Mr. Brooks was an excellent film -- a great commentary on addiction that's frighteningly easy to related to. While I wouldn't rank it in my top 10, I would go so far as to say that I loved it.
One movie I was somewhat dissappointed in was Stephen King's The Mist. One part of me really like it, and another part just felt like it was a total sack of shit. The character development is shallow, and the kill scenes aren't spectacular. The premise for the monsters' existence is explained in a mere 45 seconds of petty dialogue about 2/3 of the way through (basically, a military experiment opened the door to another dimension that had giant fucking spiders, mega land-living octupuses, and pterodactyls). And, as usual, Stephen King villifies Christianity and makes the religious nut give Christians a bad name. What a fucking surprise. Stephen King is a douche. Nonetheless, a part of me really liked the film, and in many ways I was drawn into it. For instance, I constantly found myself thinking about what I would do in many of the situations the protaganists encountered. Lastly, the ending was awesomely depressing. Seriously, it might have the most depressing ending I've ever seen (right up there with Requiem For a Dream).
