Interestingly enough at the half way mark of the year I've seen three movies at the cinema in total

One was a short re release of Withnail and I at a cinema in Melbourne where Paul McGann also gave a small introduction and did a Q n A

The other was a few nights later in Sydney . Another re release . A movie called The Red Shoes

and finally How to train your Dragon in 3D. It was a good flick but you know I actually preferred to watch the older movies , esp since Withnail and i is my all time favourite

I watched "Life As We Know It" recently and that's quite good, although not necessarily very funny if it's intended to be a comedy.

I saw Paranormal Activity 2 on Friday October 22nd. Needless to say it was the scariest movie I've ever seen! It was, believe it or not, scarier than the first one. I was actually afraid of the dark when I came home for the first time since I was very little. If anyone likes their horror movies filled with suspense and noises and makes your imagination run wild, then go see this one. There's no gore whatsoever. Horror movies with no gore tend to be the scariest ones. Me and my cousin Bruno saw it on opening night and every seat in the 700 capacity theatre was taken. The age group was mostly teens, twenty somethings, and thirty somethings. All the girls screamed in unison in the theatre. It was the most fun I've ever had at the movies! I recommend seeing the first one first on DVD, then go see this one. I'm telling you, you'll have a good ole' scare like you won't believe watching the 2 movies. The second one acts as a prequel and sequel all in one. Movies that have demons are usually scary. Watch the two movies soon as the Halloween season is fast approaching it's end.

I'm watching 'The Time Traveler's Wife' on Film4 at this very moment in time. Has anybody ever seen that? Highly original idea. It's about a man who suffers from a genetic condition causing him to disappear into a different time where he suddenly reappears wearing nothing but his birthday suit. Time travel but without the Tardis eh?

I haven't seen the film but I consider the novel it's from to be a modern classic.

I've mostly been watching old TV shows on netflix, but did take time out to go see the Avengers!
Brilliant, epic and lots of other good descriptive words, said in a breathless fanboy voice.

I've seen a couple of decent sci-fi movies with my friends at the cinema lately; Men in Black 3 (3d version) and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. The first film deals with the phenomenon of time travel, a common theme in sci-fi. Does anyone on here ever consider the possibility of time travel becoming science fact one day?

Has anybody seen 'Lincoln' yet?
