Serenity 2005, PG-13)
One of the better sci-fi space movies of recent times. Loved it without having seen Firefly, though I quickly rented all those episodes after watching this. |

District 9 2009, R)
The "morality" storyline was weak, there were a few too many character inconsistencies and I don't think the handheld / documentary style of shooting were totally necessary, but those flaws aside this was an extremely entertaining and satisfying movie. |
|
| 32 |
All the Pretty Horses 2000, PG-13)
I'm surprised at how much I was riveted by this film in spite of its slow pace. I enjoyed the story, the acting, and thought that the Matt Damon/Penelope Cruz romance worked really well. |

Arlington Road 1999, R)
Atypical but awesome ending, and well acted throughout by Bridges and Robbins. I was also a huge fan of Joan Cusack's character. Very thought-provoking for a terrorist / conspiracy theory movie, but loses points for relying a little too much on coincidence and for a few unexplained holes. |
