One of the few television shows worth committing to and sticking with for five-plus years, Lost is a creepy sci-fi thriller, a grand expanse of drama, a collection of romances, and pretty darn funny all at onceand the first season is just a sample of whats to come.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
An all-around thrilling experience, even at two-and-a-half hours, this Harry Potter installment only whets our appetite for the final act(s) with touches of humor, romance, adventure, and a little bit of scariness.
The Dark Knight
This sequel to Batman Begins is better than its predecessor, and Ledgers Joker will go down as one of the best screen villains of all time.
Terminator Salvation
Theres really nothing to recommend about this cold, dreary sequel, unless, of course, youre just one of those people who needs closurethough even at that, you dont really get it.
Cars
An OK diversion for the kids, Cars has a fantastic animation department but lacks when it comes to story and heart.
The Orphanage
More than simply a horror film, The Orphanage is haunting and subtle while offering a truly coherent and emotional ghost story.
