Duplicity (2009)

Nothing special, but I liked it as far as big-budget Hollywood caper flicks are concerned. Tony Gilroy directs from his nicely complex script, and keeps the action flying from start to finish. The cast is pretty solid too - Clive Owen playing his trademark spy and Julia Roberts in a surprisingly bearable role headline the show, and they're backed up by the always great Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson as rival CEO's.

If you're bored and want something flashy with a bit of a brain behind it, this wouldn't be your worst option...


Star Trek (2009)

Finally got around to seeing this, and I'm so glad that I did - enjoyed every second of it.

I've always been a casual Trek fan - just started getting into the original series last year though - and this update more than lived up to my expectations. A sci-fi epic of the highest caliber.
