Holiday: Chic flick, but very good. I enjoyed it. Rent/possible buy.

Casino Royale: Loved it, edgier Bond played the part well. Rent/possible buy.

Flushed away: Really enjoyed this too, great animation, good story. Rent/possible buy.

Pursuit of Happyness: Trailers pretty much tell the story, enjoyable--touching story. Rent/possible buy.

    I'll add some:

    Happy Feet: Kids movie, but very watchable for all ages. Some but not much adult humor. Rent for adults, very buyable for families.

    Children of Men: Dark, depressing movie. Plot is interesting but not well explained, there are a few memorable parts. All in all, not a fun, easy watcher by any means. End leaves something to be desired as well. Wasn't too happy with spending 2 hours on this one.

    Babel: Already reviewed here, I think. Too many story lines that didn't really get me happy, sad, etc. Like Traffic and Crash (many plots tied together), but without a strong central theme. Didn't like it too much, but worth watching I guess. 50-50 on rental, wouldn't buy (no rewatchability).

    Blood Diamond: Great action. Great acting. Great plot. Must see, strong buy option.

    What else have I seen recently. . .
