Ranking the movies I've seen in theaters this year so far:
1. The Dark Knight - **** - An absolute masterpiece.
2. WALL-E - ***1/2 - Another gem from Pixar, spectacular animation and a great storyline.
3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall - ***1/2 - The best Apatow production yet, utterly hilarious.
4. Iron Man - ***1/2 - Arguably the best comic book adaptation not directed by Christopher Nolan.
5. Pineapple Express - ***1/2 - James Franco is comedy gold in an absolutely wonderful performance. Probably my favorite performance of the year behind Ledger's Joker.
6. Cloverfield - *** - Proof that movies don't need excessive gore and blood and foul language to be terrifying.
7. The Incredible Hulk - *** - Miles above Hulk, Tim Roth is a delight.
8. Step Brothers - *** - Over the top, immature, childish, vulgar, yet hilarious.
9. The Bucket List - *** - Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are wonderful together.
10. Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - **1/2 - Better than the first and has some good things, but still feels like Lord of the Rings-lite.
11. Get Smart - **1/2 - Surprisingly entertaining, Steve Carrell is very funny.
12. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - ** - Second half of the movie is really not good, suffers from a terrible storyline and over-reliance on CGI.
13. Semi-Pro - *1/2 - The trailers are funny, the Bud Light and Old Spice commercials are funny, the "Love Me Sexy" song is funny, everything is funny but the movie.
14. 21 - *1/2 - Just mediocre in every way.
15. Strange Wilderness - * - Your classic Happy Madison stupid funny movie.
