Woo, deja vu peeps.
Dinner For Schmucks - I agree with Prof, this was hit and miss. Probably more of a soft-hearted comedy than a dark comedy like the trailers pitched it.
Despicable Me - WOW. I had no idea what to expect with this film. But holy cow was this a cute film. And it had an amazing soundtrack. I think Despicable Me should qualify as this year's sleeper animated film. The trailers also pitched a different movie than what you get...which is always a mixed blessing.
Buried - Again, wow. This was a really really good film....the film has some obvious flaws that require you to suspend some disbelief. And of course, Tarantino already had some coffin fun in Kill Bill, Vol. 2. While buried was hit and miss with some parts of the story, the movie really excelled in three ways for me:
1) The movie created a deathly sense of claustrophobia. Not quite as claustrophobic as The Descent, but pretty close.
2) Ryan Reynolds did a good job acting. Maybe I am biased though since I have a man crush on him.
3) The ending. Saying any more will spoil it.
