The Prestige
King of Kong
Cloverfield
Assassination of Jesse James
Sweeney Todd
Burn After Reading
Quarantine
Paranormal Activity

It's an ok movie, for some reason I didn't like it as much as everybody round my way who seemed to just fall in love with it, far from terrible, but not my favorite. Smile
