Disturbia
Towards the end, Disturbia does unravel into something not nearly as smart but that doesn’t stop the first two acts from being a slick little observation on the multiple levels of reality that surround us today.

Days of Glory
Like most every great war movie, it combines intense action with human drama. There’s also several overtly preachy scenes that accomplish little to further the story but they underline the already clear message.
District B13
There’s something refreshing about an action film that actually gives a damn about more than explosions.
The Dukes of Hazzard
Sure, it’s simple but for a longtime Dukes of Hazzard fan, it’s a funny and nostalgic dose of Southern comfort.

Dust to Glory
Brown lays the sentimentality on so much that it almost brings the whole production down. Luckily there’s lots of tremendous shots and a solid story to keep it going.
Downfall
While he doesn’t necessarily sympathize with Hitler and his cronies, Oliver Hirschbiegel does make the fuehrer seem almost human with Downfall.
Director’s Cut
At times cute, at times very smart and at times a little off, Director’s Cut is a bumpy but often worthwhile ride.
The Day After Tomorrow
It’s the end of the world and it looks just fine.

Die Hard
Marks the peak of the 1980’s action boom that made mega-stars out of the likes of Ah-nuld, Stallone and Van Damme.
Decline of the American Empire
Arcand’s message might not be the happy, happy, joy, joy we have come to expect from our movies but he does shed some truth, no matter how hard it might be to digest.
