After waiting a year (almost) for the movies of 2000-2009 to fully sink in, we’re finally prepared to unleash our best of the decade list. Hold on to your butts.
20. Memento – The infamous “backwards movie” that really launched Christopher Nolan’s career (The Dark Knight, The Prestige, Inception). Nolan packs enough action [...]
In many ways, life in China is almost incomprehensible to the average American. Lixin Fan’s documentary, Last Train Home, gives us a glimpse, a sometimes disturbing one, of life in China through the lens of one family of migrant workers.
TV Casualties Rating: out of 5
Run Time: 86 minutes [...]
Part serial killer thriller, part good teens gone bad, Australian indie “Acolytes” is the kind of horror movie they should be making more of. I’m pretty hard to please when it comes to this genre, and I was pleasantly surprised by this one.
“70% chance of rain? Yeah, right. It's absolutely GORGEOUS out here!”

Here’s a recipe for braised bullshit movie: one 12 oz. can of David Fincher’s “Se7en” (Up), one leg of “Silence of the Lambs“, and two squirts of pure Quaid sweat. (This recipe calls for Dennis. Randy is an acquired taste. Little gamey.)

This weekend’s theatrical releases ranked in the order I’d like to see them from most to least:
Year One

Under Our Skin
[...]
Michael Moore has a new, as yet untitled, documentary about what caused the economic collapse – what Moore calls “the biggest robbery in the history of this country” – as well as the subsequent federal bailout. The film is due out October 2, 2009.
The trailer played in a few theaters this weekend, and [...]
Our objective at TV Casualties is actually pretty simple – it’s our duty to uncover the gems, what the British would call the “best bits.” This becomes especially crucial when dealing with TV series or movies that have been overlooked. The following movies will throttle you. Hard. (We actually suggest you sit as you watch [...]
Not a big week for new movies. Here they are, though, ranked in order of how much I’d like to see them (from most to least):
Moon
A thriller in space starring Sam Rockwell. The basic premise, a guy stationed alone in space for 3 years, reminded me a ton of the George R.R. [...]
Add yet another movie to the long list of recent feature films inexplicably reduced to straight to DVD affairs. J.T. Petty’s “The Burrowers” really saw no theatrical release outside of playing at a handful of film festivals last fall.
Shotgun stories.
The movie combines an old West adventure with horror, drawing pretty equally from [...]
