Was entertaining but i think the audio book was better. - DirectorRidley ScottStarsNoomi RapaceLogan Marshall-GreenMichael FassbenderFollowing clues to the origin of mankind, a team finds a structure on a distant moon, but they soon realize they are not alone.Ridley Scott, director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner," returns to the genre he helped define. The trailer was just released and sure looks super amazing. Watched and enjoyed the movie. Slightly disappointed with the storyline and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. The acting was fantastic, especially David Fassbender.

- DirectorCarl RinschStarsKeanu ReevesHiroyuki SanadaKô ShibasakiA band of samurai sets out to avenge the death and dishonor of their master at the hands of a ruthless shogun.Samuria movie with some of my favorite actors!

Disappointing movie but some cool action scenes. - DirectorOlivier MegatonStarsLiam NeesonFamke JanssenMaggie GraceIn Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter.Love the first movie but this second movie was disappointing and didnt live up to the first movie. Dropped from 5 to 16

The action scenes were cool but the acting was woody.
Rent it. drop from 8 to 17 - DirectorLen WisemanStarsColin FarrellBokeem WoodbineBryan CranstonA factory worker, Douglas Quaid, begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall - a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led - goes wrong and he finds himself on the run.Mr. Colins is the remake dude! Sucked!
- DirectorJoe CarnahanStarsLiam NeesonDermot MulroneyFrank GrilloAfter their plane crashes in Alaska, six oil workers are led by a skilled huntsman to survival, but a pack of merciless wolves haunts their every step.I would rent this movie but not watch in a cinema. Its good but its hard to care about the other characters in this movie.
Drops from 15 to 21 - DirectorPeter BergStarsAlexander SkarsgårdBrooklyn DeckerLiam NeesonA fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.You sunk my battleship!!! Bad movie!
- DirectorSteven SoderberghStarsGina CaranoEwan McGregorMichael FassbenderA black ops super soldier seeks payback after she is betrayed and set up during a mission.Release Date: January 20, 2012
Action pack femme fatale!!!
watched it last week on the 3rd feb and was a bit disappointed with the simple storyline and on par performances from A-list actors. The fight scenes were brutal and done very well but I would rent this movie for a weekend.
(was position 8) - DirectorAndrew StantonStarsTaylor KitschLynn CollinsWillem DafoeTransported to Barsoom, a Civil War vet discovers a barren planet seemingly inhabited by 12-foot tall barbarians. Finding himself prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter Woola and a princess in desperate need of a savior.This classic sci-fi tale looks amazing! The trailer has this epic feel! Sadly the story here and the new faces didnt win hearts and minds. Great effects but poor storyline. Drop from 19 to 24
- DirectorAnthony HemingwayStarsCuba Gooding Jr.Gerald McRaneyDavid OyelowoA crew of African American pilots in the Tuskegee training program, having faced segregation while kept mostly on the ground during World War II, are called into duty under the guidance of Col. A.J. Bullard.Nice trailer.
Fighter scenes were good but I can see why this movied failed at the box office. The main stars dont have that much screen time. Its not worth seeing. drop from 18 to 25
