July Movies

Movie watching for the month of July with patent-pending two-word reviews:

Man About Town - confused tone
The Thing (2011) - successful prequel
American Hardcore: The History of Punk Rock 1980 – 1986 - essential viewing
The Getaway (1998) - decent remake
The Ring - effectively creepy
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (US) - brutal thriller
Take Shelter - slowly engaging
Haywire - stylized action
Jawbreaker - overly shallow
The I Inside - confusing thriller
The Dark Knight Rises - fitting conclusion
Margin Call - unsatisfying ending
Hated: GG Allin & the Murder Junkies - disturbing insight
Contagion - effectively disturbing
The Big Year - quaintly entertaining
