After I see a movie, I rate and review it on my Netflix account, and through the beauty of Facebook Connect, this information is magically displayed on my Facebook Wall. The reviews are short, mostly uninformative, and sometimes unintelligible, yet they are entirely likely to inspire you.
Here’s a recap of my most recent viewings:
4 out of 5 stars
An enormously complex and emotional movie. Joaquin Phoenix is as good at acting as he is bad at rapping.

So incredibly bad that about halfway through the movie I just went to Wikipedia and read the full plot details.

Incredibly entertaining and great special effects. However, this movie takes itself WAY too seriously — does every scene really have to play like its the final scene of The Usual Suspects?

Much better than I expected; really good performances, especially Brolin.
