- The Nine Muses (D) Collection of beautiful images and audio book quotes. Found it frustratingly boring.
- Pretty Girls Make Graves (B) A few strange entries that I didn't understand the appeal, but so many fantastic female-centered films that it was 2 hours well spent!
- Smash His Camera
- The Parking Lot Movie (A) Really funny. And existential? I laughed a lot and was left thinking. I'd recommend it for sure.
- The King's Speech (B+) Fantastic performances. Great on all counts, though a little standard.

- Catfish - Not at all what I expected. Fascinating.
