First up, some reviews:

In non-geographical news, I watched a few more in the queue.

So far, two movies watched, both 4 stars:
Dark Knight (Susannah): Only two complaints. One, too violent. I'm not a fan of violence. Second, Christian Bale while playing Batman. He sounded like our first ever constipated super hero.
Grizzly Man (Greg): Had some reservations watching this, thinking that they would lionize Timothy ...
