179 - Green Zone

Ridley Scott just doesn't get enough credit....ever since he did Black Hawk Down everyone's tried to do some variation or form to get the same magic. Sadly, I think this whole thing has already become too saturated and I just couldn't enjoy it as much anymore. I think casting was off with Greg Kinnear. Anyway, it was nice to see Amy Ryan and Mad Eye Moody....er....I mean....Brendan Gleeson :).

178 - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

This film shows so much about life that it's sad to watch. I would say this is a rather interesting choice for David Fincher...perhaps one of his most wholesome? Anyway, it was an opportunity I couldn't miss....with Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett...I'd be a lunatic to miss it :).

177 - Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye

It is simply inspiring to look at Henri Bresson's photos in this documentary. He shrugs off his genius with simplicity, luck, and persistence, but there is so much more to appreciate in his work.

176 - The Fantastic Mr. Fox

It's classic Wes Anderson and you feel it the minute it starts and you hear the xylophone. George Clooney and Meryl Streep are supported by Anderson's regular crew, with amusing performances by Willem Dafoe and Bill Murray.
