3.5/5
District 9 (2009)
After seeing the film, I can say with confidence that Neill Blomkamp should not only be given whatever project he wants, but I will also be first in line to see it.

Star Trek (2009)
It remains to be seen whether this film will breathe new life to the franchise, but it certainly is one hell of a ride.

Up (2009)
Up might not be considered one of the best Pixar films, but it's a really good film, and definitely worth seeing.

2.5/5
Angels & Demons (2009)
Angels & Demons isn't a truly compelling film, and while it's engaging and well paced, it just doesn't hold the excitement as much as something like National Treasure.

Knowing (2009)
I'd say Knowing is worth a rental, and it would be interesting to see if there is a more substantive director's cut that helps fill in a few of the holes.

I Love You, Man (2009)
I Love You, Man is a comedy that is rather predictable, with forced and uncomfortable situations, and only a smattering of laughs. It won't be remembered in two weeks.

Friday the 13th (2009)
If you're interested in seeing it, you can probably hold out for home video, but really you should just watch the original one.

3.5/5
The International (2009)
One of the best sequences in the film involves the attempted apprehension of an assassin - and the ultimate shootout in the Guggenheim Museum is truly a phenomenal action setpiece.

Coraline (2009)
Coraline is a film that showcases excellent talent from start to finish, and is an excellent example of the future of traditional animation, especially when seen in 3D.

The Reader (2008)
I suppose there's supposed to be some story about redemption and absolution or something, but it never really clicked for me.

3.5/5
Changeling (2008)
As a film that explores the impact of police corruption on the public, as well as a woman's unrelenting search for her missing son, Changeling is well worth checking out.

The Wrestler (2008)
While it might not be something to watch over and over again, it's an absolutely engaging and fascinating look at a sad character at the twilight of his career.

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
It's not a conventional film by any means, and it's a great story told exceptionally well.

2.5/5
Burn After Reading (2008)
It's not something to run out and see, but on home video, Burn After Reading is worth checking out - just don't expect anything to linger.

Gran Torino (2009)
This is a movie that is all about Clint and his performance, and it's one that is well worth seeing.

It runs a little on the long side, but The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is certainly worth your time, and a highly enjoyable journey through a man's life.

Milk (2008)

Bolt (2008)
You feel good when the film ends, and for Disney's animated fall release, Bolt is worth checking out.

Doubt (2008)
If you're looking for a thought provoking drama with excellent acting, Doubt is likely the film to see this winter.

Revolutionary Road (2008)
Revolutionary Road feels like it was a series of drama club exercises strung together with a weak narrative.

Body of Lies (2008)
Body of Lies is a good film, but not a great film. It has enjoyable moments, but a few character issues and a predictable romantic angle prevent it from being a much better movie.

Appaloosa (2008)
Appaloosa will not rank up there as a great Western, but it certainly satisfies the requirements to be a solid and enjoyable one.

Eagle Eye (2008)
Eagle Eye might not deliver anything truly amazing, but in terms of escapist fare, it's not bad entertainment - it's just not smart.

Miracle at St. Anna (2008)
Overall the film is worth checking out, even if it's not likely to be the big Awards Film that it was trying to be.

How the West Was Won (1963)
It's best seen on as big a television as you can find; the new transfer is excellent and I would strongly recommend you check this one out, even as rental.

It's a disappointing film that heralds the end of Summer 2008, and hopefully puts and end to the franchise as well.

3/5
It's a fun bit of entertainment, but it doesn't have as intricate a story as the first film, and at times it felt like Del Toro was going a bit overboard with the eyecandy.

The Dark Knight (2008)
It's a movie that just succeeds on every possible level - it is THE movie of the summer (if not the year), and I can't recommend it enough.

It's more of a rental, but one you should snag after you check out the first season of "Get Smart", which will be on DVD later this summer.

It's more of a home video film, but without the ability to do 3D at home, it's gotta be a theatrical experience.

Kung Fu Panda (2008)
While Kung Fu Panda won't break the mold for story, it has a pretty straightforward plot that is entertaining enough to keep you satisfied for an hour and a half.

It's competently crafted, but not anything you need to rush out and see. If you want nostalgia, watch the original trilogy.
