Poetry (Shi)

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
04/29/11 Outstanding "...beautiful... Yun Jung-hee is wonderful in a deceptively powerful performance. She commands our attention like a well-timed whisper."
2.

Blue Valentine

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
01/14/11 Outstanding "There's a beauty, a rhythm, and a subtle sense of discovery... a magical experience.... Gosling and Williams are over-the-edge excellent."
3.

The King's Speech

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
12/24/10 Outstanding "Rich characters fully drawn. Sterling performances. Superb writing, production design, no wasted scenes. Director Tom Hooper has made a breathtaking masterpiece."
4.

Nowhere Boy

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
10/15/10 Outstanding "...looks as if Taylor-Wood took a book of vintage Lennon photographs out for the night, got it drunk, sprinkled magic dust on its pages, and danced happily in the streets..."
5.

The Social Network

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
10/01/10 Outstanding "...a good old-fashioned story of ambition, friendship and betrayal, wrapped around the modern creation of a website with 500 million members."
6.

The American

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
09/01/10 Outstanding "...a suspenseful ride that keeps getting better and better.... marvelously well directed by Anton Corbijn..."
7.

Countdown to Zero

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
08/06/10 Outstanding "...a smart, sharply made documentary. For the topic that we may try to block out of our minds it is suitably sobering, and completely horrifying."
8.

Inception

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
07/16/10 Outstanding "Nolan knows how to tell stories that insert us right into the heat of the scenes. We're there sharing the experience... scared, excited, wide-eyed. It all seems so real."
9.

Winter's Bone

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
07/16/10 Outstanding "...a compelling slice of America's dark side that for once is not awash in urban cliches. The paranoid people slowly get under our skin."
10.

Toy Story 3

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
06/18/10 Outstanding "...a funny, touching and, dare I say, moving movie.... takes the themes of change and letting go and wraps them lovingly in a comedy-adventure."
11.

The A-Team

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
06/11/10 Outstanding "Carnahan's plot mysteries are mere stepping stones to the antics and breezy interaction of the charismatic characters. And the bad guys are funny, too."
12. 04/16/10 Outstanding "Hungarian Rezso Kasztner saved nearly 1,700 fellow Jews... But to pull it off, he had to negotiate with one of the most notorious Nazis of all: Adolf Eichmann."
13.

The White Ribbon

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
02/26/10 Outstanding "...masterful... The look alone of 'The White Ribbon' will blow you away.... Haneke has said he wanted to explore the 'psychological preconditions' of fascism."
14.

Me and Orson Welles

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
12/18/09 Outstanding "Richard Linklater has a great, collaborative touch with actors, and an excellent eye for what makes movies compelling.... fabulously fun..."
15.

Up in the Air

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
12/18/09 Outstanding "...it's how films are supposed to be made: sharp writing, crisp, clever direction, a perfectly cast ensemble. And, oh yeah, George Clooney..."
16.

Avatar

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
12/18/09 Outstanding "Anyone with an interest in films and filmmaking will appreciate what writer-director James Cameron has achieved."
17.

The Road (2009)

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
12/18/09 Outstanding "The spare, beautiful writing comes to life in the desperate doings of father (Viggo Mortensen) and son (newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee)."
18.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Cleveland Plain-Dealer
11/25/09 Outstanding "Wes Anderson's best film, and the clever writer-director has already amused us with 'Bottle Rocket,' 'Rushmore,' 'The Royal Tenenbaums' and other quirky treats."
19. 11/20/09 Outstanding "...a powerful, deeply moving film that drives an arrow straight through your heart.... 'Precious' comes down to two words: See it."
20. 10/16/09 Outstanding "The Russian soldiers forced themselves on the women several times a day, and it didn't matter if they were old, young, married or terrified.... powerful..."
