The Bourne Ultimatum - PG-13
|
|
Definitely one of the BEST movies you're going to see this summer. Having said that I've to remind viewers that Greengrass the director of the film owes a HUGE thanks to Inarritu (director of films like Amores Perros, Babel and 21 Grams) who introduced the shaky cam whose style this film overemphasizes. Having said that, Bourne series is a rare type of film where the action does not ignore the character development and here Bourne's identity is finally brought to the fore and all loose ends tied. Now that doesn't mean there won't be a fourth part; I for one believe that Bond is dead (given its stupid plots and ridiculous gadgets) but Bourne is the new Bond and will last a LONG time to come. Catch it in theaters and don't forget to strap on your seatbelt. This is ONE HELLUVA RIDE!

District 9 - R

this movie combines the humanity and soul of a Kurosawa film with the twists and turns of a Hitchcock movie. finally sprinkle some FX dust and what you've got is this year's BEST film yet.

Terrific work that impresses with the ability to convey emotions effectively, while literally dismantling the rules of movie making with each passing scene. And, Anna Karenina! Wow!

Doubt - PG-13
|
|
Solely rests on the shoulders of 4 capable actors - Hoffman, Streep, Adams and Viola Davis. Two scenes between - Hoffman / Streep and Streep / David in particular are outstanding.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - PG-13

The only movie that literally put me to sleep. A VERY BORING VERSION of Forrest Gump that escapes the accusation of plagiarism since it's helmed by the same same script-writer.

Rachel Getting Married - R
|
|
The basic premise behind this movie has already been executed in "Monsoon Wedding" both in style and content. However, the entire movie rests on the shoulders of the cast who (for the most part) ably carry it forward.

Started rather awfully, but then stopped short of being a complete disaster with Carrey showing shades of his former self. Not a must-see.

Star Trek - PG-13
|

I'm not a trekkie, but believe JJ Abrams can't go wrong. And he proved it again w/ this movie. A consistent script, well fleshed out characters of a legendary franchise, a terrific background score, flawless casting, near perfect cinematography - even the lens flare was pure genius, stellar visual fx. worth watching in theaters.

Rourke were robbed of a well-deserved Oscar win + Evan Rachel Wood was a revelation! Terrific direction by Aronofsky that places you in the center of all the action, making you wince and feel the pain, both emotional and physical.

The Wild Bunch - R

While Peckinpah lacks the visual poetry of Kurosawa, he definitely reminds us of the kinetic energy of Kurosawa's movies. The violence comes close to Tarantino's movies but in a more realistic way. Think of it as a grittier, less romanticized "Butch Cassidy".

Straw Dogs - R

One of the most psychologically intense movies you'll ever see. Be warned: the movie has some extremely violent scenes that you may want to avoid seeing. That said, directorially it is Peckinpah at his best.
