Big Screen: The Black Dahlia.
Some strong acting (Hilary Swank, for one, was wonderful. Completely forgot it was her in every scene). Strong directing (Brian de Palma's been pretty much a god to me since the first time I saw "Body Double"). Really great illustration of noir. Good movie. But ultimately felt things moved a little bit slower than they could have.
There was one point in particular where a conversation between two people was being conducted soooo slowly and that was already 1h45 into the movie and I thought "This is GOOD, but it might go on forever..." (My dad disagrees; he quite liked the pacing.)
And if I haven't mentioned it before, Aaron Eckhart's picture is next to "yummy" in my dictionary...
