Doubt

Doubt has the best cast of any movie released this year. I figure if Ledger didn't win, Hoffman would have won the Oscar. I think from the climax to the resolution, there could have been more of a fight between Flynn and Beauvier. This was the area that I thought was weak. All of a sudden the movie is practically over. You basically can watch the trailer and see what happens. The acting was excellent.

+ Streep, Adams, Davis, Hoffman, acting

- Story climax, I'm Catholic

The Fall

The Fall is one of the most beautiful films you'll ever see. It was filmed in almost 20 countries. I like Tarsem and enjoyed The Cell because of the eccentric flow. The Fall isn't necessarily as engrossing as The Cell was, at least for me. However, the story telling and visuals should keep you occupied.

+ Cinematography, art direction, visuals

- Story not as exciting as could be, but fits

Push

Ah yes, PUSH!  What an excellent title!  I don't know who allows these to be made?  I just can't decide who I'd rather be; a sniffer or a stitcher.  I wish I didn't waste my time with this one and I'm sure Dakota feels the same way.

+ Cinematography, screaming asians

-  Plot holes, story, acting, screaming asians

Leon

Just watched Leon, not too bad.  I love Natalie Portman so of course I'll like it.  Not as much action, etc, but its not made for that.  Just make sure you watch it all the way through.
