Another rec: Creep. I thought that it was a really well done found footage movie, a genre that has gotten a pretty bad reputation over the years after all of the Blair Witch ripoffs. Still, worth the time even if you can say that you saw it.

I thought
True Grit was retarded. However good the rest of the movie was, the way the characters talked just took me right out it. These are likely uneducated rednecks, and yet they're talking like the most refined Southern gentleman stereotypes of all time. Like, really? Can't you dumb them down just a bit for the sake of realism? It was like watching
Boyz n tha Hood, except Ice Cube is using Shakespearean language.
