He’s Just Not That Into you (2009)

Genre fans might pass up this movie as another boring, cliche flick woth nothing but the Hollywood mode of “true love.” But big names like Scarlett Johansson, Jennif Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly and Ben Affleck are sure to pull viewers into the cinema.
The movie is based on Greg Behrendt’s book by the same title. The premise is to educate women that men are dishonestjerks who seek to take advantage of them or break their hearts. Somehow, Behrendt managed to not only make a killing with his mind-numbing book, but also to capitalize on it by bringing it to the big screen to challenge the male viewer’s patience. Women, of course, love it.

The Visitor (2008)

The movie is about harmony.

The group teaches him the secret of music and how to live in harmony with others: something lost in a post-September 11 America.
The movie tells a truth: the world is a nice place if you find the harmony between yourself and the outside world.

Changeling (2008)

The movie industry always has a downturn after the Oscars are unveiled in February, and recommendations for April are tough. Still, Angelina Jolie shines in Changeling.

Body of Lies (2008)

Ridley Scott rarely misses when he is directing war scenes, and Body of Lies is another success. This time, the theme is the Middle East and terrorism.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

Do you know exactly what you do and do not want in life? Even if your answer is “yes,” Woody Allen would say there is always a time when you won’t in this movie, when time is as short as the two American girls’ summer holiday in romantic Barcelona.
