Black Ransom: 8/10
A Hong Kong Film, Starring Simon Yam, Michael Miu, Fala Chen...
For those who prefer triads-based action packed.
Best movies of 2009:
Inglorious Basterds (It is Tarantino...what can I say!!)
The Hurt Locker (It is not about war, it is about soldiers...it is great!!)
Up in the air (I cannot resume this movie...you have to watch it!!)
saw Surrogates last week
6/10 - interesting idea, but too short to make it a great film, and Bruce willis's wig (say no more 
)
"Wrong turn 2"
if you mix radioactive wasteland, cannibal mutants and a reality show gone wrong then you've got the idea. my rating: 7.5 / 10 it's got funny bits 
movies i saw on the planes:
district 9 - 8/10. it's suprisingly good.
an education - 8/10. alfred modina is awesome in this.
surrogates - 5/10. it had so much potential. thought the meta bruce willis was funny. i don't think funny is what they were going for.
pour elle - 8.5/10. wow. this was better than i expected.
law abiding citizen - 4/10. wow, this was worse than i expected.
hey V, you had a really long trip eh 
agree, district 9 was quite good. all of the others haven't seen them yet.

Reaaaally good! and it was a "cheap" one! just to show that it is possible to do good movies with less than 500 million dollars!!
Sin Nombre 2009,…a very bleak, depressing and almost ‘too real to be real’ film about gang life and illegal central American migrants to the States….and then just when you hoped that there would be a happy ending after all the suffering (theirs and yours)—well, it didn’t happen. 
. Acting is really good and cinematography is excellent….
"das leben der anderen" (the life of others) 9.5 / 10
really great movie, one of the best i've seen lately.
plot from imdb:
"In 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police, conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives."
liked that film too...
I finally saw Avatar..okay 7.39/10....a bit too kitschy and I thought the "noble savage-topic" was completed in the 80s
