Now I'll freely admit to not being a fan of Jackass, so you may contend that I'm biased here, but I struggle to conceive of how this could be anyone's actual favourite film.
What film did you watch last night?

Bad Teacher.
Fun way to spend a couple of hours, silly but very funny in places. Plus being a teacher myself I picked up some hints from her - I think watching DVDs for every lesson is a genius idea
7.5/10

The town
There are over 300 bank robberies in Boston every year. And a one-square-mile neighbourhood in Boston, called Charlestown, has produced more bank robbers than anywhere in the U.S. One of them is Doug MacRay, the leader of a crew of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves on taking what they want and getting out clean. The only family Doug has are his partners in crime, especially Jem, the closest thing Doug ever had to a brother. Things change when Jem takes a blindfolded hostage: bank manager Claire Keesey. After the job, Doug seeks out Claire, who has no idea that this charming stranger is one of the men who terrorized her only days before. As his relationship with Claire deepens into a passionate romance, Doug wants out of this life and the town. But with the Feds, led by Agent Frawley, closing in and Jem questioning his loyalty, Doug realizes that getting out will not be easy and, worse, may put Claire in the line of fire.

Not exactly what I was expecting love story with bank robbing. pretty decent film and well worth a watch but has nothing on inside man/kill point. But then I prefer ones based in the bank.

8.5/10 - Love this film. So good. Was on the TV last night and once I started watching I couldn't stop.

Think he was referring to The Crow dude
Oops. I did struggle to figure out what the second sentence meant!

One of my favorites, some great examples of tension building.
Watched 2 over the weekend.
Salt - didn't know anything about it, after reading the synopsis on Sky it had a twist to it but wasn't to hard to telegraph. Overall a decent action flick, but storyline was OTT. 6.5/10
Nightmare on Elm Street (2010 remake). A bit crap really, strange start to the film. The first one was much better. 4/10

Transformers 2 :- ok film, prefer the first though, 6.5/10
Doghouse :- got it a christmas, watched it a few times, still makes me laugh. 7/10

Have watched a few over the weekend,
Get Him to the Greek - 8/10 It's my kind of humour, and although I never really was that interested in Russell Brand's TV shows and standup I do like his comedy translated into films and Jonah Hill is always good.
Hot Fuzz - 8/10 Better than I remembered, had been watching some of the Pegg/Nick Frost films lately and have tuned to their particular humour a bit more.
Run Fatboy Run - 6.5/10 Only saw it the once years ago, forgot that its quite a heartfelt film but had its moments.
Transporter - 7.5/10 Its no classic but what it does it does well and some of the action scenes still seem very original.
Point Break - 7/10 Some memorable moments, characters and action scenes. (This was watched due to Hot Fuzz).

Terminator 1 - 9/10 classic
Terminator 2 - 10/10, i like the darkness of the original but i think this really improved on it.
Die Hard with a Vengence 9/10 - honestly i like this as much as the first.
