Shaun of the Dead
This Edgar Wright-directed "zombie romantic comedy" has something for everyone, even someone who doesn't do horror or zombie movies. But don't count those elements out; they're present in spades!
State of Play
Not sure what to anticipate after hearing so much positive buzz about State of Play, I was satisfied with the movie's delivery of an entertaining story with a few pleasant surprises along the way. A definite watch if you enjoy this genre and want to see decent acting and a sadly (mostly) believable story.
The Inside Man
This stereotypical heist thriller is too predictably blasé and contains some rather significant plot holes.
Seabiscuit

Sunset Boulevard
Worth the watch, especially if you love film.
Grease: Rockin’ Rydell Edition

If you love the movie and don't already own it (which is unlikely at this point!), or if you have to have the new special features, this is a thorough collector's edition. What can be said about Grease that hasn't already been repeated, adnauseam? T...[Read More]
Penelope
Another romantic comedy that follows a fully predictable plot. Given the normally more independent tastes of its stars, I was surprised at how mainstream the movie really was. If you love this genre, you'll probably enjoy the movie. Otherwise....
