Some amusing dialogue and interesting entanglements make this interpretation of a real bank robbery watchable, engaging and surprisingly emotional.

Punisher: War Zone
I don’t turn off many films before getting to the end, but Punisher: War Zone’s dialog and action was so dire and had so few redeeming features that I gave up before the end, judge it on that basis.
Outlander
Decent production values, reasonable special effects and a better than average first half make Outlander worth watching despite being let down by the last 30 minutes.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Transformers delivers an engaging movie experience with thrills, spills and robot explosions, no more than you would expect but it hits the spot if that’s what you wanted.
Terminator Salvation
Salvation manages to pull the franchise out of the gutter with a good-enough performance supported mostly by the action and special effects.
The Day the Earth Stood Still
This remake of the original classic goes through the motions but appears to have no soul, and if you can’t attach yourself to the female lead and her annoying kid you’re left wondering why you should care.
Twelve Monkey’s
Compelling, intriguing and more than worth the effort, Twelve Monkey’s really defies genre selection and really has to be experienced.
Juno
A sweet and very funny emotionally engaging right of passage movie.
Equilibrium
A better than average sci-fi action movie that presents an interesting premise and some impressive gun fights, but make sure you bring heavy amounts of suspension of disbelief, you’ll need them.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
It was never going to be easy to turn the Hitchhiker’s Guide into a movie and while it was a decent attempt there are too many changes and not enough laughs to make this a true classic.
