Hounddog (2007)
You might have heard about this film because of the controversy surrounding Dakota Fanning playing a 12 year old who gets raped. I don't see what the problem was, the scene last less than 30 seconds, and just focuses on her face. Anyways, the movie is mostly boring. It builds up well enough to the rape scene, but then kind of falls apart afterwards. Best thing was Dakota Fanning's performance.
Outlander (2008)
Okay, this film was weird. It's set in the year 709, in Norway, during the reign of the Vikings. A man from a far-off world, (another planet, the future???), named Kainan (James Caviezel), crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the "Moorwen". Kainan and the Vikings join forces to battle the beast. Ron Perlman shows up halfway through the film, as the leader of another nearby tribe. The battle scenes are fun and bloody, but overall it's a pretty cheesy Sci-Fi/Adventure movie.
Thick as Thieves (2009)
Director, Mimi Leder's first film since the underrated Pay It Forward (2000). Thick as Thieves is a very different film. It's a crime/heist film, starring Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas as crime partners. Freeman plays a veteran thief who recruits a younger crook (Banderas), to help him pull off one final job in order to repay his debt to the Russian mob. It was a pretty average crime movie, until the ending, which was surprisingly original, and I didn't see coming.
