Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (2007)

The sound system wasn't the best. The eyes of the creatures seem a bit dead. Narration's simple. Otherwise, was an okay intro into the creatures of the deep in prehistoric times.

Let The Right One In (2008)

Don't like it. Characters and story did not engage me. The treatment and execution left me cold. 

The Wrestler (2008)

very nice.

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

Not bad. Danny Boyle proves that he's one of the most versatile and talented directors working today. The leads give this film its compelling emotional core. This may not be an instant classic. But it's done right for the most parts.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

For the first part, I was really bored. For the later half, I began to enjoy the romance angle. Not a film I'd recommend, because it's really long and I did not enjoy it that much overall. But the makeup is impressive.

Changeling (2008)

Misdirection in casting. A script that lacks focus. Somewhat not-so-strong direction. And unspectacular performances. IMHO, one of Clint Eastwood's weaker films. Pity, considering the historical context that this film based itself on comes across as being filled with lots of dramatic potential.
