- DirectorNora EphronStarsAmy AdamsMeryl StreepChris MessinaJulie Powell, a young blogger, is determined to emulate Julia Child's cooking techniques. Though separated by time, the two women share a common passion for food that intertwines their lives.My mum once told me, 'You can cook your way into a man's heart'. Too bad I don't cook.
- DirectorRobert LuketicStarsKatherine HeiglGerard ButlerBree TurnerAn uptight television producer takes control of a morning show segment on modern relationships hosted by a misogynistic man.It's enjoyable and light. I like both the leads. Oh yeah, the guy she rooted for was kinda cute too.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsJim CarreyGary OldmanColin FirthEbenezer Scrooge, a miserly old moneylender is visited by three Christmas spirits on Christmas Eve. Scrooge embarks on a journey of self-redemption to mend his miserly waysDon't know why, but I think the muppets version was better.
- DirectorMark HermanStarsAsa ButterfieldDavid ThewlisRupert FriendThrough the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a German concentration camp, a forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and unexpected consequences.A rather sad film with an extremely sad ending.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsAngelina JolieColm FeoreAmy RyanAfter Christine's son goes missing, she reaches out to the LAPD to find him, but when they try to pass off an impostor as her son to quiet public protests, she refuses to accept him or give up hope.This is another sad film by Clint Eastwood just like Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby. They're all good, though. Shouldn't miss it if you don't mind a sad ending.
- DirectorWalter KlenhardStarsAlly SheedyWilliam R. MosesLucinda WeistA couple starts to live in strange and scary situations when they move to an old house in a seaside town.I was bored...and my rule is to watch the whole thing once I start...unless it's really bad. Reminds me of Death of a Ghost Hunter (2007).
- DirectorOren PeliStarsKatie FeatherstonMicah SloatMark FredrichsAfter moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.I was waiting for the scary moment the whole time.
- DirectorOlatunde OsunsanmiStarsMilla JovovichElias KoteasWill PattonA thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover up.One moment you see Milla and the next another lady who are both playing the same person. The difference in their appearence makes it hard to get into the film.
- DirectorMarc WebbStarsZooey DeschanelJoseph Gordon-LevittGeoffrey ArendAfter being dumped by the girl he believes to be his soulmate, hopeless romantic Tom Hansen reflects on their relationship to try and figure out where things went wrong and how he can win her back.A film from the guy's point of view.

- DirectorNeill BlomkampStarsSharlto CopleyDavid JamesJason CopeIn a future Earth in which aliens are isolated in a remote ghetto, a government agent finds himself banished there.A different take on when aliens 'invade' our planet. But its believeable on the fact that's what the government will probably do if they get their hands on a bunch of aliens who can't fight back.
- DirectorLasse HallströmStarsRichard GereJoan AllenCary-Hiroyuki TagawaProfessor Wilson discovers a lost Akita puppy on his way home.

- DirectorJonathan DarbyStarsJessica LangeGwyneth PaltrowJohnathon SchaechNewlyweds move to the family thoroughbred horse ranch, where the husband's obsessive mother resolves to get rid of her new daughter-in-law.Painful film. Forgive her, she was young.
- DirectorTeddy ChanStarsXueqi WangTony Ka Fai LeungJun HuIn 1905, revolutionist Sun Yat-Sen visits Hong Kong to discuss plans with Tongmenghui members to overthrow the Qing dynasty. But when they find out that assassins have been sent to kill him, they assemble a group of protectors to prevent any attacks.A sad film. It's strange when they marketed the film, they tell you everyone is going to die. The important part is WHO.
- DirectorJingle MaWei DongStarsWei ZhaoRongguang YuJaycee Cho-Ming ChanThe epic story of the Chinese girl-warrior, Mulan, who fights to defend her father.Film is good...just wish they found a female lead that was more masculine...no way she could be walking around a camp and not be discovered if she looked as pretty as that. That pisses me off sometimes.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSam WorthingtonZoe SaldanaSigourney WeaverA paraplegic Marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home.Missed out on the 3D version. What's with the military commander hell bent on destroying everything?
- DirectorJeong-hyang LeeStarsYoo Seung-hoEul-boon KimHyo-hee DongThis is the story of a 7-year-old boy, Sang-woo, born and raised in the big city, and his mute grandmother, who has spent her whole life in a small rural village.

- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsRachel WeiszMark WahlbergSaoirse RonanCenters on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family - and her killer - from purgatory. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.Of the films I saw this year this stands at number one for artistic creativity. They say that the soul cannot move on if someone they care about cannot let go. Was it the murderer, or was it the family?
- DirectorMichael SpierigPeter SpierigStarsEthan HawkeWillem DafoeSam NeillIn the year 2019, a plague has transformed almost every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.This is stupid. Why don't they just BREED humans? But some other parts were interesting. I like Dafoe.
- DirectorLouis LeterrierStarsSam WorthingtonLiam NeesonRalph FiennesPerseus, a demigod and the son of Zeus, battles the minions of Hades and the Underworld in order to stop them from conquering Olympus and Earth.Saw the original. This version is better.
- DirectorPatrick AlessandrinStarsCyril RaffaelliDavid BellePhilippe TorretonDamien and Leito return to District 13 on a mission to bring peace to the troubled sector that is controlled by five different gang bosses, before the city's secret services take drastic measures to solve the problem.Actually quite a decent French action film. I just pretended they were speaking strange English.
- DirectorScott StewartStarsPaul BettanyDennis QuaidCharles S. DuttonWhen a group of strangers at a dusty roadside diner come under attack by demonic forces, their only chance for survival lies with an archangel named Michael, who informs a pregnant waitress that her unborn child is humanity's last hope.I dig Paul Bettany but the film was lousy and typical. Is there no other place on earth but a DINER? I guess production wise its cheaper. Extra points are for Bettany and those wings.
