Possum Holler

Most of you know that I've had a lot going on lately. But here are some quick-hits on movies I've seen over the last couple of months.

Superbad
Director: Greg Mottola
Grade: A-

Good-hearted, gross-out comedy.

Knocked Up
Director: Judd Apatow
Grade: A-

Almost the same movie as Superbad, only 10 years later.

American Gangster
Director: Ridley Scott
Grade: B-

Reasonably entertaining, painfully by-the-book.

Beowulf (in 3-D)
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Grade: C+

Probably loses points if not seen in 3-D. Judging from the previews, it appears that we will be seeing more of these Digital 3-D movies popping up soon.

The Darjeeling Limited
Director: Wes Anderson
Grade: B+

I'm looking forward to seeing this one again on DVD. I think I need to re-watch it to really comment fully, but I think it may be Anderson's deepest film since Rushmore.


I started to watch both Brooklyn Rules and I'm Reed Fish recently, but turned them off after 20 minutes. Take that as you will.
