Ninja Assassin (2009)

Ninja Assassin
Grade: C+ (Rent it)
Review: A celebration of brutality. Some cool fighting scenes but uncompelling characters and story.

The Box (2009)

The Box
Grade: B- (Watch it)
Review: Very nicely done thriller. I was intrigued and excited by the story line from the first and through the last minute of the movie - rare for any recently produced movie.

Antichrist (2009)

Antichrist
Grade: F (Skip it)
Review: Awful, pretentious, repulsive. An hour and a half of boring dialog and self-indulging psycho babel, intermingled with two ugly people having sex. How do you take a story about grieving parents and make this abomination is a puzzle. If not the worst of all time then definitely close second. WOW that was truly awful and disturbing.
PS: Compared to this even "Gigli" and "Lost in Translation" appear like masterpieces.
