Paper Heart 7/10
It's a sort of fiction/nonfiction docu-story of a girl trying to find out about love. She, Charlyne Yi, is very endearing but the film also features Michael Cera, who I have never really liked, and the scenes with the two together felt very awkward. The interviews with real people were very interesting.
Stargate 7/10
In the middle of Paper Heart I suddenly got the urge to watch Stargate which I saw as a child in the cinema and once since then on TV but not for years. I definately recommend it for a first-time watch but I'd suggest to anyone tempted to see it again, fifteen years on, they should re-watch director Roland Emmerich's Independence Day instead. That really does hold up to repeat viewings thanks to its more charismatic leads, and its greater scope. I shall enjoy watching it again before going to see 2012, also Emmerich, on Imax. (Incidentally Stargate does feature some unusually impressive production design.)

I haven't been scared in the cinema for ages. Looking forward to seeing, and hopefully being scared by, both this and The Fourth Kind.
