It's been a long summer, but I'm going to get back into the swing of things after a long hiatus.
I have new updated Oscar predicitions on the bar to the right, including changes reflecting the move to 10 Best Picture nominees. I'll have some updated articles as well, including my review of The Hurt Locker, Up and my thoughts on the current Oscar race.
Stay tuned in the next few days.

The Hurt Locker (A- 2nd Viewing)
The best Iraq War film yet. Great performances, tense action and almost pitch-perfect direction.
Up (A-)
Had me blubbering like a little girl. Not as rewatchable as previous Pixar efforts, but still moving. A perfect example of great voice acting.
Inglourious Basterds (B+)
A little long-winded, but a blast to watch. Christoph Waltz steals the show, while Tarantino again fails to dissappoint.
(500) Days of Summer (B+)
Two great performances by the leads and a great date movie. A romantic comedy that strives for originality over box-office allure.
G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra (D-)
One God-awful steaming pile of crap. Good thing Sienna Miller was there or I would have gouged out my eyes.
Basic Instinct (B-/C+)
Yeah, Sharon Stone was hot, but my God...talk about the most dated movie of the past 20 years. Just look at that awful club scene. Unitentional comedy at it's best.
