Movie Grades - 2Q 2007
A
Schindler's List - Slightly underperformed my expectations, but looking back, my expectations were way too high. Liam Neison's performance was one of the best in any movie I've ever seen.
A-
Das Leben der Anderen - Great movie, but not worthy of IMDB top 100.
Knocked Up - The most complete and flawless acting in a comedy I've ever seen. Instant classic.
Once - This is a must-see if you're not an emotionless-robot.
B+
Alpha Dog - Powerful movie based on a true story. Timberlake is surprisingly a great actor. See this movie if street-crime/gang premises interest you.
B
Mr. Brooks - Farfetched, but did a good job keeping your interest.
B-
Ocean's Thirteen - Sloppy, but still entertaining.
Little Children - Tried to be like American Beauty but was ultimately unengaging, and, quite frankly, disturbing.
C+
Glengarry Glen Ross - Melodrama anyone?
C
Fracture - Color-by-number twist-ending drama. I'd give it an A if I was still 12 and easy to fool. Hopkins was classic though.
D+
Hostel Part II - The first one was believable, and terrifying. This one is just unbelievable.
D
Superfly - Terrible movie, but some novelty value for laughing at the logic of misguided Harlem drug dealers from the 70s. "A million dollars...CASH!!"
F
Fast Food Nation - A shameful attempt at discrediting the meat industry. I wanted to go to Whataburger after seeing this abomination.

Kim,
I wasn't grading new movies, rather the ones I watched in the past quarter. As for The Lives of Others, you might like it if you're at all political.
