Seen any good movies lately?

This is a followup to my July 17th post of "mini-movie reviews."

Since then I've seen,

The Simpsons' Movie: Lots of laughs, some better backgrounds, but it needed more Burns and Smithers. President Schwartzeneger was great. For extra credit, I also went to the temporary Kwik-e-mart in Mountain View and had a Squishee.

The Bourne Ultimatum: Totally rocked. The action mostly felt real, and the pacing was very good. The list of stunt performers was 3 screens long...most I've ever seen. I don't think they should make any more because the character's unique back story has run its arc.

Sunshine: This is an interesting sci fi movie with Cillian Murphy and Chris Evans that is not getting as much attention as it deserves. The visuals are great. The premise is compelling. The ship environment is unique and very believable. The characters have a lot of potential. That said, it could have been a great movie, but the last quarter didn't hold up as well as the first 3/4ths. Still, very worth seeing on a big screen to soak in the visuals.

Next on the list: Stardust, and the kids will probably want me to take them to Rush Hour 3.

Anything anybody else thinks is a must-see in the theaters soon?
