Wanted

Better than I expected, and better than it seems at first, give Wanted a chance and you’ll find a great looking, somewhat entertaining action film with possibilities.

District 9

This intelligent South African movie is a brilliant combination of social commentary, sci-fi and action.

The Hurt Locker

A tense Iraq war film that fuses explosive action with emotional and thought-provoking drama to make a must-see movie.

Halloween

Zombie has shown he knows how to do his own horror right, but he should have left the classic alone; the movie ultimately fails due to the fact that it tries to justify Michael Myers by making him nothing more than a sad little boy who grew up bad.

Saw III

Better than its predecessor, Saw III still doesn’t capture the dread of the original, but it comes close.

X-Files: I Want To Believe

Chris Carter should’ve known better, and yet, here it is, a movie from the man who created a classic TV show that is not even as good as the worst of its episodes.

The Uninvited

Not bad if you saw it on TV, this remake of the much stronger A Tale of Two Sisters lacks any real boo factor and is, in the end, not very memorable.

Orphan

A really well made creepy horror that lets itself down at the end.

Eagle Eye

One of the best action movies I’ve seen in a while, Eagle Eye offers all you want—great effects, solid story, and a healthy dose of paranoia.

Lost: The Complete First Season

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 once—and the first season is just a sample of what’s to come.
