X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Leading up to the events of X-Men, X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program.
This is how some lethal weapon mutant were born.Some were born with it, and some were created.

Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.
Our missing of mutant legend as we know in animation series will be fulfilled here.
Ironic, as the good mutant ( with the bad anger )Wolverine is the strongest mutant of all. "made" from the strongest metal.Some how Magneto is the only bad (for some reason) mutant that could control any metal.

Watchmen

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes.
From the director of "300" ,Watchmen give us a dramatic picture,and contras color of its costume.
But its beautiful!

Race to the witch mountain

For years, stories have circulated about a secret place in the middle of the Nevada desert, known for unexplained phenomena and strange sightings. It is called Witch Mountain, and when a Las Vegas cab driver (Dwayne Johnson) finds two teens with supernatural powers in his cab, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of an adventure he can't explain. When they discover that the only chance to save the world lies in unraveling the secrets of Witch Mountain, the race begins, as the government, mobsters and even extraterrestrials try to stop them.

Reviews:

"Strikes a deft balance of chase-movie suspense and wisecracking humor, with a few slam-bang action setpieces that would shame the makers of more allegedly grown-up genre fare"- Variety

"It's entertaining with a crafty mixture of action, humor and drama"- The Hollywood Reporter

"A fast and furious wild ride of a movie in which the good guys are good (some of them really, really good), the bad guys are good (very scary good) and the car chases (around a thousand of them by my count, though it was hard to keep track with all the screeching tires and twisted metal) are pretty spectacular"- TV Guide

Dragonball: Evolution

Goku (Justin Chatwin) goes on a journey to find Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat) and gather the seven mystical Dragon Balls before the evil Lord Piccolo (James Marsters) can. Along his way, he meets Bulma (Emmy Rossum) who then joins him to help him in his mission. When arriving at Roshi's place, he is not welcomed with an embrace but has to fight Roshi. Roshi soon learns that Goku is the grandson of Gohan (Randall Duk Kim) and thus trains him to prepare him for the ultimate battle with Lord Piccolo to prevent him from collecting the powerful Dragon Balls. The story is still on the track of DB comic. The only something different is the innocent character of Goku. Here, Goku is a student of Tech School that was set in anomyous time and periode of place.
For Dragon Ball fans, this is not the best DB movie...but i think you'll be satisfied with the suitable character of Justin as Goku, or Emmy Rossum as Bulma.
