Lily C.A.T.
Couldn't find a legit copy in the UK but finally found a torrent that is working so I'm psyched. Was about to resort to the SciFi Channel taped VHS rip on Youtube, but this will be much better. First anime I saw when it was a kid and I hope it's still as badass even though now I know it's a complete rip off of Alien and The Thing, but c'mon there's an evil cyborg cat in it....
Avatar
Attempted to watch Avatar for the first time. I wasn't missing much. LOVED the CG for the Na'vi (or however you spell it) but the creature animations were shit and the story was beyond predictable and generic. Add stock mainstreamy acting and a ridiculous runtime (the version I tried to watch was around 3 hours). If this movie had been made anyone else, with slightly worse effects and wasn't in 3D, it would have been a massive flop.
Hunger Games
I liked the Hunger Games better when it was called Battle Royale, before they watered it down and Harry Potter'd the hell out of it.
Tintin
The animation/motion capture in The Adventures of Tintin was seriously the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. If there was any flaw it's that I kept marveling over how real parts of it looked and lost focus of the story, which wasn't too bad either. All in all it was fun, looked great and was the best thing Spielberg's done in a long ass time. Avatar may have established the technology, but it was a shitty movie. Tintin looks great and kept me watching till the end, which these days is rare.
