Primer (2004): An over–rated arthouse film that tries just a little too hard to be too confusing. Great premise and intrigue, but fails to take you anywhere other than in circles.
Island, The (2005): Possibly the smartest Bay film around, the Island is a thrilling futuristic story with plenty of things to like about it: from the intrigue, to the irony, to the suspense and action.
Ultraviolet (2006): Ultraviolet is nowhere near as great as older brother equilibrium, but it does have a unique visual style and some CGI scenes that push the boundaries of live–action/CGI/anime.
Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic (2008): A decent animated version of the classic comic. The animations aren't great, but that just means that the original look is preserved. Weakest point is easily the voice acting.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009): For the origins story of one of my favourite Marvel characters, I was expecting far more – Hugh is still here, but it's all just too predictable and unnecessary to care about.
Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within (2001): Incredible CGI in all respects other than facial animations, Final Fantasy is only a decent sci fi tale, but a landmark graphical achievement.
Lara Croft - Tomb Raider (2001): Silly and over the top, there is little to like about this wanna–be Indiana Jones flick other than some decent effects and Angelina.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010): Gyllenhaal is the charming rogue of a prince based on the videogame of the same name (but providing far more background and twists than were necessary for the game), with plenty of CGI, and a romantic side–story.
Box, The (2009): Simply told, and will definitely give you some chills, but with a premise that fails to keep up for the entirety of the film. This would have been a stunning supernatural tale to a 1970s audience (which is when the film is set).
Da Ali G Show (TV Series) (Ali G, Innit; Ali G, Aiii; Ali G in da USAiii) (2000-2004): A hilarious TV series that was unlike anything else at the time: fresh (aaii), funny (aaiii), and topical (respect man).; DVD $19.95, $19.95
