Meet Bill - Not too bad, actually a bit more enjoyable than I expected. Amusing bits here & there, but never laugh out loud funny though. Good central turn by Eckhart, but they probably could have done more with the supporting actors. To my own surprise, Jessica Alba wasn't completely shit for once. Still, she has very little screen presence/charisma.

The Tracey Fragments - Everything an arthouse movie (repeated scenes, multiple split screens, flash forwards/backs, ...) shouldn't be: self indulgent & completely scattered narrative. Ellen Page is a very fine actress though, seeing that she even managed to shine through the piece of crap that this movie was.

There Will Be Blood - I was a bit skeptical before watching this movie, since I recently read some articles proclaiming this to be the best movie of the past decade. It is (very) good, but certainly not consistently brilliant or perfect. Highlights for me were the acting (especially Lewis & Dano) & the photography.

Strangers on a Train - Excellent first hour, last half hour was somewhat of a let down for me. Some bits & pieces obviously haven't aged well, but time does fly when you're watching it.

Men Who Stare at Goats: Excellent, extremely funny.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: I thought it was a bit slow but overall really good.
