Quick Movie Reviews: Buried and Middle Men

Buried: This was one hell of a thriller. I was really surprised by how good it was. It's a very simple concept, but it's extremely effective in the execution The clausthrophobia of the setting really worked to the film's advantage. Ryan Reynolds gives the character a lot of depth and you really feel sympathy for his character. A really suspenseful old school thriller.
4/5 Stars

Middle Men: You really wouldn't expect a comedy/drama about the birth of internet porn to be this well written. The script is pretty sharp and clever overall. The whole film is pretty entertaining and surprisingly dark. Giovanni Ribsi steals the show as one of the two guys that starts up the first online porn site. One of the more underlooked films of 2010 that's worth a watch for sure.
3.5/5 Stars
