    I'm a little dissapointed with Icheckmovies as a website. There are a few films I've watched now which aren't listed on the site... so I cannot check them
    Are they definitely not there? I watched one yesterday and had to trawl through pages of irrelevant pages before I found it (even though I typed in the exact name).

    Thanks, Anna! I have found them in the end. I was confused when it wasn't in the first page... I had to scroll through 5 pages to find what I wanted... very odd :p:

    Glad you found them in the end at least though.

    I'm definitely in! My New Year's resolutions was to read more and expose myself to more music, so naturally I'll be doing the books and music lists.

    Haha, no worries. It seems they deliberately hide what you're looking for to try and convince you to buy premium membership so you can do more advanced searches :mob:

    Paying... for premium membership... as a student .... NEVER! (unless it's TSR pro membership of course) :tsr2:

    On a more serious note I'm about to watch "4 luni, 3 saptamâni si 2 zile" (4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days) I've been meaning to watch it for a while now and I've heard some fantastic things about it.

    What did you think of Red, Anna? I watched it recently too... I wasn't really sure what to expect from it but found it to be a bit of a disappointment. Some bits were funny (the pig incident) but I don't really think it was my thing. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

    Just noticed you watched Exam, which i vaguely remember wanting to watch when it was released. Any good? Or should I not waste my time?

    3rd movie of the year: Jackass 3D. I'd never seen any of the Jackass films before and it was alright I guess: some parts were pretty 'ew' though ha.

    I really like it (I think this might be the third time I've seen it). The ending is a bit of a disappointment, but in terms of a directorial debut I think it's really well done, and there's certainly some interesting ideas in it. So yeah. I'd definitely say it's worth a watch.

    I wonder if it would be easier to just put the books/films/music we have completed in our TSR signatures :dontknow:
    Don't want massive sigs tbh, plus not a good tracking tool. :no:

    Hmmm I'll definitely have a look into watching it then

    Perhaps if we all went to the theatre there would be far less dispute.

    The 'exam' film with the 8 candidates trying out for a job at a company? Watched that a few weeks ago, really liked the premise and thought it was pretty unique, I hated White though until a certain point anyway (what an ass)

    Really into films like that

    Yep. If you're into that kind of thing I recommend you try Fermat's Room next, if you haven't seen it already:

    yeah I'm aware of that and have been trying to find it online (but failing), might just get it on DVD or something

    In the same sort of genre, have you seen Timecrimes? Spanish film about time travel and confusing things that happens if you do, bit of a mess with your mind film but pretty good
