Bridesmaids (2011)
The girls all have comic chops, but their ad lib skills are not quite honed. Some scenes are funny but a little forced. Might be the first time I have seen girls use so much toilet humor. Nice little story.

Predators (2010)
They’re really milking this franchise. Is it really still making money? Brody has a bassy, amplified Christian Bale-as-Batman voice. Did he really need this role? I feel like he’s got a bit more class than this.

Sniper 2 (2002)
Not much to the story or characters or dialogue. Never really liked Berenger, and Woodbine’s pretty lame.

The Social Network (2010)
An interesting choice for Fincher. Well-made. The rise of Facebook is cleanly presented for older people who might not understand the phenomenon. Eisenberg helps make an interesting character believable. Loved the ending. Is Zuckerberg really that melancholic in real life?

Horrible Bosses (2011)
Bateman’s a genius, and Spacey gives it weight, but the script is not that wonderful.

Bobby Fischer Against the World (2011)
Kind of interesting. Times have changed. Today’s obsessions with fame-seeking and social networking and terrorist-finding make it hard to believe that someone so famous could live so secretly for so long.

Pollock (2000)
Harris is pretty good, but like Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, it’s not much fun watching an asshole treat people like crap and then die. It may be a biography, but that doesn’t mean it’s a story worth telling.
