年不能錯過的精彩電影
Che
Steven Soderbergh has always been a confident director, and this is a startlingly ambitious two-part movie about Che Guevara, the Argentine medical student turned legendary Marxist guerrilla. The first movie shows the two high points of Che's life: his place in the 1959 Cuban revolution and his radical-chic appearance at the UN in 1964. The second movie shows the drawn-out, agonised endgame in the Bolivian jungle, where he was to meet a violent end.

《切-格瓦拉傳》
史蒂文·索德伯格作爲導演，一直充滿自信。這是一部關於切-格瓦拉的驚世之作，分爲兩集。格瓦拉曾是阿根廷的醫科學生，後來成爲一名頗具傳奇色彩的馬克思主義游擊隊員。第一集展示了他生活中的兩個高峯：身處1959年古巴革命，和1964年在聯合國的激進表現。第二集展示了玻利維亞曠日持久的叢林戰，其中充滿艱難困苦，他亦在此遭遇暴力終結。

Frost/Nixon
Opinions may be divided on the point of adapting Peter Morgan's award-winning stage play, but no one could doubt the outstanding performances. This is the great small-screen duel in 1977 between David Frost and ex-president Richard Nixon. Landing a punch on Tricky Dicky wouldretrieve Frostie's sagging career - and avoiding the blow might decontaminate Nixon's reputation. Great performances, particularly Frank Langella as Nixon.

《福斯特對話尼克松》
對於改編這部皮特-摩根的獲獎話劇，人們可能見仁見智，意見不一，但沒有人懷疑其中的出色表演。1977年，戴維-福斯特採訪前總統理查德-尼克松，這是一場在小屏幕上展開的重量決鬥。這次關於水門事件的採訪，能夠拯救福斯特低迷的職業生涯，又能避免尼克松的聲名受污。其表演精彩之至，尤其是尼克松的扮演者弗蘭克-朗格拉。

Three Monkeys
Nuri Bilge Ceylan is one of the great masters of arthouse cinema, and his latest film is an intriguing and beautiful noir drama.

The Class
Laurent Cantet's docu-realist story of a teacher in a tough French school was a sensation in Cannes, winning the Palme D'Or - the first French movie to do so in 20 years. The idealist teacher reaching out to the tough kids ought to be the biggest cliche imaginable, and yet Cantet triumphantly transcends it. François Bégaudeau, the teacher who wrote the original novel, appears playing himself, and the children are all non-professionals. Powerful, exhilarating stuff.

《班級》
勞倫·坎迪的這部紀實電影，講述了一位老師在一所麻煩不斷的法語學校的故事。該片在戛納引起轟動，並贏得金棕櫚獎，這是20年來第一部獲此殊榮的法國電影。老師懷揣理想主義，想要拯救棘手的孩子，這樣的大俗套路，卻被坎迪成功地超越。弗朗索瓦Bégaudeau老師是原著小說的作者，就像是在表演自己，而劇中的孩子們都是非職業演員。影片令人震撼，催人振奮。

Star Trek
Since the Phantom Menace debacle we've learned to be cautious about retro-novelty event films, but this is still a gripper. It is the back-to-basics Star Trek movie with Chris Pine as young Kirk, Zachary Quinto as his young Vulcan-human No 2 and Leonard Nimoy in a cameo as the old Spock. John Cho from the Harold and Kumar movies plays Sulu and Simon Pegg tries out his Scottish accent as Scottie, powering up dilithium crystals.

《Star Trek星際迷航》
自從《幽靈的威脅》解禁以來，我們學會了對新奇的復古電影要持謹慎態度，但這次的確引人入勝。這是星際迷航電影的迴歸，克里斯·派恩飾演年輕的可瑞克，扎克瑞·昆圖飾演年輕的火神人2號，倫納德-尼莫依飾演老斯坡克。《尋堡奇遇》中的約翰·趙飾演蘇魯，西蒙·佩吉帶有蘇格蘭口音，飾演斯考特。他們減少了碲化二鋰晶體消耗。

Synecdoche, New York
Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a theatre director in Charlie Kaufman's metaphysical comedy. Disenchanted with the middlebrow nature of theatre and all that polite society calls "art", he takes over a rundown city block in New York - and employs actors to improvise lives in these apartments over months and years with no audience but themselves, creating a thrillingly authentic art-event-happening.

Bruno
It's that man again. The great prankster Sacha Baron Cohen now confers feature-film status on his other creation - Bruno, the gay Austrian fashion journalist who boldly quizzes unsuspecting creative types and somehow misses the point. Fans of the "Funkyzeit Mit Bruno" slot on his HBO show will be aware how horrible his misjudgments can be, and Bruno has already crashed super-cool runway shows for this film. Expect embarrassment, lawsuits and big laughs.

Broken Embraces
Pedro Almodóvar has in the last few years ascended to the absolute heights of world cinema: he is the most important Spanish director since Buñuel, and is certainly the only director who could get away with referring to himself just by his surname in the credits. His new film stars his great muse Penélope Cruz and is a tough, noir-ish thriller about a plastic surgeon seeking revenge on the man who killed his daughter.

Avatar
Another post-Titanic landmark. Its formidably confident director James Cameron - who has been contenting himself with nature documentaries - returns with his first mainstream film since his great ocean-going tragedy. It's a mind-bending virtual-reality adventure using state of the art 3D and digital technology. A disabled soldier from the future inhabits the body of an alien being and leads its planet's insurrection against the Earthling oppressors.
