He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)

A stellar cast but the plot is like a dying fish flip flopping around. The characters have little or no depth and everything seemed forced. They tried very hard to copy “Love Actually”, but failed miserably. Don’t watch it unless you want to catch a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson’s breasts bouncing in almost all her scenes.

Let It Be (1970)

This documentary should hold a special place in the hearts of Beatles fans. The most lovable band of all time is filmed  during their jamming sessions and rehearsals for what was to be their last album, “Let it Be,” and their last performance on the Apple studios rooftop. Although most of the conflict that occurred between the four lads (eventually leading to the break-up) is absent due to certain footages being controversial, this documentary shows that they were all about the music. Most of the documentary is just the four of them doing what they loved most, making music.

 

Avatar (2009)

If you love CGI, this is the movie for you. I watched it in 3D and it looks amazing. One point of contention though, I feel that the 3D distract the audience from the movie itself. It is as though James Cameron took an average script and covered it up with glitz and glamour and sold it as a blockbuster. Watch it for the effects.

Nine Miles Down (2009)

Very cerebral. Kind of reminds me of “The Shining”, but with a way more hotter main character play by Kate Nauta. The plot, although average, had me guessing till the very end. Watch it.

An Education (2009)

Set in 1960s England, Jenny is seduced by luxury and economic freedom. This tempts even the devil himself, for the devil is the admiration for longing, and seeing that longing beautify itself as it comes true only corrupts initial goals set by the individual; which is Amy. Admiration and longing is her motivation to do well in school. This movie gives these two eternal cinematic themes and makes them pure. An Education is learned, and it is more than worth it.
