Let's see. In the last few weeks I've seen "District 9". For all the hype I would give it a 7. It's more of a Docu-Drama in my eyes, and the story line is a bit shaky at times. "Transformers 2" was better than I expected, and in my eyes it's a worthy sequel to the original. IMHO, it's worth a 9! The best of the new ones for me was "The Taking of Pelham 123"! I think it was better than the original, and I'm partial to that one as my late Father in Law was in the first one. Not as an actor, although he was paid for being in it as an extra. He was the Superintendent of the I.R.T. Subway System, in NYC at the time, and provided Technical Support and co-ordination for all the scenes shot below ground! He was paid rather well for his services! I rate the new one a 9+!
I've also seen a few for the first time that are a little older that I feel are worth mentioning. "Phoebe in Wonderland" was excellent! Elle Fanning was wonderful as Phoebe. "The Bucket List". Now how can you go wrong with a movie with both Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman staring in it? The most enjoyable of these older movies was The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian", a very worthy sequel to "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". Highly recommended! "The Ultimate Gift" is another that will tear your heart out. It's a shame that the video editing looked like it was done by the "Thumbs", in the Spy Kids series! I did better video editing when I was 10, and had to work the old fashioned way, splicing film! You will absolutely need a box of Kleenex for that one. Abigail Breslin was great in it!
