Avatar 3.5/5 (C)
It's an enjoyable enough blockbuster film but it's only a few hours later and I've mostly forgotten about it. 3D is nice but still doesn't seem to add anything to the film (and is it compulsory for somebody to get a pole stuck in their chest in every 3D film?) . The technology used to create the Na'vi is pretty phenomenal and it is that rather than the 3D or CGI environment and creatures that has the biggest potential to change cinema.

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! 1/5 (I)
If this had remained as bad as the (presumably) intentionally bad movie within the movie then it may have been quite entertaining. Unfortunately as soon as it tries, it completely fails to be entertaining in any way at all.

Fish Tank 3/5 (C)
A huge disappointment after the excellent Red Road, not even the fantastic performances could save the predictable story for me.

Mammoth 2/5 (D)
Rubbish but quite entertaining rubbish with some great hilariously bad dialogue:
and my favourite
Dr. Frank Abernathy: Can I be frank with you?
Agent Powers: You are, Frank.
Dr. Frank Abernathy: I know!
and my favourite
Dr. Frank Abernathy: Dear God!
Sheriff Morrison: God is for Sunday Frank. Today we pray to Nike. Run!

Antichrist 3/5 (C)
I'm still unsure about this. The prologue and epilogue are excellent but I still don't know what to make of the main story.

Time Crimes 3/5 (D)
Firstly if you're planning on watching this then don't watch the trailer or read any reviews, the less you know the more you'll get out of the film.
This could have been so much better with just a few minor changes. Surprisingly, for a film like this, the time part of the film makes sense but it's let down by the story.

(Saw most of this but the rented DVD wouldn't play until the end)

Lady In The Water 2/5 (R)
Complete nonsense but surprisingly still watchable if only to see how much more ridiculous it can become.

Date Movie 0/5 (R)
I couldn't even bring myself to finish watching this. I knew it was bad but I didn't think it would be that bad. Nothing in what I saw even came close to being slightly amusing. It's almost as if somebody randomly cut together bits of lots of trailers and then got less talented people to recreate that mash up.

How can so many talented people not realise that they are making a bad film?

Revolver 2.5/5 (R)
Not as bad as I thought it was going to but it tries to hard and fails to deliver.

Gomorrah 2.5/5 (C)
This is probably a much better film than I thought (BFI's 4th best film 2008) but my pre-occupied mind just couldn't get hooked and as a result I didn't have any idea what was going on or who anybody was.
Also the trailer gives away far too much.

Please don't waste your time with this rubbish, track down and watch the infinitely superior Requiem instead.

Slumdog Millionaire 3.5/5 (C)
High expectations probably lead to disappointment again. It's in no way a bad film and is really well put together but it just didn't work as a whole for me. I'm glad I saw it but don't think I'd want to see it again and would rather re-watch any of Danny Boyle's other films.
