i hope no one mentions twilight or new moon, urgh cant stomach anymore of those poorly made "films".
there is a film called paranormial which is meant to be very scary.

Paranormal Activity you mean? Apparently it is rubbish and I seen the trailer of it and I sat there slightly bored at it. And I'm the most easily amused person ever. Probably(A)

All the girls get 'boners' over 'twilight' and 'New Moon'. I found 'Twilight' distinctively average, I've always had Gladiator down as a favourite, I think 'The Departed' was pretty good when i had the DVD
Went to the cinemas last night with Kris and Sean to see New Moon!!! 
It was alright, it seems a bit hollywood-ish compared to Twilight which i didn't like and also slightly cheesy too.
But i must say Taylor Lautner looked hot! yumm!
I think the majority of the guys must of felt quite insecure when every woman swooned in the cinema! <3

I think the majority of the guys must of felt quite insecure when every woman swooned in the cinema! <3A few more from the ones I've seen recently (may have omitted a few).
Mystic River (2003), dir. Clint Eastwood – A host of fine acting performances in this, and with all due respect to the ever excellent Tim Robbins, Sean Penn steals the show in this one. A compelling story, the aforementioned performances masterfully directed by the Clint and grade A drama makes this a film you must not pass up. 9/10
Gran Torino (2008), dir. Clint Eastwood – A good film often finds time, no matter how serious its subject matter, to make you laugh, and Gran Torino makes it work perfectly in this truly awesome film, which may be Eastwood's best acting performance of all time, and he is a juggernaut. A character-driven drama, you simply cannot peel your eyes off the screen. 9.5/10
Tropic Thunder (2008), dir. Ben Stiller – ******* hilarious, in every aspect, but I actually enjoyed the theatrical cut more than the new "unrated" edition that forces semi-unfunny and throughly unnecessary bits here and there into this otherwise excellently paced film. It is still perfect, however, for when you just wanna let loose and rofl. 7.5/10
Up (2009), dir. Pete Docter & Bob Peterson – This very sweet animated flick opened up the Cannes film festival this year, which goes to show just how far animated features have come. Up continues in the same vein where the fantastic WALL-E left off, and in many ways it's as good. My major concern, however, is that the film seems to cater a bit too much to the younger audiences for my taste, with some silly gags that just go a bit too far. 8.5/10
Battle Royale (2000), dir. Kinji Fukasaku – Oh, sweet mother of mercy, yes! I must have managed to delete this at least 5 or 6 times before I finally sat down and watched it, and let's just say it was thoroughly worth the wait. Since, I've seen it 3 times in under a month. It is just that good. Sweet, quirky, gory, hilarious but manages to pull it all off in a way that only the Japanese would have been able to. A thoroughly perfect film in its genre and one of my new all-time favourites. 10/10
Public Enemies (2009), dir. Michael Mann – I had very high hopes for this, and as a character exposition, it doesn't disappoint. Johnny Depp as Dillinger is very entertaining to watch. However, I thought it fell somewhat flat in other areas, particularly in its depth. It just doesn't explore the characters very much at all, and that's why I think it's maybe one to watch once or twice, but not something I would call a great film by any means. 7/10
No Country for Old Men (2007), dir. Joel & Ethan Coen – The Coen Brothers once again weave Oscar magic, but never have they had better subject matter, and this may be their best film as a whole, which is saying a whole lot. Javier Bardem is haunting as hitman Anton Chigurh, which may very well be the most menacing character in recent years. Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Kelly Macdonald and Woody Harrelson round out the terrific cast. 10/10
There Will Be Blood (2007), dir. Paul Thomas Anderson – Wow! When people speak of juggernaut performances, they will now be obliged to include Daniel Day-Lewis' portrayal of ruthless oilman Daniel Plainview. The supporting cast does it job very well also and especially Paul Dano as Paul & Eli Sunday is terrific as a local faith healer who comes to blows with Plainview on several occasions, but Day-Lewis steals the show in the way that only he can do. A well-wrought story and a performance for the ages make this unmissable. 9/10
(500) Days of Summer (2009), dir. Marc Webb – This is an exquisite film. Truly. Zooey Deschanel has long been one of my favourites, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt really surprised me in this film, as he's fantastic in going through the emotions. Despair, elation, desperation, suaveness. Their charisma is what makes this film so compelling and worth seeing. Also, a specific scene in it just entered as one of my favourite of all time. 8.5/10
A Clockwork Orange (1971), dir. Stanley Kubrick – Who else but Kubrick? This is a strong candidate for one of the best films of all time, in my book. Like no other film I've seen it draws your eyes to the screen and uncompromisingly delivers one stomach punch after the other. Malcolm McDowell delivers a great performance as the ultraviolent delinquent Alex whilst also Michael Bates deserves a mention for his portrayal of Chief Officer Barnes. Powerful, shocking and all the usual Kubrick charms. A must-see. 10/10
The Prestige (2006), dir. Christopher Nolan – Another film I've put off seeing for god knows whatever reason, but again, it was well worth the wait. Terrific performances by Bale (one love Chrissy), Jackman, Caine, Hall and even David Bowie checks in as the eccentric and tragic innovator Nikola Tesla. Bale's character asks: "Are you watching closely?" Yes, sir, very closely indeed. 9/10
Blade Runner (1982), dir. Ridley Scott – Although Harrison Ford ranks at the very top in the all-time Awesome Hall of Fame, Rutger Hauer checks in with a great performance as Roy Batty in this masterpiece of a film. What impressed me most of all when I first saw this wasn't the gripping story, the film noir kind of storytelling or even the terrific performances or glorious cinematography. More than anything, the atmosphere and mood of this film is just so captivating and enthralling that you're just sucked right into it, which is one of the things I enjoy most about films. Another one which is absolutely for the ages. 10/10
Das Leben der Anderen (2006), dir. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck – First time feature film writer-director von Donnersmarck bursts onto the scene directing a fantastic cast, led by a masterful performance by Ulrich Mühe as the stoic Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler of the Stasi. Subtly building and advancing the plot, the choices of the characters are highlighted, even though it seems as if they have no choice most of the time in the rigidly controlled but seethingly corrupt East Germany. Tension at an all time high. 10/10
Woop woop!
