UP



  • Directed by Pete Docter
  • Yet another Pixar animation that has something for just about everybody to enjoy. Of special note is the superbly made bittersweet montage at the beginning of the film that goes into territory nobody dared to visit before in any animated production. Highly recommended. -Comment written by Dear

Terminator Salvation



  • Directed by McG
  • Starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington
  • Sam Worthington's terrific role is hijacked by Bale's uninspired performance. The problem isn't that Bale is a bad actor, its that John Connor is not particularly interesting. If the movie has focused more on Sam's character, it would have been better. -Comment written by Dear

Angels & Demons



  • Directed by Ron Howard
  • Starring Tom Hanks, Ewam McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard
  • This Davinci Code sequel is based less on its novel than its predecessor, and benefits from it. The mystery solving sequences are way too fast and abrupt to ever mean anything, but the plot's main idea, "Science vs. Religion", is strong enough to carry my interest. -Comment written by Dear

Star Trek



  • Durected by J.J. Abrams
  • Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana, Leonard Nimoy
  • One of the most straight up enjoyable sci-fi flicks I've ever seen. The story might lack a certain depth characteristic to Star Trek films, but damn is it fun to watch. The film oozes energy and momentum, relentless in its pacing. Here's hoping for more successful sequels to this franchise reboot. -Comment written by Dear

The International



  • Directed by Tom Tykwer
  • Starring Clive Owen, Naomi Watts
  • The movie's climax is very disappointing and underwhelming. It is also not very entertaining. Naomi Watts and Clive Owen did their best, but the script didn't give them much of a fighting chance. - Comment written by Dear

Knowing



  • Directed by Alex Proyas
  • Starring Nicholas Cage, Rose Byrne
  • Now this is better than "The Day the Earth stood still". Under the direction of Alex Proyas, the movie does not compromise on what its trying to say. The conclusion might not be agreeable to everyone, but its sheer scope is fantastic. The soundtrack is amazing, and the use of Beethoven's 7th symphony flow well with the scenes. The movie's best scenes are the disaster scenes, which combine Hollywood sized budget with vicious and unrelenting catastrophe. Its a beautifully realized apocalyse, as strange as that sounds.-Comment written by Dear

Bolt

  • The movie made me want to own a dog. It's a predictable nice fluffy cartoon adventure, but got so much done well that everybody can enjoy the trip. -Comment written by Dear

Watchmen



  • Directed by Zack Synder
  • Starring Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Caria Gugino
  • This is epic stuff. The story might not really be fun or even that thoughtful in this day and age, but you can clearly see its high ambitions. Seriously though, I had more fun with 300, Synder's previous movie. -Comment written by Dear

Red Cliff 2



  • Directed by John Woo
  • Starring Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi
  • Red Cliff 2 is pretty much a direct continuation of Red Cliff 1, with less fluff than part 1 and more intense actions. I enjoyed this one a lot more. -Comment written by Dear
