District 9 - R
|
|
Not without its problems (secondary character development in particular) this film is different enough, and unique enough, to provide a great antidote to the recent Terminator/Transformers rubbish. A sci-fi film with a brain -- who knew that was still possible?!

Drag Me to Hell - PG-13

Not particularly scary (besides in a "Boo!" kind of way) but lotsa lotsa fun!

Bog-standard "bromance" with nothing really special to offer, but well made nonetheless.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - PG

The best "Potter" film so far. Not coincidentally, it's the first Potter to remember the golden rule of film: show, don't tell.

Public Enemies - R
|
|
The inexplicable choice to light this movie like a home video (and film it in really bad digital) means you are constantly ripped out of the action and forced to notice the sheer technical awfulness. Depp constructs his performance around a Clark Gable impersonation -- but can't manage Gable's rapid-fire delivery, so just looks constipated. The "script" is full of purple and leaves you utterly indifferent to the plight of any of the major characters.

Terminator Salvation - PG-13
|
|
A stupidly stupid film that (deliberately, one is forced to conclude) smashes and/or ignores everything that made the first two interesting. Drips with contempt for its audience from the first frame to the last.

Not even Mark Wahlberg playing a scientist can sell this steaming pile of anti-logic (mere "illogic" isn't quite vituperative enough). Yes, that's right, watching this will actually make you stupider.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona - PG-13

Extraordinary direction, locations, and acting disguise what is simply the pure old-fashioned voyeurism of sneaking a peek at the travails of the obscenely rich.
