Eastern Promises
R
This movie kept me very interested throughout. Captivating story and acting. But then it ended and I was very confused. It felt like it was only half way through when it ended. What exactly happened? Did Semyon get arrested? Is Nikolai now the boss? Is he continuing the part? Did Anna legally adopt Christine? And was there something going on between Nikolai and Kirill?
Monsters vs. Aliens
PG
A cute sci-fi adventure. Lots of laughs and fuzzy feelings and lots of action. It went by really fast but I'm not overly disappointed about that because at least it kept my attention for the full length.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
PG
There is nothing like this movie. Nowhere can you find characters that you can feel for as much as these, or with a story that feels so real yet is a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The lightsaber duel is clearly dated, but there is still more emotion in it than in some later duels (i.e. Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda vs. Dooku). It is always fascinating to watch the beloved characters come together, as if watching it for the first time (except a few characters, such as Yoda, who we don't meet until later episodes). While watching the closing scene, why do we find ourselves as proud as Han and Luke?
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
PG
The same as A New Hope, but more. Excitement more than you could have imagined. The battle of Hoth, a sight to be remembered. And in the Bespin cloud city, drama like has never been seen before, as the heroes are betrayed and handed over to their mortal enemy, Han is taken away, and Luke discovers that his ultimate foe is also his father. Why, as Vader says the words, do we shiver to the bone?
