Blindness (2008)
 The mysterious "White Blindness (Everyone sees white & white...kinda Darkness of White!)" from nowhere or without any explanation caused a serious epidemic to the mankind. They needed more work on the story development part and then it could have been a great movie. >>: B- Slumdog Millionaire (2008)  Synopsis: Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on Indiašs "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life and each chapter of Jamalšs increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? So..."How was Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire?" A. Amazing/Excellent B. Beautiful/Good C. Common/Average D. Disappointing and my answer is...B+

First movie of the year, since it's been under discussion here'n there, and I had a friend over that hadn't yet seen it - Wall-E
Not a bad way to ring in the NY.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
I'm not fond of romantic movies but just gave it a watch for Javier Bardem & Penelope Cruz and they were as usually brilliant. >>: B

Red 9/10
Brian Cox is awesome. I really liked how human this revenge tale was...I actually felt like it could happen as opposed to a lot of revenge flicks. Revenge flicks are always fun to watch, but usually they involve the main character sacrificing themselves for the cause or laughing in the face of the law to show how serious they are. I really liked how he really tried his hardest to just do the right thing the whole movie. The monologue about his family was also pretty heart-wrenching because of Cox's amazing delivery. Can't recommend it enough!

Tokyo Gore Police.
I've been waiting ages to see this and wow, it makes Machine Girl look like the Care Bears. If you enjoyed Brain Dead then you'll love this.
