The Avengers 2012
Joss Whedon hit absolutely all the right notes. The Avengers is up there with the The Dark Knight at the pinnacle of comic book adaptations.

Still speechless. Will try to collect right words to describe feeling after watching one or two more times.

Prometheus 2012

A story of redemption, forgiveness, and the competitive soul, Warrior is the modern-day Rocky.

Martha Marcy May Marlene 2011

The Woman in Black 2012
Classic haunted house flick. Nothing new or groundbreaking but it boasts a perfectly creepy atmosphere with a solid performance from Radcliffe. Definitely worth checking out for horror fans.
