 District 9 [trailer]- Usually films about alien visitors involve the attack of the Earth. From what we do know, District 9 is the complete opposite situation. It is difficult to understand what the real story will end up being. Since this film is based on another film, the general plot isn’t really a secret. Hopefully the appeal of the film isn’t based in its mystery like Cloverfield. The Movie Bandits recommend that you rent District 9.

 Sherlock Holmes [trailer]-This film is the slightly more serious adaption of the Arthur Conan Doyle character. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law appear to make a great on screen duo which will be integral in the success of this movie. It should also be mentioned that most of Downey’s past movie have been really entertaining. The Movie Bandits recommend that you see Sherlock Holmes in Theaters.
Terminator Salvation - The fourth installment of the Terminator franchise can really be looked at from two perspectives. As a movie on its own, Terminator Salvation is the best guy movie, 80s action flick that has been released in a long time. The special effects are stunning, and when there is action it keeps you glued to the screen. As continuation of the series Terminator Salvation is horrible. The choices made to resolve certain plot issues and create new ones will have long time fans face-palming for two hours. If you are looking for a plot twist or engaging story, you wont find it. Christian Bale’s performance can be described only as flat. Early news of Helena Bonham Carter’s performance was over hyped as her screen time is less that 30 minutes. If there is a gem in this film it is Anton Yelchin who plays the role of Kyle Reese. This film is good for its eye candy, but you will often find yourself not caring about most of the characters, and that really detaches you from the experience. Bottom line - this film is ok, but not great. The Movie Bandits recommend that you rent Terminator Salvation.
