Guillermo del Toros foray into the comic book world of Hellboy is an exciting, funny, and surprisingly touching sequel with some of the best visual effects Ive seen.
Seven Pounds
The high rating is more of a testament to the cast than the story itselfits decent, but Will Smith brings an extra level to this not-so-feel-good film.
Body of Lies
Ridley Scott plus Russell Crowe plus Leonardo DiCaprio plus political intrigue and action equal a thoroughly engaging thriller that will hopefully find more success on DVD than it did in theaters.
Juno
Juno has its moments of too cool for schoolness, but there’s a great big ‘ol heart in there that makes it worth it. Fo shizz.
Funny Games U.S.
An exact replica (in English) of the original, this couldve been a superior psychological thrillerand it STILL couldve made its pointbut instead, it comes off as patronizing and snobby.
Watchmen
The director of 300 has once again taken a classic graphic novel and brought it to the big screen with obvious affection, and while that sometimes makes this a little too literal of an adaptation, its still full of truly special effects and super performances.
