But when they finally cross paths with Kaal and his army, neither of them is prepared for what lies ahead.

Verdict - More a children's story than a space action film. The film doesn't do so bad, but the story line isn't all that great. But for those interested in interstellar battles, I would say go for it.

Big Sur
Jack Kerouac, coming off the recent success of On the Road, is unable to cope with a suddenly demanding public and his rise in popularity, and begins battling with advanced alcoholism as a result. He seeks respite first in solitude in the Big Sur cabin, then in a relationship with Billie, the mistress of his longtime friend Neal Cassady. Kerouac finds respite in the Big Sur wilderness, but is driven by loneliness to return to the city, and resumes drinking heavily.
Across Kerouac's subsequent trips to Big Sur and interleaved lifestyle in San Francisco, he drunkenly embarrasses Cassady by introducing Billie to Cassady's wife Carolyn, cannot emotionally provide for the increasingly demanding Billie, and finds himself increasingly unable to integrate into suburban life. Kerouac`s inner turmoil culminates in his nervous breakdown during his third journey to Big Sur.
Cast - Jean-Marc Barr, Josh Lucas, Anthony Edwards, Kate Bosworth, Radha Mitchell, Henry Thomas
Director - Michael Polish
Verdict - The film while not that bad, doesn't really connect with the audience. The story isn't told in a a way that the audience would gauge its full potential. In fact, I would suggest you go out and give it a chance, it's one of those movies where no one can tell you whether it's good - You either like it or you don't.

Cast - Jeanne Tripplehorn , Joelle Carter , Huub Stapel , Liev Schreiber, Renee Soutendijk , Kevin Rooney

Verdict - An intruiguing story line, but doesn't quite hit the mark. The cast is good and Liev Schreiber does a good job as a ladies man who falls in love. Maybe a one time watch.

Cast - Michael Caine, Justin Kirk, Gillian Anderson, Clemence Poesy, Jane Alexander, Anne Alvaro

Verdict - Although the film has an impressive cast, and a unique way of telling the story, I think this is a one time watch. Not much depth in the plot and poorly directed at that.

Mr. Nobody
Mr. Nobody is a 2009 science fiction drama film. It was written and directed by Jaco Van Dormael, produced by Philippe Godeau, and starred Jared Leto, Sarah Polley, Diane Kruger, Linh Dan Pham, Rhys Ifans, Natasha Little, Toby Regbo and Juno Temple. The film tells the life story of Nemo Nobody, a 118 year-old man who is the last mortal on Earth after the human race has achieved quasi-immortality. Nemo, memory fading, refers to his three main loves and to his parent`s divorce and subsequent hardships endured at three main moments in his life; him at age nine, fifteen and thirty-four. Nemo tells the story including alternate life paths, often changing course with the flick of a decision at each of those ages.
Cast - Jared Leto, Sarah Polley, Natasha Little, Diane Kruger, Linh-Dan Pham, Rhys Ifans
Director - Jaco Van Dormael
Verdict - The film has an interesting concept, and is well exicuted. Jared Leto delivers a compelling performance as the lead character and the film does give him enough time to evolve as a character. I would give this one a watch.
