Pride & Glory. With Edward Norton and Colin McFarrel.
I really liked it, I'll give it a 7.5/10. It's a story about a family of cops who find out there are dirty cops in their battalion.

The Usual Suspects - Been attempting to see this one for years but something always happens. Kept having to shield myself from "the twist." Not much of one it turns out. Just an unreliable narrator, so you can't really go back and rewatch to see things you didn't catch the first time suddenly fall into place. A shame. Still enjoyed it though.

Drawing a comic heavy on an Aztec aesthetic so in addition to viewing a number of documentaries, watched The Emperor's New Groove (Inca) and The Road to El Dorado (a mix of Pre-Columbian cultures). Saw bits of both before but believe this was the first time I saw them in their entirety. Both fun but think I liked TRoED more. Plus it has one of the sexiest animated females ever.

Despicable Me was pretty cute. "It's so fluffy!" Not much else to say.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 - I feel bad for the folks who haven't read the book. They don't explain the mirror at all. I didn't even remember what it was until after perusing IMDb's board. Was it touched upon in the 6th movie? They also left out the whole "Voldemort" being taboo thing. Seemed important. Anyway, the tone was nice and it had good pacing though not too much actually happens. Made up for with some nice character moments.

I don't think the mirror has been mentioned since the 5th movie.

The "Voldemort" taboo is mentioned in a deleted scene shown on the dvd/blu-ray. No idea why they would take that out.

I think at the end of the day, it was more of a plot point than anything. A reason that their location was discovered. It wouldn't have added much more to the movie IMO.

And I love the return of various elements that are important to the movie, but they completely ignored during the others.

That's true, but in the movie they had the characters wondering how they had been found. It's like they set up the question but never answered it. If you're going to cut the answer, they should have cut the question as well - it just adds confusion to the movie.

Deathly Hallows pt 1 was my least favorite of all the films. The entirety of the movie could have been 30-40 minutes and no one would have skipped a beat. Also, we REALLY could have done without the horribly awkward dancing scene... ew.
