February and March
9 - 10 Minute Tales - A series of 11short, silent films (each about 10 minutes long, as the name suggests) that were shown on Sky over Christmas, that I finally got around to watching in February. Some well-known names in there, most of the films were set at Christmas, some had a bit of sadness, most had a bit of happiness. Think it might be cheating to count them all separately...?
10 - District 9 - Somehow not what I was expecting, had been under the impression that this was a film about aliens, but was actually a film about a guy, that happened to have aliens in it. Really very good, although not always easy viewing.
11 - Plunkett and Macleane - Film about highwaymen. British film, so both more low-rent and more sharp than a typical Hollywood film. A plethora of British comedians make cameo appearances (Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Armstrong and Miller, Noel Fielding were a few I noticed); Robert Carlyle, as might be expected, was the best actor in it by a far distance, with Ken Stott next.
