26
Black Snake Moan 2007,  R)
Black Snake Moan
An amazing movie,with two of the best performances from Christina Ricci and Samuel L Jackson i have sever seen.The blues sung in this is aches with feeling and gives the movie a genuine feeling of the deep South.A movie based on unlikely relationships have been done before,but this is the best.

29
Shoot 'Em Up 2007,  R)
Shoot 'Em Up
One of the best actioners in a long time,with a body count nearly as high as a computer game!Great music,action and mind blowing gun fights which will leave you with either a big grin on your face or sheer bewilderment at what is happening on screen.Giamatti is great,even as a bad guy he is very lovable,and Owen is brilliant as Mr Smith.Carrots will never look the same!
30
Iron Man 2008,  PG-13)
Iron Man
One of the action movies of the year.A real pearl of a movie,with Robert Downey Jr playing Tony Stark brilliantly.He is well supported by Paltrow and Bridges.A real fun movie,good action and one liners.A must to watch a least two or three times.

Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis (Welcome to the Land of Shtis) (Welcome to the Sticks)
The French know how to do comedy.This one is another brilliant piece of comedy,which ticks all the right boxes.Even with the subtitled version,the movie was understandable and "gettable".One to watch againa nd again.
33
Mamma Mia! 2008,  PG-13)
Mamma Mia!
This movie will make you laugh out lout,and sing.Yes it is a musical.Its got singing and dancing.Its very kitsch.Mery Streep does a great number and generally the cast does it s bit very well,though there were a couple of cringe moments with Pierce Brosnan's singing.If this movie does not make you smile and laugh,you have missed the point.
34
Hitman 2007,  R)
Hitman
An underrated movie based on the Character from the game Hitman,this was a decent watch with plenty of action and stylized killings.Something you would expect from the game.The plot is not too hard to follow,and Timothy Olyphant plays a great Mr47.Easily watchable again and again.
35
Lost In Translation 2003,  R)
Lost In Translation
it took a couple of times to appreciate this movie,but the combination of the minimalistic dialog,great soundtrack and filmorgaphy and the story of two lost souls made this a blend worth watching again and again.
36
Thank You For Smoking 2005,  R)
37
Casino Royale 2006,  PG-13)
Casino Royale
The best Bond film i have ever seen.Action packed to the end,and tragic to the point of exasperation!
Daniel Craig plays a harder Bond.Still has that bit of humor,but he is much darker in character.Eva Green is one of the best bond girls i have seen too.One to watch again!This change in direction has breathed a new lease of life in the Bond franchise.May it last!
38
Star Trek 2009,  PG-13)
Star Trek
Great movie from start to finish,which flowed with a great tempo which never really slowed.A good cast made up a young crew of the original Star Trek,which all featured the characters catch phrases,and character quirks.best movie of the franchise,the future looks good for this old franchise.
