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.

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.

Duplicity

More character-driven spy romantic comedy than espionage movie, this film harkens back to the classic days of the “star” film, and for the witty back and forth alone, this is better than you may have heard.

Whiteout

Whiteout could’ve been a taut, suspenseful crime thriller, but instead, it’s a lot of bad dialogue and dull mystery that leads up to a lackluster climax — but the snow is pretty.

Surrogates

Not the film it could’ve been, Surrogates brings some intriguing ideas and performances, but is ultimately a bit too convoluted and messy when it tries to be a hybrid of too many genres.

People will despise this movie for its quirky dialogue and its over-exposed lead, but given a chance, Jennifer’s Body is entertaining, a little bit different, and deserves better than it’s gotten, despite some obvious flaws.

Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray has it’s redeeming features but it all seems a bit underwhelming – more of a BBC2 period drama deemed too hot for TV.

District 9

A film that transcends in genre, District 9 is an instant classic that gives sci-fi the boost of credibility it’s deserved for a long time.
