The Invasion (Oliver Hirschbiegel)
A stylish thriller that isn't particularly horrific or thrilling, but nonetheless thought provoking. Everything is just fine.

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (Scott Glosserman)

Hostel: Part II (Eli Roth)
Set-up by controversy as despicable, gritty and gory filmmaking, Eli Roth's sequel to his successful predecessor stands as a tame disappointment which might do well on its short-lived hype but won't make it far on word-of-mouth.

Knocked Up (Judd Apatow)
Knocked Up is not only one of the most innocently raunchy and hilarious films of the decade, but one of the smartest, sharpest, and meaningful. It's a contender for film of the year, and don't take that lightly.
