I've not seen that many new ones to be honest. Indiana Jones was fun to an extent but way overlong. The Dark Knight was great but the relentless pre release hype left me feeling empty afterwards. Quantum of Solace was pretty decent.
I enjoyed There Will Be Blood but this year is more about films I wish I had made the time to go and see (Somer's Town for instance).

My Top 10 of those I've seen would be along the lines of.....
Juno
WALL-E
The Dark Knight
Enchanted
Son Of Rambow
Female Agents
No Country For Old Men
Cloverfield
The Orphanage
The Diving Bell & The Butterfly
In Bruges
Would really have liked to have seen Eden Lake and Changeling as well.

Cloverfield is 2.99 on Play.com's sale. Worth a punt?

Cloverfield is 2.99 on Play.com's sale. Worth a punt? Well worth £2.99. It's the best disaster movie I've seen in a long time, and although it's slow to get going, it does feel as authentic as a film about a huge lizard type thing smashing up New York is ever going to. ;D Anything else decent on Play? Just got an email from them....must check the site and HMV. |

I also found myself disliking the preacher character Eli more than Plainview, not sure if this was the intention of the film makers though! |

Well I've got American Gangster for 3.99 and I picked up the Elbow back catalogue for 2.99 each (after getting into them through Grounds For Divorce). Got some classic thrash CDs that are normally a lot more expensive for 2.99 too, I know you won't be interested in that but it shows there is some bargains to be had. |

Picked up American Gangster a while back for £5, well worth the money, quite reminiscent of The French Connection. £2.99 apiece for Elbow? Might have a dabble myself at that price!!  I'll have a good browse now..... |

Peep Show : Series 1-5 for £16.99.......gutted!! ;D I got them all individually for about 7 quid each, still 35 quid though! Been watching them on demand at my Mum's. The scene where he says the gym instructor has been touching him is so painfully funny it's untrue. |

I've recently re-lived the episode with the barbecued dog. ;D That genuinely made me retch when I saw the dog in the bin  My favourite episode must be the drugs party when he gives Mark an overdose of flu medicine and he ends up doing un natural shitting with the door open while everyone is tripping ;D Super Hans - 'Jesus, is this what you too are into' ;D |
