Rated 5.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 3.5 \| 10 rating	Two Lovers James Gray \| Closing Night I enjoyed this movie a lot. While I would have preferred a slightly different ending, I thought the performances were great (especially Joaquin) and the take on love and relationships was very real.	7/30/2009
Rated 3.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 3.2 \| 10 rating	Alphabet Killer Rob Schmidt \| Dark Matters The writing was a bit rough and stilted in the beginning but it settled and this ended up being a good movie overall. Outside of Eliza, the acting was pretty rough but there were definitely some moments that I jumped from surprise and while the movie didn't get me hooked on the overall case that much, the performance by Eliza Dushku was good and I couldn't wait to see what she would do next. Worth checking out ...	10/20/2008
Rated 4.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 3.6 \| 6 rating	Trucker James Mottern \| Narrative Feature Competition A very good movie (short of being great though) and definitely worth watching. While the overall story is somewhat predictable, it was nice watching Diane and Peter interact and I thought they gave nice performances. The cinematography was excellent.	10/20/2008
