*Originally released in 2007, but whatever. It's my list.
**TV movie I think, but again I say "whatever".

(I was going to write about what I liked about each of these movies but then I remembered it's Saturday and SUPERBLOG!!'s readership drops quite a bit during the weekend and nobody reads old posts (right?) so it's not worth the effort. Wait, that's insulting to the people actually reading this. Shit, I've failed again. Now I feel bad.)

If it seems like I left out some great movies (release list on Wikipedia), it is either because I haven't seen them yet (Burn After Reading? Vicky Cristina Barcelona?) or, more likely, because they actually suck and you just don't realize it (I told you about Billy Butt-Head and Slumdog). Or else, actually the most probable scenario, I kind of liked them but didn't really like them (Milk, Pineapple Express, Wendy and Lucy, many others).

So what do you think? I assume I'm right about everything?
