Surrogates
A film that raises many interesting ideas but follows through on few of them.

Extract
A classic Judge film: somewhat uneven but filled with interesting, albeit clueless, characters and funny set-ups.
Slightly Used
Although sometimes a little too cartoonish, the cast is an enjoyable lot with plenty going on to drive the film forward.

Santa Buddies
Santa Buddies is the equivalent of a flaming bag of doggie dung on your doorstep: it’s impossible to explain what you did to deserve it and you want it gone and forgotten as soon as possible.

Kobe Doin’ Work
Despite some great game action and an in-depth narration from Bryant himself, the documentary falls into the trap of glitz and glamor distracting from the subject matter it’s intending to celebrate.
Up
Filled with wonderment and intrigue, it tells a timeless tale of adventure and aging that touches on almost every emotion.
Command Performance
An exercise in tedium and yearning for the good, old days where straight-up action films were respected by the masses.
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
Featuring beautiful nature animation and possessing a passable plot, if nothing else, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure opens up a world beyond the Never Land everyone seemingly knows.
Adventureland
Adventureland finds much of its comedy in its often brutal honesty.
Hannah Montana the Movie
The film is sweet and innocent, just as one might expect. While not horrible, I can’t heap praise on it either.
