Shaun of the Dead 5/10 - the basic premise was good - but wasted about every opportunity to be funny. The best bits are in the trailer ... and were funnier in the trailer, too.
Flags of Our Fathers 10/10 - I like any film that defies most expectations of a genre and delivers a good, honest story
The Double Life of Veronique 10/10 - actually saw it years ago and just saw it again. A poignantly beautiful film in every way.

"I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
