I give it 5 1/2 out of 6 buffalo wings.

Everybody I know that's seen it says it's the movie of the year... I've got free passes to an indie theater that's playing it, so I have to peep it before it's gone. Danny Boyle is one of my favorite directors.

I caught Gran Torino and The Wrestler... both very good flicks. The Wrestler is probably Aronofsky's most traditional work, yet... Rourke is really good (seeing Marisa Tomei play a stripper is an added bonus).

Going to catch "Taken" later this week... it's supposedly an amped-up "Bourne"-type flick starring Liam Neeson.
