    I like to see what movies are rated on rottentomatoes.com and imdb.com to get an idea of what a wide variety of people think.

    I've seen a few of those and really enjoyed Micahel Clayton and Gone Baby Gone, but both were a little darker.

    3:10 is western remake, it's good but i wouldn't say amazing.

    No Country for Old Men is by the Coen bros. and so is dark comedy, but supposed to be great, but also very violent.

    Eastern Promises is slower and is supposed to have a long naked man fight scene if that turns you off.

    Elizabeth is a showcase piece for Cate Blanchett and a lot of costumes and makeup if that's your thing.

    The Kingdom is less artsy.

    In the Valley of Elah has got mixed reviews for sure.

    No thoughts on Shake Hands or We Own the Night.

    Some theaters are starting to screen Juno which is supposed to be fantastic. I also am interested in the movie Lars and the Real Girl (and I am most looking forward to Atonement, The Kite Runner, and There Will Be Blood when they come out)

    Eastern Promises, Michael Clayton, In the Valley of Elah, and 3:10 to Yuma are all among the year's best films, and should grab some Oscar nominations. I give them all 4 stars.

    Gone Baby Gone is also good. I give that 3-and-a-half.

    No Country For Old Men hasn't released yet, but inside word says it's the film to beat for Best Picture.

    'Gone Baby Gone'

    '3:10 To Yuma'

    'We Own The Night'

    'Michael Clayton'

    'Eastern Promises'

    'Elizabeth - The Golden Age'

    'The Kingdom'

    Those movies I just mentioned are really top-notch movies. They will blow you away. Though most of them are thriller with a lot of violence, they really are amazing. Some of those will fall in the Oscar nonminating category.

    BTW....In Eastern Promises, be careful when you watch it. There is a disturbing tub scene. All in all, I really like 3:10 and We Own the Night.

    Good Luck!

    OH...BTW...stephen k said that critics called We Own The Night bad. It all depends on you. I liked it because it was thrilling, it had great music, a great sex scene, and an amazing car chase scene. It was similar to the Departed. If you like gangs and drugs, you will enjoy it.

    Out of all those movies, I've only seen Gone Baby Gone. The story had many twists and turns and the ending was really good (not good in the happy way, but good as in well thought out).

    I think this movie would be worth while to watch.

    definite. Visually surprising. splendidly colorful and perfect CGI. I enjoyed it. the tale is previous, and the communicate is tacky in spots, yet nevertheless the tale strikes alongside ok and is not any longer boring. U won't remorseful approximately seeing it.
