BIG, starring Tom Hanks- 9.5/10!!!! Amazing movie!!
The Man Who Cried - 8/10 (because anything with Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci can't possibly be ranked lower than that).
Clearly a 10/10 for Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
The man from nowhere- 8.5/10
Story was basic and the dialogue didn't transfer well, but film really shined with cinematography, light, music and especially the acting. Bin Won did a great job of potraying his character and setting the entire mood for the film. I'm usually not too bothered from violence at all, but this movie really grabs into your gut with the realities of organ trafficking. It has some disturbing moments that involve children that hit me pretty hard.
Cinematography and lighting followed the film mood very well and the score really made the fight scenes exciting. The scenes were not martial arts heavy at all and focused more on traditional run and gun with some knife fighting thrown in. It reminded me a lot of an older R-rated Luc Besson flick or something along the lines of man on fire.

I just saw The Vow. This was an exercise in bad, commercial filmmaking with little to redeem it other than how insanely beautiful Rachel McAdams is.
As always, a longer polemic is available here.

My Week With Marilyn : Really lovely film. Highly recommended. 
The Darkest Hour : Whoever greenlit this shit should be publicly flogged.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows : Couldn't stand the first one. Same with this.
Tintin : Expected something mediocre. Was wowed! Liked it so much, I went back to see the 3D screening of it.

7/10. Not a huge fan of b&w's unless there from the Golden Age. Intense, in your face, mind number. In the end Pi won me over.
The Help
9/10
My God. Perfect casting, outstanding direction and a great screenplay. Masterfully done.

Ten Inch Hero — 9.5/10
Fantastic film, one I'd never heard of until a few days ago when I found out it was written by someone on another screenwriting site I frequent, and decided to check it out (it's streaming on Netflix). It is really fantastic. One of the better films I've seen recently.

Bizarre, but I liked it. 7/10.

In the theater: Hugo- 9/10: 3D distracts me, but the story is really beautiful. It's like a distillation of Scorsese's 4 hour documentary about how much movies mean to him.
At home: OSS 117: Cairo, A Nest of Spies- 7/10: It's goofy and it's been done before, but not this well. Jean Dujardin is so goddamn lovable and makes this movie as fun as it is.

Immortals. 5/10. It was pretty but it brings nothing interesting to the table.
