Extraordinary Measures
Extraordinary Measures is a good movie. It’s sentimental but not in an inauthentic way.
The performances, in fact, are all very good. Brendan Frasier looks like he’s put on weight and

Up in the Air
Up in the Air is a film that’s incredibly topical for our current culture, touching on the zeitgeist of our economic downturn and the emotional ramifications of living in that, hoping to
Up
I shouldn’t be surprised that I loved Up, because Pixar is very good at what they do. But I don’t generally love animated movies so I didn’t expect much.
I didn’t expect really adorable characters that were surprisingly easy to relate to and care about. And I don’t
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
It’s amazing what a good director can do.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I had high hopes for Transformers 2, I’ll admit. The trailer promised sharp, breath taking action, a little humor, robot fights, guy and girl running hand in hand, a bit of a deeper mythology and the expectation of a happy ending.
I think it was probably too much to expect any sort of deeper mythology, but with a good writer it could have
Terminator Salvation
The interesting thing about Terminator Salvation is that it really wasn’t John Connor’s movie. Christian Bale was a great John Connor. He was strong and focused and interesting. There was
