Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007, PG-13)
My second favorite of the series, after The Prisoner of Azkaban. It's good to see the kids actually taking action. Rather than waiting for bad things to happen, they prepare themselves for a coming war. According to some (like my sister) they shredded the book, but as a movie, it holds its own. |

District 9 (2009, R)
Daring technique, an engaging story, and political subtext in the guise of pop sci fi. Everything true science fiction should aspire to. |

Inglourious Basterds (2009, R)
For a true blue Tarantino fan, Basterds doesn't disappoint. The amount of suspense wrung from dialogue scenes is tremendous. Like all of QT's work, it's a movie ABOUT other movies. Here's a case where he managed to work film history into the plot -- brilliant! There are moments of violence that are squirm inducing and some that are ludicrously funny. Christoph Waltz is mesmerizing as Colonel Landa. After his best actor win at Cannes, it will be interesting to see if he gets an Oscar nomination. |
