I watched two movies recently, and both were awesome.
Monsterhouse: a few years old now, a kids animated movie that wasn't a kids movie, and wasn't really animated, but motion-captured. This movie is kinda messed up, in a good way, really reminds you how being 12 years old, with the world against you feels. It sounds stupid, but I remember being 12, always confused, insecure, and with an odd feeling that everyone older than me was either out to get me, or didn't understand me. It's a I imaginative plot well acted and better written.
Killing Them Softly: this movie left me saying 'wow, that was a great movie!' It's a gangster movie, set as social commentary, headlined by phenomenal dialogue and perfect casting. Brad Pitt, James Gandlefini, Ray Liotta are the big names, but all the guys on screen more than pulled their own weight. Also, while it is a little slow for action, when the action comes...man do you feel it. So beautifully shot it made me a little mad users only gave it a 46% or something on rotten tomatoes.
