Not really a stand-out year for movies. There's very little on this list that I think I'll be watching in twenty years.Burn After Reading![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5NzSDKuUFSPt0zfAP_zTUtLZ30sei0IXRVLsv00myBalO3F_rjjF0aVhYDLYI3PF3cQfRBh4_cAkObO9dEAXWwZChboof44krop4QOmk7x6HXkGWcmsiTc72-doTd2iypeRL8AQiLUR5I/s320/burnafterreadingstillshot.jpg)
Not one of the best Coen Brother's movies but I liked it.

I liked this movie a lot, even with the rickety horror-movie angles and theatrical acting. I thought about it for days afterward.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKENIksZI3jpMsNdkFBbdspocSfII-0mZYs4_70O466EVvWAd1YNA5fPUZlE93_5VkZbie5wvl8hA6FZ7unrpCf6Fjn_BolxJfV4aIoL1_PMXjPAV_PHEFKJcsQRvkOqj2Y5edYaJ-iUHB/s320/forgetting.jpg)
This is now on HBO constantly and I keep watching it. It's become a comfort film in a way - I like every character.
Ghost Town![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMXlkA38gC8dtaeUP3Ix40qdh99wXED-j3QdxoQYupNVyyNptt9dfmaUHKyFabwx5KVqBYkRa-Gjl7F9ZOZ6tyqK119B31sLR7S4efC6gRmHfA8UgkfGtu-bzdKJrr6q4lfoN9PNSoOXug/s320/ghosttown.jpg)
One of the best romantic comedies in years. A classic that no one saw.
In Bruges![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsL5B5kfNCzzSFZa48s6e7Fv0KJ8zb-MUpW18uXcdLTBe9Ii_h9hf2cbevAQiqA7UY9xZOq70mU1VZ6xQbcI3BTJXC1EMcPm1A_Xorl66uiWBmLft5GT8tfyi5Kv3S0wx9IVkR0wqiS0Sf/s320/in-bruges-movie-02.jpg)
Better on every viewing. Colin Farrell had the second-best performance of the year.
Let the Right One In![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwmp-4qDqYjSphPfiPHkpMGTOWIi5TIUCj_5W9M3w1-x9pdhoT9FdA0nv0ScGClxAuBixG60_WsYupTfOLJ6473wd52EjkB1ku7ALHCsyY28FW9bvAQnCa5-SuqTCiS7UG3_OAYMnWacBu/s320/lettherightoneinpic.jpg)
Winter. Sweden. Housing project. Child Vampires.
Quantum of Solace![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKeHUjUgFv6tjQT1i23e88AMVWjUEwo-xkZav1xoHuqI7Ae1iNyNNqWQWdtSG64fmZaaiUBLKtFOhdGNqIx196iZLhY-KAvHDw5QZP_8hleCh5uZIGzdn0sAAwJNMQci67XEBObugJe-UK/s320/quantum-of-solace.jpg)
I enjoyed this movie more than most but, thinking back, I hope the next Bond film has a little less angst in it.
Tell No One![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFtkm77HNk9mJc7pESDsO4UEOruu7QYwWuEACssQCjDoDI_l-cowBcwAtzUeQM4cnV4jAsY-vTca0ucomRrF7DKshyuO0qL_QjB8OD76mqnQASnH2xJ29wLNzeeLTcNSYrjd-jNVbguOO/s320/TellNoOne1.jpg)
For three-quarters of its running time this flirted with Hitchcock territory. Totally entertaining. Expect an American remake.
Wall-E![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBWIrwK80M-PIqGV1GhRu4RXPzPicCdoaNNhE2KMghbgt-6tSTQe4KdxBAjfknuAJSBky41l3xiujzbPvwMrHw1Wja8HC3fLe4xxtAzU3ZVhUyn2qd7UqLg0tA_sY7-1iDdcwemK9KBOE4/s320/wall_e_eve.jpg)
Another Pixar gem.
The Wrestler![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvcpNVQ1EcJLeBJ-8ge3G9-vdB9qIVwsIIyRbBFh11_O96XvZXIHYEUV6vf1juSU1-jpz1hSjSi7qr3w7Jm_csbvIUC9ARqflSbob_kfPK-nFuE7zdq9N_K-pQmSDda6Fjyxu9ZZnFujLA/s320/the-wrestler.jpg)
Mickey wuz robbed of his Oscar.
Okay, out of the films you listed, I saw Ghost Town and Wall-e. LOVED Ghost Town. Thought Wall-e was pretty good. I really haven't seen many movies lately.
