruise is perhaps getting his mojo back.

This must be Seattle, where’s the sun

Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Bored to death. How did this get nominated for Best Picture?
