Couples Retreat
Grade: C (Rent it)
Review: Forgettable, but it had its funny moments. Movie tackles important issues with a simple message: there is a reason why couples are (end up) together; staying true to ourselves is the only way to maintain the relationship. However when this message comes from Vince Vaughn (to quote the movie - the ass) you cannot take it seriously.

Halloween II (2009)
Halloween II
Grade: D+ (Skip it)
Review: Rob Zombie failed in this sequel to follow his successful and original take of Halloween remake. Halloween II is a boring unoriginal slasher with misplaced Hitchcockian movie devices. Unfortunately Rob Zombie killed Michael Myers.

The Fourth Kind (2009)
The Fourth Kind
Grade: D (Skip it)
Review: Transparently fake. Truly awful movie. There should be a law against deceptive marketing campaigns.

The Blind Side (2009)
The Blind Side
Grade: C+ (Rent it)
Review: Based on a true story, but movie doesn't seem as real. It attempts to deal with similar social issues as Precious but it is harder to connect with average person when the main character is one in a million athletic talent. It is worth watching.

Grade: B- (Watch it)
Review: Braveheart meets smurfs. This movie probably has/will advance 3D technology of video making; however the story is shallow, predictable, and offensive.

Love Happens (2009)
Love Happens
Grade: D+ (Skip it)
Review: This is an odd attempt to combine a romantic comedy with a tearjerker; unfortunately it delivers neither.

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.
