V for Vendetta (2005)
As with the first Matrix, the Wachowski Brothers have penned an impressively deep and stylistic action flick. Hire it and remember remember this 5th of November.
Children of Men (2006)
- A very human and moving future world, gritty and down–to–earth, and brilliantly captured with impressively elaborate and chaotic single–shot sequences.
28 Weeks Later (2007)
With a bigger budget comes a film that looks great and has moments of excellence, but overall fails to substantively overcome the greatness of the first.
28 Days Later (2003)- While not fresh on paper, this frenetic tale of a zombie–infested Britain can only be commended for its impressive scenes of abandoned and post–apocalyptic London streets.
Cloverfield (2008)- The impressive visual effects and relentless first–person viewpoint fail to let go from the start, even if the hand–held camerawork is a bit much at times. The mysterious post 9/11 marketing strategy for Cloverfield was pure genius.
District 9 (2009)- The apartheid message in the film is just a little too obvious to be deeply meaningful, but the visual effects are unique and spectacular, and the acting keeps the alternate–reality grounded and believable.

Mary and Max (2008)- A touching tale of the strange friendship between young girl and Asperger's middle–aged man delves into a number of real–world issues with a sweet naievity that can only bring a smile to your face.
Paradise Now (2005)- An ambitious and all–too–real portrayal of life on the West Bank. ‘Paradise Now’ is an unexpected and underrated gem that will linger in the back of your mind for weeks.
Waltz With Bashir (Vals Im Bashir) (2008)
An intense animated picture exploring PTSD, memories of wartime events, and the long–lasting effects of war. The final moments of this waltz will leave you speechless.- DVD
$19.95$14.95 
This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)- A brilliant up–close look at the censorship of film and media, including interviews with some of our time's most controversial film–makers.
