Valkyrie
Interesting movie, but not a must see unless you're already interested in the events it depicts. It stars Tom Cruise as a German officer who leads one of many failed assassination attempt on Hitler. Fairly straightforward thriller, but like the Titanic, you know it can't end well.
Gran Torino
Clint Eastwood being Clint Eastwood, but old. Clint takes a Hmong kid under his wing and must deal with the local gang. Hilarious in his blatant racism. I learned many derogatory terms for Asians and how to be badass, such as pointing your finger like a gun at someone. I found the ending to be very satisfying. The title refers to Clint's car, a Gran Torino that the kid tries to steal.
The Wrestler
98% on Rotten Tomatoes. If that isn't enough to get you interested, then you might as well not watch it. That said, it was a good movie, with a strong performance by Mickey Rourke that makes you really care for the main character. The movie is a character study of a pro wrestler who is long past his prime and has alienated his friends and family, but must continue to abuse his body to make ends meet. Takes a harsh look at the realities (if the movie is an accurate portrayal) of pro wrestling and the dedication it takes to entertain a crowd. Did I mention that Marisa Tomei is topless in the movie? I didn't? Hmm, that seems like an important piece of information.

Thanks for ruining the meaning of "Gran Torino" for me you jerk.
There's also a twist. Clint Eastwood turns out to be an alien who learns the meaning of being human.
actually, there's an even larger twist. the alien turns out to be a robot who learns the meaning of being an alien who learns the meaning of being a human.
i think the biggest twist is when YOU GUYS WATCHED TWILIGHT. ORLY??? i can't believe this happened.
what the eff? i haven't watched twilight. i think you've mistaken me for some twelve year old girl... or alvin.
