Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) 8/10 - Good, inventive fun. Way too hectic though. Far too complicated to be so hectic.

Collateral (2004) 9/10 - Really, very good. It starts off perfect, though I feel the quality slowly deteriorates. Still great, though. Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise both do great jobs. 

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) 9.5/10 - Well deserving of the praise it has received. The girl's great, as are all the others. Just a very well made film, through and through. 

Brick (2005) 8.5/10 - Took me a bit to understand what they were going for. Before then it was just weird. It's actually a really cool concept, hardboiled high school "detective." Very well done. I just almost wonder if it took itself too seriously.

Dredd (2012) 8/10 - A lot better than I could have expected. It's well done, it's exciting, it's entertaining. But it's not thought provoking. It really does kind of become a video game. And it's fun to watch, but I feel there was a real chance to make a statement or a satire with the set up, but it just never happened. Would be willing to see a sequel, though.

Primer (2004) 8/10 - Very interesting, very original, and quiet thrilling. The third act completely falls apart though; and while I think that was the point, it just didn't work for me. Up until then, I was really into it, then it kind of just said, "stop enjoying this" and totally left me out.
