But it was such a bad film: -1/10bec of Celine Dion, I'd rate Titanic a 9+ and diCaprio's Gangs of New York, a 9.5+......am trying to avoid the decimals here now, sanjiun....
was titanic hit by an iceberg or a bugger who did not see the ice!! 
saw the season 4 of 24.. its based on terrorism and counter terorism units... nice one... one episode is 40 minutes long.. tat makes it almost a day tat is teh name!!! so each minute accounted for!!! 8/10 (tats rounded off as the decimal was 8.0001224120112452!!!)
saw it in four days.. so cud not see any movies!!! 
finally, I watched the new Twilight movie, New Moon......hmmmm...for plot and story line, a 4.999/9.999, special effects, quite dismal considering that the first one grossed a lot in the box office, a 3/9.999, for character development, a 6, I should say...but for the hot buffed looks, the six-packs of the shirtless guys- a 10/9.999 ...
reason for edit: changed my mind about the hot looks....
And "Capitalism: A Love Story" by Michael Moore, a 8/10 (too lazy to write many 9s ), a bit chaotic and superficial, but altogether not bad and quite funny. But it's a safe bet for such films...
Perhaps shall try something more light and easy:
"A walk to remember"...
good love story...
8.97/10.00

I read this book by Sparks but I haven't seen the movie so I don't know how faithful it was to the book.
I saw this Italian movie twice, recently in our cable channel Agata e la tempesta (Agata and the Storm)...also a love story but really quirky, very funny and lively, some poignant moments....worth seeing, imo....8.499/9.999

hmmm... real fake vampires don't sparkle.
i saw the first one on a plane (watched everything on the movie channel), and it was bland. i would not have paid to see that in a cinema. not seeing this one, unless it's free. however, aparently in the books (i have never read them) the next one has some *interesting* ideas which will be amusing to see on a big screen. something about cutting a vampire baby out of uterus with vampire teeth, just as an example of these *interesting* ideas. i may consider seeing that one for a laugh.
this is a serious question for those who have read and enjoyed the books and movies... why would a 108 year old vampire stay in high school? my nieces are tween and teens, and they luv edward, but they haven't given me an answer. seriously, if i was kept in the body of an 18 year old for eternity... i would not spend eternity in high school... regardless of how hot the boys were (which, in my school, they weren't... maybe i went to the wrong high school).
anyway, i got a copy of so notorious (VH1 series that was on a couple of years ago)... it's suprisingly good. perhaps a 7/10.

hey V....long time eh? I would definitely recommend it if it's free...it would've been a totally relaxing downtime in the cinema but for the sighing and mooning of all the girls (except me of course
)...I wanted to watch The Wolfman tho....looks more promising... Just want to find out...
had anyone watch "paranormal activity"? I heard is only show in US...
