The Lincoln Lawyer - Waaaaaaaaaait, Matthew McConaughey can actually star in a good movie? Wow, what a revelation.
The Way Back - A movie I can't stop recommending. Saorise Ronan still makes me jealous.
Rabbit Hole - The poster is freaking beautiful. So was the movie. Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart were brilliant.
Conviction - Not as bad as people made it out to be, but yeah, it was weak. Juliette Lewis was great in her small role, though!
Sucker Punch - I can't believe that this movie was my most anticipated of 2011 once. It was so awful!
Red Riding Hood - Amanda Seyfried was pretty, but that was all.
Secretariat - I like horse movies. And the horse didn't die at the end of this movie, which was even better.
The Romantics - Ummmm...the ending of this movie really pissed me off. I still love Anna Paquin, even though her American accent always sounds like the accent she uses in True Blood.
Love and Other Impossible Pursuits - Natalie Portman is awesomeness. This movie was kinda bland, though, but I liked it enough.
Perrier's Bounty - Cillian Murphy being badass. Well, kinda. Irish comedies are still the shit, though.
Strange Days - Ralph Fiennes being badass. And sex on legs. Wholey crap this movie was awesome. Kathryn Bigelow is my idol.
Brighton Rock - I watched this while on the lookout for snow. Needless to say, I think I may have missed the point because I was so excited about snow. Mind you, it was a bit of a mess.
It's Kind of a Funny Story - This was pretty alright. If only Emma Roberts would get some better roles...because she was kinda good as a depressive teenager.
Paul - Now this movie was funny. Apart from Seth Rogen. Even as an alien, he annoys me.
Biutiful - I can't believe that I liked this movie. It was bloody depressing (for some reason, I have this recurring image of Javier Bardem all frail and wearing an adult nappy and it just makes me want to cry), but it was good.
Quiz Show - Probably the best movie I watched all month. No, that's not because Ralph Fiennes was flawless and so sexy I just about died.
Heartbreaker - I don't care what y'all say, this movie is awesome. I had a good laugh...which is something that movies rarely achieve with me.
Breaking the Waves - Ahead of watching Melancholia at the NZFF, I decided that I probably should watch a Lars von Trier movie. This one was pretty good, but it was as depressing as hell. It was also the last R16 I saw while not being 16.
In Bruges - "You're a fucking inanimate object!" Hilarious.
Battle: Los Angeles - While it looked good on my new Blu-Ray machine, I am unfortunately not a teenage boy so I did not understand all of the explosions.
Taxi Driver - I love 70's movies. This one was absolutely fantastic.
Crazy, Stupid, Love. - I want a Ryan Gosling. It's like he's photoshopped.
The Tree of Life - Tree's have become so much more appealing to me.
Carlos the Jackal - The movie version, not the TV show. I don't know why, but Saturday is suddenly foreign movie night.
A Clockwork Orange - My first Stanley Kubrick movie. I get why y'all love him. This movie was seriously good. Apart from my mother insisting on walking into my room everytime the movie got a bit R18.
Solomon Kane - My brother and mother wanted me to watch this. It was exactly what I thought it would be...average.
Just Go with It - Whhhhhhhhyyyyyyy does everything have to be so cliched these days?!
Eagle vs. Shark - A Kiwi film for something that you will see on the net sometime at the end of the week. Yes, you should be excited.
Movies that I have already seen but watched again because I'm cool like that...

(500) Days of Summer |
Limitless - There was a special at work and I felt like rewatching this movie. I don't know why I like the movie so much...it's like, I can see the flaws, but I just really enjoy it.
Sunset Blvd. - I love movies about Hollywood. This one is probably the best...even though Gloria Swanson freaks me out a lot.
(500) Days of Summer - The awkward moment when you can turn (500) Days of Summer into a musical because you know all of the words to the songs in the soundtrack.
How about you, have you seen anything good in August?
