V for Vendetta

Just because you can see its message from a mile away, don’t think this is some simple revenge/anti-government movie; a fully realized, thought-provoking viewing experience.

A Christmas Carol

Dark, scary, and fantastic visually, this revamp of the quintessential Christmas story sticks close to its source and delivers the intended allegory on the inevitable cost of greed.

Capitalism: A Love Story

Not quite as entertaining as some of his work, Michael Moore’s latest documentary is still a fascinating glimpse into how the financial system the U.S. prides itself on may actually have led to its decline.

This Is It

A perfect tribute for fans, This Is It shows the process behind the creative mind AND showcases a bunch of classic pop tunes.

Moon

One of the best movies of the year, Moon is so much more than a story about a space station, and with a standout, virtually one-man performance from Sam Rockwell, hopefully those in the know will take interest come awards season.

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

An interesting story that doesn’t really deliver on its potential, this one may get in on the big vampire train making its way through pop culture, but its inability to find itself is disappointing.

Pandorum

Nothing we haven’t seen before, Pandorum is still a suspenseful take on the “lost in space” theme that sci-fi fans will enjoy.

Fame

There’s just no reason to recommend this plot-free, bland, choppy musical that may one day be the most embarrassing listing on some of its cast’s resumes.

The Informant!

Often funny and always well-acted, it’s sometimes a bit inconsistent, but still proof that Matt Damon can handle just about anything.

Where the Wild Things Are

Not quite a kids’ movie, but not exactly for adults either, this little boy and his monster friends are surprisingly melancholy, interspersed with some subtle humor, in a film that’s interesting but lacks some inexplicable spark.
