X-Men First Class
A decent story, but lacks coherence and subtlety, plus is kind of a B movie.

Fast Five
The Fast and the Furious + Ocean’s Eleven + Predator (* The Rock!) = Fast Five

Thor
Awesome film. Probably a good idea to keep hammers away from me for a while…

Sucker Punch
Doesn’t hide the seems so well… and it’s very style over substance… but what style!

Tron Legacy
Trailers raised expectations, reviews lowered them significantly. The film itself: good, but not great.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest
Worse than the first, better than the second. If you haven’t: read the books first.

London Boulevard
Monahan’s raw talent without Scorsese’s finess. The Departed, it’s not. Worth your time, it is.

Let Me In
No subtitles, more CG, but otherwise, well, I kept expecting people to start speaking Swedish…

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole
A brilliant film for kids featuring non anthropomorphized owls… and Snyder still manages spectacular action.

The Social Network
No Rosebud, but still fascinating. The script’s the star, but the camera gets its moment.

Despicable Me
As much a toy advert as a film, not bad, though, just “meh.” Also: Brand!

The Town
He did it again. It feels gritty, real, and more than a little heart breaking.

The Girl Who Played with Fire
I don’t understand. The first one was great… why no production value this time?

Hot Tub Time Machine
It’s not a terrible film, but if you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen the jokes.
Disclaimer: this was the second film I watched during a 13 hour flight. This may have distorted my viewpoint.

She's Out of My League
Sort of like “Knocked Up,” only I think I enjoyed it more. Also: more believable.
Disclaimer: this was the first film I watched during a 13 hour flight. This may have distorted my viewpoint.

Cemetery Junction
It’s not a comedy exactly, but it is funny, and very cleverly written.
Disclaimer: this was the third film I watched during a 13 hour flight. This may have distorted my viewpoint.

Scott Pilrim vs the World
If you get this film you’ll love it, if not: I pity you a little.

Pirates of Silicon Valley
This film is actually better than you’d expect, but the story needs more time.

Predators
THIS is the sequel to Predator! There IS no chopper, but you should run anyway!

Get Him to the Greek
No redeeming features. None. Puff Daddy is the best thing in it. It’s that bad.

Eclipse
The film is surprisingly good. Someone could edit it down to something better, though.

The A-Team
They made an actual A-Team film! It’s one hell of a lot of fun.

My Bloody Valentine 3D
Prepare to be confused, scared, and impressed by this surprisingly well made remake.
