Previous 10: 12 December - Or Is It Nine?

So technically/maybe this is only 9 films, but I suppose it depends on how you view Che. I'm still not sure what to make of it, as Soderbergh makes a lot of strong decisions as well as bad ones. More thoughts on some of the others later, including Slumdog Millionaire and Blindness.
