Just watch it. If you do not absolutely LOVE it I will re imburse you with the cost of the DVD. This is a cast iron certainty. You will fall in love with this film I can guarantee it.

Don't worry yourself Gareth, it will get watched!
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
I LOVED this film. I thought it had great cinematography, struck the right tone and pace, performances from the adults were good, as always Rickman was very good, Jim Broadbent was excellent. The kids ranged from annoying (younger tom riddle) to rather good (evanna lynch, teen tom riddle).
I liked the changes they made from the book.
My only two complaints was the sacking of the burrow was pointless, didn't add anything. And the end seemed a little flat/to be continued-ish.
I am a fan of the book, I don't know how much I benefited from that, so don't know how non-book fans will view it. (will probably be as mixed as the book fans).

Watchmen
Never read the comic, and at nigh on 3 hours it is self-indulgent, but a good story told in a very stylish way and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A solid 8.0

The Strangers
A couple in the iddle of nowhere in a motel room ( obligatory plotline ) are disturbed in the middle of the night by 3 strangers wearing masks, 1 man and 2 women who keep banging on their door, looking at them in a strange way and being annoying frankly. At the end the man stabs them both.
Thats about it really.
Poor, don't bother.

Moon
A great "old fashioned" sci-fi with brains rather than the usual robots kicking the CGI crap out of each other. A compelling and interesting story, excellently shot and brilliantly acted by Sam Rockwell in what must have been a difficult role/roles to play out. It's a real shame that it's not got a wider release. Well done Zowie Bowie! 8.1/10

The Hangover
Four guys go to Vegas on a stag do, get completely wasted, wake up the next morning all remembering absolutely NOTHING of the night before....and the groom is missing. Sharp script with some genuine LOL moments and a great cameo from Mike Tyson. Probably the best comedy I've seen this year, quality sniggerage.

A stylishly movie that oozes class, confusing at first then the web begins to unfold, if you haven't seen it you must.

The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
Train gets taken hostage, bad guys negotiate with train co-ordinator instead of police.
I really enjoyed this, but I can't work out if it's because of the great cast (Denzel, Travolta, Gandolfini, Turturro, Guzman) or if it's cause the film itself was good.

The Wrestler
Wasn't sure if I'd like this, but I have to say it was one of the best acting performances I have seen in recent years. Micky Rourke is utterly convincing as struggling, lonely, washed-up over the hill wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson, still trying to earn a living by harking back to his past glories which were back in the 80's. He plays the role with such likable, world-weary, understated skill that its impossible not to find yourself pulling for the poor guy all the way through. Filmed almost in a fly-on-the-wall documentary style, I thought this was a gem of a film and one I'd happily watch again just for Rourkes amazing performance.
