Vincere (Marco Bellocchio, 2009)
A tedious, insufferable slog. You couldn't drag me to this one. It's been a long time since Fists in the Pocket.
Grade: D+
Chloe (Atom Egoyan, 2009)
Ugh, what happened to the guy who made Family Viewing, Exotica, and The Sweet Hereafter? This is better than Ararat, but that's not saying much.
Grade: C-
A Nightmare on Elm Street (Samuel Bayer, 2010)
Really nice update of the best 80s horror franchise, with nice direction from music video alum Bayer.
Grade: B+
Iron Man 2 (Jon Favreau, 2010)
It has its moments, but it's a little too in love with itself or something.
Grade: C+
