Transformers
Director Michael Bay was perhaps the best choice for this special effects extravaganza as Transformers franchise gets updated for our times. The movie showcases exactly what the fans want: lots of robots, and big explosions. Unfortunately there are some bad attempts at human character developments, but they can be mostly tolerated as the action sequences deliver and exceed your expectations. This movie is best enjoyed in high-definition.

All-star cast includes Alan Rickman, Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter.

Knocked Up
Judd Apatow’s The 40 Year-old Virgin was a success that not too many people could have predicted. Proving to everyone that he is not an one-hit wonder, he returned this year with Knocked Up. Starring Seth Rogan and Grey’s Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl, this romantic comedy proved the odd-couple shtick can work in a smart movie without resorting to gross-out gags. Not that the movie is light on dirty scenes…

The Bourne Ultimatum
The last movie in the Bourne trilogy delivers everything from incredible action sequences, superb car chases and engrossing storyline. Most action movies aren’t able to deliver all that in a single movie and the director Paul Greengrass superbly manages it. Jason Bourne’s final trip back home is easily the best in the franchise. Here’s to hoping that this fantastic filmmaking won’t get lost in his next project.
