4 Films That Mostly Not Suck

Last time I outlined a new ratings system. Lets see it in action.

V for Vendetta
"Rent"
 A mad vigilantly libertarian terrorizes "the man" in the not so distant British future. Pretty good except for the captivity of Natalie Portman. That bit manages to destroy any sympathetic notions we might have for the cause.

Don't Come Knocking
"Rent"
 Just ignore the acting (and some of the writing). Instead focus on the beauty and majesty of Butte.

Brick
"Matinee"
 A high-school movie sans clumsy teen humor meets a murder mystery; but it's not that mysterious. Bizarre in a delightfully stylish way. The dialog is purposely hard to follow. Try to keep up. There is nothing about the cinematography that demands in theater viewing but the film is original enough to be worth the expense and hassle.

Thank You For Smoking
"Pay Full Price"
 The twisted humorization of the world of the tobacco lobbyist. A rare funny film. The main character has a weak arc, but hey its funny. Its got a good message as well. Again, it doesn't demand in theater viewing but Its worth the $7-$10.
