I really can't give this one any less. This is an amazing noir film, and relatively clean. One supporting character gets shot and the protagonist gets a couple fists in the face; but Brandan has nothing on John McClane! There are about 4 profanities. It's the drug content that makes the rating... it's bought sold, smoked, abused, trafficked and killed for. I'd recommend this film to any mature 14 year old. Soooooo good! Deserves every star I give it!
Once *****
The little indie musical that could. In addition to the wonderful music, it's the surprise ending that does it for me. Let's see that in a big budget Hollywood film, I think not! I won't give away anymore. The downside is that it takes place in Ireland..... where they use the f word as liberally as valley girls use "like." It gains an R rating for it. There is absolutely not negative content other then that. 13 and up, or whatever age you believe can handle that kind of language without trying to replicate it.
Memento ****
Very dark, very brutal, very raw and according to doctors: a very accurate portrayal of anterograde amnesia. This is Christopher Nolen's (The Dark Knight) second film, and what a film it is, intense violence, hard language and scary images keep this one away from five stars; but it is darn good! 16 and up.
Bolt ****1/2
Indiana Jones 3 ****
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium ***
The Spiderwick Chronicles ***1/2
The Grinch ****
Hancock (Unrated) ****
Full reviews coming later.... if I'm in the mood. :P

Listen dude, Mr. Magorium deserves a 4 star. The only reason the 5 is lost is because of that incredibly stupid ending. The rest is AMAZING. But yeah, Brick was awesome, although I remembered more obscenities (I could be wrong), and Once was amazing. Love both of those. I do need to see Memento. I want to hear about Bolt. It intrigues me. Also, Indiana Jones 3 is definitely a 5er, dude. Sean Connery?! Astoundingly funny.
