I haven't seen all of them, but your reviews are almost identical with my feelings except in two cases-- A Scanner Darkly, which I didn't think was great, but wasn't bad either... and The Departed, which was OK, but WAY too long with WAY too much Jack Nicholson channeling The Joker...

(MI3? Puh-LEEZE!) My review of your reviews. Babel? If I'm going to pay $10 for a ticket and another $10 for 75 cents worth of popcorn and soda, the damned movie <em>better</em> be three hours. Borat? I'd sniff at it take the high road like you did, except I was too busy ROFL and at times almost PMP. Cars? You actually went to see that? Huh. Casino Royale? Am I the only person who missed this on the big screen? Clerks II? Did Leonardo make a Mona Lisa II? I gave it a pass. Departed? Jack: Go take a workshop with Johnny Depp and get yourself another character. Matt: Never thought I'd see the day when Leonardo Decaprio would act the pants off of you. Devil Wears Prada? This review would be dead on except Meryl Street somehow makes it work. (Where is A Prairie Home Companion on this list, by the way?) Illusionist? Yeah, you got it about right. An Inconvenient Truth? A rapturous sermon for the choir. Little Miss Sunshine? Documentaries about my family always make me squirm. Lucky Number Slevin? I know I saw it. Why can't I remember anything except the weird, pseudo-70s set decor? Marie Antoinette? Kirsten Dunst is hot. Pirates II? Yarrgh. The Queen? Adored it. A Scanner Darkly? Alex, you're just plain wrong about this one. Superman Returns? Good call to set it in the milleu of the original Superman flicks. But man, what was with the plot, or more specifically, the lack thereof? Lex Luthor's making a new continent! EVERYBODY PANIC! V is for Vendetta? B is for Blah. You get what you deserve when you go see some of these films. (MI3? Puh-LEEZE!) My review of your reviews.
