I started keeping a movie journal and here is what January looked like (I know I won't have time tomorrow to watch a movie so it is officially done for January). I also graded each movie immediately after watching it. Obviously, I should never be a professional critic.

Agree with your overall assessment of Gamer. However, what'd you think of Michael C. Hall? His performance and the final dance number almost - ALMOST - saved the entire film for me, which I think says a few things about Mr. Dexter Morgan's talents as a thespian.
He was fun, I'll grant you that. But I didn't make it to the dance number (now wishing I had) because I was too busy pulling my fingernails out.
