  Been a pretty poor year for movies so far in my opinion. The only two films I've left the cinema thinking 'Wow, that was brilliant!!!' have been Slumdog Millionaire and The Wrestler. There have been plenty of 'good' films, but films that I would rate higher than 7 or 8 out of 10 have been very few and far between.

  The Wrestler - good to see Mickey Rourke again. I also liked X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
  
  And I'm looking forward to seeing The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds which I've heard is very funny.

  I don't believe there is ever a poor year for films, you just got to look in all areas of film. Every year there are amazing films and rubbish films.

  So far....and in no particular order but all films I'd go and see a second time:
  
  Slumdog Millionaire
  Knowing
  Star Trek
  The Hangover
  
  They were all films that surprised me - I wasn't actually expecting a lot but came away having really enjoyed them.

  Agreed, my favourite performance of the year.
  
  Though both of Kate Winslet's also mesmerise me.

  Only seen Star Trek and Terminator at the flicks this year. Both left me relatively cold.
  
  I watched Awake (2008) on Sky the other week. I'd say that's the best movie I've seen this year.
