Starring Michael Stuhlbarg
Directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
Rated R for language, some sexuality/nudity, and brief violence
1 hour 46 minutes

This one is about a middle-aged Jewish man and his struggles with his family, career, and faith.  It’s obviously well-acted and directed, but the story goes nowhere and ends disappointingly.  I actually think some people categorized it as a comedy, yet I didn’t laugh at all.  Clearly this one went over my head.

Grade: C

Watch the trailer here.

Of the 2010 Best Picture nominees, here is my ranking so far:

1. Inglourious Basterds
2. Up
3. District 9
4. The Blind Side
5. Up in the Air
6. The Hurt Locker
7. Precious
8. A Serious Man

… and I still think that Star Trek is better than all of them.
