Arthur C. Clarke could not have written a more cinematic novel. (Witness the many scenes/lines used verbatim.)

Up (in 3D)
It soars! It's uplifting! Only a few downer moments! (Trust me, there were far worse puns than this.)

Doctor Who: Season 3
What I will miss about William Hartnell playing the Doctor is his unflappable nature in the face of trouble. Are they all like that, and did he start it?

Run Fatboy Run
Pegg does much better in over-the-top spoofs. Too much narrative in this one.

MASH: Season 10
Always so weird to see guest stars on MASH. There's Joe Pantoliano, looking about 12 years old.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 6
Hands down best scene is Giles laughing hysterically at the Season 6 machinations in the last episode. Good they can make fun of themselves.

24: Season 7
They sure took their sweet time explaining Jack's motives. I wish it hadn't taken the American people to pressure them into doing it.

Die Hard
Could there be a more stereotypical action film? And by that I mean, so full of stereotypes?

Star Trek
Too many references to old action films (Matrix, Star Wars, Jurassic Park). Consequence: not as unique as it should have been.

Wendy and Lucy
Beware animal lovers, this film will raise your anxiety level. Try to remember it's not really the point.
