The Covenant (2006,  PG-13)
The Covenant 3.0 Stars
Once you can get over the fact that it's a teen movie (silly plot, and loads of eye candy), it's actually not that bad for its intended audience.

American Gangster 4.0 Stars
Strong performances by Washington and Crowe make this movie engrossing and richly satisfying to watch.

Not bad for an Australian movie, but that said, it isn't very good.

Dark examination of chance and fate covers familiar ground, but Woody Allen responds to it with a fresh unexpected twist. Good performances all round. Very good movie.

The Prestige (2006,  PG-13)
The Prestige 5.0 Stars
My favourite movie to date hands down. Watched it countless times. Bale's best performance thus far. Wonderfully cast, except Scarlett, who looks out of place with her Malibu Barbie looks. Great movie by Chris Nolan. Can we expect anything less? A masterpiece.

The Illusionist (2006,  PG-13)
The Illusionist 3.5 Stars
First romantic role by Edward Norton. Even though it was set in Austria, it was filmed in Prague. Prague was beautiful though, so I'll let that slide. 'The Prestige' was way better.

A Good Year (2006,  PG-13)
A Good Year 3.5 Stars
A story of a man who revisits his past, only to find the lessons he learnt haven't been forgotten, just buried. The movie has its moments, with its lush, beautiful scenery. Sweet, touching and lovely.

Gone Baby Gone (2007,  R)
Gone Baby Gone 4.0 Stars
Ben Affleck's intense directorial debut is a study of human nature and the real struggle with conscience. Gutsy performances by Amy Ryan and Casey Affleck add layers to the raw authenticity of the screenplay. A riveting movie.

Casino Royale 4.5 Stars
A movie about how Bond became Bond. Daniel Craig is the best James Bond in my opinion. Loved Eva Green as Vesper Lynd. Not your typical beautiful bimbo Bond girl.

Boring, boring, boring. Couldn't wait to leave the cinema. Why did Olivier Martinez sink so low? An added star just for the scenery of Bucharest.

Liked the plot. However, don't you think if she was the devil's child, she would inflict more terror than just making doors creak? Ending seems to pave the way for a sequel.
