Role Models (2008)
Rudd’s got improv talent. Dare I say he’s the most natural comic actor of the last decade?

Notorious (2009)
Woolard’s a very natural actor and portrays Wallace in a very real, very tender way. Even his musical performances are brilliant. The film, I think, attempts to portray Wallace objectively and without pulling any punches. Unfortunately, it’s hard to root for a guy who proves to have questionable morals.

Right America: Feeling Wronged – Some Voices from the Campaign Trail (2009)
Obviously an angled perspective, but a revealing look at some of the morons who have the right to vote in this country nonetheless. So why hasn’t there been an articulate, pointed documentary in support of McCain?

Involuntary (2008)
Wow, these are actors? Really wonderful performances have been coaxed out of these people. Feels a lot like voyeurism, but I guess it really isn’t.

Brynner’s also pretty good, though his coloring and accent distinguish him from the rest of the Egyptians. A little…

Temple Grandin (2010)
She was an interesting person, and the movie really shows you how an autistic person feels. The most fascinating thing was Grandin’s autistic self-awareness at the end. I would have liked to see more of that. Danes pulls off a pretty good performance. It’s almost laughable at first, but her…

Lions for Lambs (2007)
Some interesting exchanges and lots of smart dialogue. Perhaps too smart. Conversations this witty and snappy are unrealistic. Around this time, contemplative interconnected stories (like Traffic and Magnolia) were trendy, but this one’s all over the place. The connections between the component stories are thin. Good cast and performances by…

I Love You, Man (2009)
Surprisingly funny. Natural performances from a great and talented cast, with what seems to be some great ad libbing.
