Shouldve known a studio thats made us love a robot with no dialogue and rat living in a kitchen could make a story out of anything, but I had no idea they could make me cry, laugh, and feel as happy as I did with Up.
Adventure
Up
City of Ember
Suffering from a lack of promotion and marketing, City of Ember never had the audience it deserved, but time will prove this cautionary tale of independent thinking is also a beautifully made, exciting adventure tale that works on many levels.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
This is a fitting ending to one of cinema’s best trilogies, which gives us all the characters and resolutions we needed and a whole bunch of Jack Sparrowliterally.
Star Trek
One of the most fully enjoyable movie-going experiences Ive had in awhile, Star Trek is exciting, funny, looks great, and offers the perfect balance between re-inventing history and paying homage to its roots.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
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.
Australia
Sure its long and full of melodrama, but its also full of breathtaking cinematography, love and soul, and all the things movies used to be made of.
