Juno (2007)
Heartfelt, mostly genuine, and very funny. It's deserved most of the hype it's gotten, and Ellen Page and Michael Cerra do a fantastic job. Entertaining? Yep. Best Picture worthy? Hell no.
Atonement (2007)
This is the second time I've seen this, and I believe now more than ever that it's slightly better than 'No Country'. It's such an intensely involving story, and feels so much like something belonging to a much higher level of cinema. And the fact that Joe Wright didn't get nominated for Best Director (take a look at that six-minute, $15 million dolly shot) and Knightley and McAvoy were jipped is a damn shame.
Rambo (2008)
It really was not very good, aside from the last twenty minutes or so. It was bloody, violent, and gritty, but most of that comes from Burma soldiers to women and children, and that isn't what I payed to see. The climax was done in true Rambo form, but everything else was sorely lacking.
