Update (Tuesday 5 January 2010): I haven't reviewed any films since Brüno (in a vain attempt to streamline my life and get on with my DPhil without unnecessary clutter) but I've still added these films to this list and given them a rating. These are the films without hyperlinks, such as The Boondock Saints.
Update (Monday 11 January 2010): I'm now going to try reviewing films within Twitter's limit of 140 characters, starting with The Road.

Great article. Good luck with your studies my friend. Always looking forward to your reviews. Love the idea of twitter-sized reviews. People these days love their info short and sweet. You absolutely must see Avatar (in 3d or IMAX 3d). What an experience. I'll be a'waitin' that review. -Michael Joyce (The Joyce Review)
