He doesn't bother me when he's just supporting like in Superbad and 40 Year Old Virgin, but he tends to really bother me when he's the main character.

i heard Mezza Streeps' acting in Doubt is ridiculously over-the-top. The trailer seems to confirm this. Just because it's set in a convent school seems to mean it's a weighty significant drama but I find the perpetual Streep-worship a bit much really. Make room for some new faces darling

It can be a bit over-the-top at times but overall it's a still great performance (she's not screaming at Philip Seymour Hoffman the entire movie), definetly not the best of the year though. And I agree that Streep being the godess of acting gets a little annoying.

I'm not gonna lie, my favorite movie of the year is Speed Racer. I usually hate kids movies and obscene amounts of CGI, so I have no business loving it as much as I do. But it took everything to cartoonishly exaggerated extremes that I totally broke down and reverted back to a 7 year old bouncing off the walls on a sugar high. I loved the show when I was younger, so it brought back a lot of nostalgia and stuff.

Curious Case of Benjaman Button

and, one that has yet to be mentioned:

Austraila. This movie didn't get all the praise it deserved.

And I really wanted to see: Doubt, The Dark Knight, Changeling, and MILK really badly.

1.) The Wrestler
2.)Mongol

3.) In Bruges
4.)Slumdog Millionaire
5.)Tropic Thunder

definitely agree with you here. Had a hard time not falling asleep.

The Curiosu case of Benjamin Button was awesome

I think Changeling didn't do too well with the critics but i really liked it, i was nearly welling up at some points.

This is pretty much a prefect list of all the movies I really wanted to see in the past year but didn't get a chance to.
