A Serious Man – Perhaps the best criteria in which to judge a great film is the extent to which it “stays with you,” or you keep thinking about it, or never forget about it. I’m still thinking about this movie.
District 9 – The best of the many “Nine/9″ films this year. Low budget movies are often innovative, and this one is no exception.

Inglourious Bastards – Acting, storytelling, humor, revenge, and thoughtful insights.
