Star Trek. More reviews here. Succeeds in adding new faces to the original characters and how each becomes connected to the other. Movie gives fans another angle at appreciating this franchise. Everyone can take a deep breath. This is a great movie (violence aside). See director J.J. Abrams' appearance at Colbert Report on May 4, 2009.
Slumdog Millionaire. See Dev Patel as guest on The Daily Show.

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
Up. While the house may be seen as a "symbolic burden" of things such as dreams that may end in a mortgage crisis, it also uplifts, helps and provides the love the old man needs in his adventures. In the end he says, "It's only a house" as he fulfills his dream, let's it go and ends up befriending the boy who may not know how to put up a tent but knows how to tie himself up in balloons and tap into his inner strength. From the very beginning, one wonders why the old man didn't use the balloons to lift up his house while his wife was alive.
