bookofeliThere has not been a shortage of post-apocalyptic media, including films, recently. The Book of Eli, therefore, has the difficult task of standing out. The main distinguishing feature of the movie is the overtly religious element; and while it does provide an interesting element in the film, it seems to fall slightly short of wowing both the thrill-seeking, and more thoughtful audiences.

sherlockholmesGuy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes is one of those wildly entertaining, if not overly substantial winter movies. The great thing about it is that one doesn’t have to classify it as a guilty pleasure, and try to pretend they didn’t like it in mixed company – it is written, acted, and directed intelligently enough that I’m not ashamed to throw my support behind it.

avatarAvatar is a film whose technical breakthroughs are undeniable. The first note in my notebook says “looks awesome”, and the rest of the movie certainly did not hamper that initial reaction. When you see this film, you'll see where the absurd amount of money James Cameron stuck into this project went. The visuals in this film would be fabulous without the added effect of 3D, but with it, I was taken aback by some of the breathtaking scenes on display. I am not of the point of view, however, that technical breakthroughs are to be handed out Oscars. Those are meant to be reserved for imagination, storytelling, visual direction, and acting. Don't get me wrong, this film is not devoid of these in the least. It possesses all in the amounts that a blockbuster such as this should. It would simply be a shame if this film became decreed the greatest film of all time.
