Revolver - 8/10
TL;DR The Matrix sans special effects and without all those pesky explanations
First half was one of the best action movies I've seen. Riveting without resorting to cheap tricks, stale formulas or shocking foulness. Interesting characters, solid dialog, bit of mystery and action. Good acting, cinematography, etc. A full five points for the first half.
Second half was a disturbing mind fuck. The sort of movie that tries to make you doubt your sanity or at least your world-view. Alice down the rabbit hole. I actually like that sometimes but I prefer to know it's coming. Also, while still decent this portion of the film was not as well executed. Serious props to Mark Strong as Sorter though, made me wish the whole thing was about him sometimes. On the whole, just a three out of five for the second half.
Then again I won't forget it.

The King's Speech - 10/10
Excellent movie. It's a period piece and a serious character drama which is usually not my favorite especially late at night. But it was so well done that I was spellbound in spite of the hour. It is very rare for acting to be so well done that I either find myself feeling I know those people or else wishing I did. And the story was handled just right too.

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog - 10/10
I almost took a point off because it is, after all, a musical. I usually can't even stand to finish musicals. But it was just too good to do that. I highly recommend it to anyone who is not bothered by a small amount of crude language.
