I Am Legend
2007
Jericho

I like post-apocolyptic flicks. The idea of large cesspools we call cities 
being completely wiped of humanity is great. Let the animals run free, let 
the buildings fade away. Unfortunately, that movie isn't appealing to the 
masses without a lone survivor to fight some bad guys, zombies in this 
case.

Rescue Dawn
2006

Perhaps it's my bad memory and childhood being so long ago, but I recall 
there being a lot more Vietnam/POW flicks from the 80's than we see today. 
I think time has healed that 'wound' a lot, so we only hear about it from 
McCain or the occasional movie. Rookie pilot on first mission gets shot 
down in Vietnam and subsequently captured where he spends years in 
captivity.

Transformers
2007

The car-robot-thingies are more than meets the eye, the movie isn't. 
Relatively entertaining flick about these neat robot-thingies that come 
from another planet in search of some relic that crashed into our own very 
Earth. Suspending disbelief and accepting that is easy, but getting over 
the rest of it may be problematic.
