My Top Picks

  1. Star Trek
    Wow. This wasn't really high on my "want to see" list but I loved it.

  2. Up!
    Pixar seem to have outdone themselves again - and I have a soft spot for scouting based movies.

  3. Terminator Salvation
    Very Gritty.

  4. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
    Not as good as I was hoping for - but my expectations were way too high.  I think I need to watch it a few more times yet before I make up my mind where it sits in the list.

  5. Knowing
    There were a couple of good "shock" surprises in this film and the ending wasn't exactly predictable - plus, it wasn't a remake.  

Notable Mentions ("Surprise"  Films)

  1. District 9
    It didn't look that interesting but the film was "layered".

  2. Couples Retreat
    I really wasn't expecting much from this chick flick but it turned out to be quite funny.

The Biggest Disappointments

  1. 2012
    Normally I like popcorn flicks and I can safely check my brain at the door.  2012 really pushed its luck though - particularly taking off from a disintegrating runway three times.
