21. Thank You For Smoking
22. Constantine
23. Beowulf
24. Rules Of Attraction - liked it without loving it - Interesting, satirical, college-relationship film that I watched when I found that it was based on a book by Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho) - I have been meaning to read AS for ages - now I think I will read through all of Ellis's books eventually, as they all have interlinking characters.

American Psycho is an incredibly good book. There are passages that are really boring to read, but that is intentionally so. The action is presented in a way that often made me think, "Wtf? Where did that come from?"
Less Than Zero was a challenge to read because of the flat, dead tone throughout. Though again, it's intentional and directly connected with the theme of the book. It's interesting from a technical perspective and worth a read.
I've not read any of his other novels.

If you were expecting a kids film does that mean you didn't realize it was from Terry Gilliam?
I really enjoyed it too, even after hearing bad reviews I figure I would since I've loved everything else he's made

Oh god, I was so bitterly disappointed in Imaginarium. I thought it was going to be a return to form for Gilliam. Only it turnt out to be a cheap lifeless reimagining of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It had its moments, and it showed some promise. But that promise seemed to me never realized.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

I had no idea. I knew nothing about it except the title.

24. Rules Of Attraction
25. Silent Hill - As a game adaptation, it made a half-decent horror film. I must admit that I never played the game - and I know that a lot of people that have get really pissed off about how the story "isn't right" - but I say meh to them - it wasn't bad coming in as an outsider.
26. Killing Zoë - Violent bank heist movie set in Paris and featuring the gorgeous Julie Delpy. Well worth the effort.
