DAYBREAKERS: A plague of vampirism turns 99% of the world's population into vampires; as the bloodsuckers use up their supply of human cattle and the world blood supply dwindles, one human-sympathizing vamp searches for a cure to the disease.  An excellent setup (that would have made a good idea for a novel) gradually turns into a contrived, by-the-numbers action flick; still worth seeing for hemoglobin fans for the unique concept of a society dominated by vampires.  Even as a kid, I never quite understood why vampirism didn't spread so quickly that the entire world didn't quickly turn into vampires with no victims left; I give the writers big points for finally addressing that problem.  Tons of blood and exploding vampires, too, if that's your thing.  3.5/5.

I saw The Wolfman.  It was alright.  Good gore and such, good makeup design.  The main storyline stuff is just kind of meh. 

The original is far superior.  Hardly surprising though.

UP IN THE AIR: George Clooney plays a professional ax-man for hire, spending his life traveling around the country hoarding frequent flyer miles, living out of  airports and hotels.  Beautifully acted drama that addresses the contemporary fears of how technology may undermine human connectedness, as well as universal themes of freedom versus commitment.  Definitely one of the better movies of 2009.  4.5/5.

I just saw The Book of Eli. It's pretty good allthough, I think it could have been better. Its definitaly worth a shot if your looking for a decent post-apocaylpse film.

I think pretty much the same.
The action was good, but I found it to be a little too preachy...

Last night, I saw Legion.

It was what I expected: some good parts but mostly just... typical.

Also some of the supposedly scary parts just seemed like something out of youtube.
That is really the best way to describe it.

I really liked the idea though.

I'll admit it definitely is preachy, but I don't think it was really religious zealotry. I endure more preachiness from my Baptist Aunt!

Sorry, I didn't mean to put words in your mouth. I kinda wrote that when I was a little tipsy.

AVATAR: A paraplegic Marine enters a alien body via telepathic link and goes native on a fantastic forest world, where the innocent forest people teach him the lesson nature=good, military/industrial complex = bad.  Excellent when it focuses on fantastic CGI vistas and action sequences, but kept at a distance from greatness by a derivative plot, hamfisted cliches, and a terminal case of the preachies.  4/5.

And yet you gave it a 4/5? the CGI and action sequences must really have rocked.  TeddyR

Yeah, I thought they did.  It really could have been a classic popcorn movie if not for the distracting preaching by Cameron.  Heck, even my super-liberal friend hated the movie because he thought it was too much.  But the effects and art design really are something to see.

THE WHITE RIBBON [DAS WEISSE BAND] (2009): A doctor's horse is tripped by a wire strung between two trees, and other "accidents" start happening around a German village on the eve of WWI.  We get to know the villagers and their sordid secrets quite well in 2.5 hours, but not the solution to the mystery.  Well acted and crafted but a bit obscure, both in plot and purpose. The Cannes Palme D'or Winner (shouldn't have been, in my view). 4/5.
