What's with everyone and Harry Potter? The last movie was horrid. Harry needs to quit being such a baby about everything and do work. I dont understand a hero who is too afraid to save a friend.

I agree, it was awful. They missed out so much from the book, it was excruciatingly inaccurate.

Inglourious Basterds was pretty amazing. Totally unexpected that one. Top notch acting compared with edge-of-seat suspense, hilarious dialogues and a fun (not masterful) plot.

Still to see: Benjamin Button (still), district 9, and the new flick with Sam Rockwell, what's it called? "Moon"?

Good ones I recall this year:

Wolverine -- sorry, but I liked this one quite a bit. And, it actually had a half decent plot twist.
Star Trek -- pretty good. Go Sylar.
Public Enemies -- pretty darned good, too.
Salvation -- meh, it was okay.
Inglorious Basterds -- Mediocre. Acting was okay, but no actor had more than 10 minutes of screen time, really. Except for a totally crappy plot twist at the end and a half decent bar scene, if you saw the previews you saw all of the movie you need to see to enjoy it. And Pitt's decent monologues didn't make up for him taking the job of masquerading as an Italian and making an utter mockery of it. Maybe that was Tarantino's fault. Tarantino's singular problem is that he's not nearly as admirable as he thinks he is, and his movies (with the exception of Pulp Fiction) are not nearly as good as he thinks they are.

Good
-----
Wolverine - Interesting plot, nice actions all around. I watched this movie twice.
Angels and Demons - I like Tom Hanks movie. Nice twist at the end.

Okay
----
Drag me to Hell - Not bad, it still use the shock factor which I admit did make me jump.
Harry Potter 6 - Nice dark theme this time, though I'm still aghast at the way Dumbledore died. So lame...
District 9 - It was nice up until the main actor decided to become a Rambo.
The Knowing - Not bad, but what's the point of the disaster lists if in the end everyone dies?
The Uninvited - An okay korean horror remake, nice twist at the end.

Bad
---
Transformer 2 - All I see is pewpewpew kaboomkaboomkaboom. Bad plot all around. I've still have a hard time telling which robot is which one just like the 1st movie.
GI Joe - Unknown actors, deviate too much from comic. Duke +Baroness....lulwut?
Terminator - It's just not the same without Arnold in it. And the plot reminds me so much of the Matrix, except this time the hero lives!
Star Trek - I don't like the alternate plotline story. Which mean the previous Star Trek movies that I've watched was pretty much mute.

Brad Pitt was funny as hell in Inglorious Basterds, the accent alone made me want to laugh every time he talked. And the "Bear Jew"? halarious! Hitler was furious about the name Bear Jew.
