I went into Silver Linings with zero expectations and enjoyed it quite a bit. Hangover guy is entirely convincing as bipolar and while the hunger games girl comes off as forced pretty often, she has spectacular moments as well. I think a lot of it is because the things she's saying are really ridiculous and the camera is just held totally still, so when she's not totally nailing it it seems like she is just on a stage screaming because that's what's in the script. Where there's usually a lot of cuts and camera movement when Hangover guy is flipping his shit.
DeNiro could have been used better, him and his son spend so little time together that his character is entirely one-dimensional. Which I get is the point (he just really likes sports and is superstitious) it felt kind of flat. Worth watching with a lady.
edit: ha, i couldnt figure out who the jokester black friend was, apparently its chris tucker back from the dead

I only ever saw bits and pieces of the Alien franchise on cable so I downloaded and watched them in prep for Prometheus. I don't understand the love of the Alien universe in general and subsequently don't understand why Prometheus was so hyped. So with that stance Prometheus was an alright film. Definitely not top 10 worthy but I don't think it deserves the hate that this community seems to have for it.

I noticed your...interesting....list did not have a tenth. May I suggest Prometheus to really round out your choices?

It to me was the best comedy of the year and I enjoy comedy's a lot thus why it's up there so far. Movies don't need to be cinematic classics that make you think in order to be some of my favorites. Not all of us can be so hip to the indy scene as you Ham.

Ha, yeah I was posting on my phone and it wouldn't let me put it into a list for some stupid reason and I guess I left it on there twice. I redid it a bit to properly reflect what I was going for.

Yeah....well....screw you man, screw you.hey I liked it too, I wasn't knocking you for that...
You've seen zero dark thirty and the master, two that I haven't! So it seems like you've got fair access to 'indie' movies as well
