Did you actually see every movie listed?

I actually heard Burn After Reading was terrible but the source wasn't the best film buff in the world.

As for Beverly Hills Chihuahua, I have say LOL. The fact that the movie was every #1 in the country is so disappointing. To make matters worse, I think it was #1 for two weeks but I really don't remember.

Burn After Reading was ok..I guess..

[JackTheRipper]

For a movie about basically nothing, Burn After Reading was ok.

[Keeper]

My list right now... though it won't be finalized until we get to Oscar season.

The Dark Knight
Let The Right One In
Milk
Slumdog Millionaire
Synedoche, New York
W.

I think The Wrestler is going to me my favorite movie though, looks so damn good.

I saw all of the best and some of the worst ones. I did read the scripts of all of them though.

Burn After Reading is up there cause the acting was superb, the directing was.. just any Coen brothers' films great and it was a fun dark comedy.

and Keeper I agree The Wrestler may jump into #2 or #3 once I see it. I saw the trailer (again) last night when I saw Milk and I just wait to see that film.

Any Saw since the first one have been abysmal...

[Loki]

Have you seen or heard anything about Shrink? It's expected to come out in 09 and will be at Sundance. The plot sounds interesting and Kevin Spacey's the lead role I believe so I'm interested to see how that turns out. Robin Williams is apparently in the movie as well, some comedic relief I assume.

At this point, you have to be trying to say the worst thing possible because there's no way that someone can just be this awful at life.

Saw V was garbage, I saw it on Halloween with some girl and it was dumb.
