Ok, I'm a little late. Since I liked all of the films I saw, I decided to rank them (sort of):

1. Inglourious Basterds
2. Star Trek
3. District 9
4. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
5. The Hangover
6. Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince
7. Terminator: Salvation
8. Orphan
9. The Hurt Locker
10. Drag Me to Hell
11. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
12. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
13. The Final Destination
14. Halloween II (loved the ruthless Myers)

1. Transformers 2
2. District 9

Terminator: Salvation had such great potential but is now wasted. halloween i just saw because of one scene, the scenes where michael myers was in were great, but overall a confusing movie. bruno was funny but wouldn't have watched that movie if it weren't for the ron paul bit which makes me laugh to this day when it crosses my mind ("he's as queer as blazes. he put a hit on me..." Hahaha).

that's pretty much it. anticipating the new saw movie, but find myself getting ambivalent over avatar. part of me wants to punish avatar for titanic. im thinking in order to recoup what i lost with titanic, im just not seeing avatar. the hyped up special effects that in more ways than one was underwhelming don't help things either. i don't know. i'll probably end up giving it one opportunity but the movie so far i don't think appeals that much to me.

The only one on your list that I saw was "Star Trek". IMHO, it had a few okay moments, I wouldn't sit through it again.
However, I got some terrific feedback on a film called "500 Days of Summer" - that, I might go see.

Of those listed, I only saw "The Hangover", and it was awesome.

Also excellent was "(500) Days of Summer" w/Zooey Deschanel & Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. Quirky flick, great acting (I'd heard Leavitt was good, but now I've seen it for myself), great soundtrack, and probably the greatest dance scene ever made involving Hall & Oates.

Funk, the Hangover was great..... But Inglourious Basterds was on of the best movies ever :D:D:D

Only movie I saw over the summer was The Time Traveler's Wife. I liked it.

1. hangover
2. Wolverine
3.district 9
4.star trek
5.Inglurious
6. HP HBP
7. trans

I haven't seen the rest of those but am interested in H2 and hurt locker. land of the lost I'd skip and put at 12. there were some good bits in it but it was a disappointment overall.
I heard GI Joe was craptacular as well. I wagered that it would be on par with the fantastic 4 franchise and from what I've heard I was right.

Saw Inglorious Basterds. It was like a 450 foot shot to the upper deck that went just foul at the pole. Will say that Landa is awesome.
