City of God (2002)-9.5/10
I hadn't seen this before, but wow was this a great movie. Its about a young kid, Rocket, in the slums of Rio de Janerio, Brazil. He wants to be a photographer, and it shows how he gets there. Its based on a true story.
If you have not seen it, its a MUST SEE. And do not get it in English, make sure its in Portugese and has subtitles, it makes the movie flow better and overall more realistic.
Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince - I liked it.

I Love You Man - 8.10 - I liked it, good story and all. Worth the watch.
Funny People - 9/10 - I really liked this, more serious tone considering the cast. But really like it, go watch it.
The Hangover - Bought it, of course seen it in theaters, but it's hilarious. Buy it.
Bruno - 7.9/10 - Not an 8, but I thought it was pretty **** funny a lot. Other times it wasn't as funny, pretty gross scenes, but if you like that type of humor...you'll really like it.
The Strangers - 6.5/10 - This movie had a lot of potential, but didn't deliver. It played on suspense the whole movie, but really never lead to anything - lacking of bloodshed. Just bored me, but had a few "jumpy" moments.
Should be watching the "Orphan" tonight, rented a lot of movies this week and bought a few due to lack of cable. Paranormal Activity is supposed to come out next week(29th I believe) I think, will be waiting for that.
you liked I Love You Man? I hated it, thought it was complete garbage.
But The Hangover is excellent, 10/10. Awesome all the way thru.
Funny People I really liked as well, I agree with your synopsis. It was serious at times, yet still very funny. 8.5/10
I hated Bruno too, Borat was 100x better. Bruno was so forced, he tried too hard. The character wasnt that funny, neither was a lot of the jokes.
Sherlock Holmes - Excellant movie . I really liked Guy Ritchies take on an old classic . The fight scenes were filmed just like the ones in Snatch . Robert Downey played a down and dirty , as well as , hilariously sarcastic version of Holmes . Jude Law played Dr. Watson superbly as well . Do yourself a favor and see this one .
Life is a grindstone . Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up , depends on what we are made of .
District 9 - Well, it's different... I want to see more, but wow. Wasn't great, wasn't horrible. It is, what it is
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 - It was a HUGE let down. They really dropped the bomb on this one. The 1st was so good and actually watchable. This one, well, it was just so stupid and dumbed down.
