Midnight Meat train was awsome, I was surprised at it's length as it's an adaptation of a 25 page short story...

I did not seen any movies in 2008.

I really only watch cartoons.

King of the Hill, Daria, Dilbert, Beavis and Butthead, He-Man etc.

I will see that Nixon film soon though. Should be interesting,

Valued Contributor: For members whose non technical contributions are worthy of recognition. - Issue reason: Always willing to help out fellow AFF members... Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: Daniels knowledge of modular engines and superchargers is extremely valuable to the AFF community. I have learnt quite a bit just reading his build threads. His contributions are often utilised by other members.

In order:

Dark Knight
Street Kings
3:10 to Yuma
Jumper
Quantum of Solace

Taken sounds like it would have made it in there if only I had watched it....

1. 1408 (again I think 07 but I watched it 2 months ago, was a good horror)
2. Street Kings
3. 3:10 to Yuma
4. Felon (was really good worth a watch)
5. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (was 07 but not on DVD till 08)

I am adding a 6th and saying Sweeney Todd, for a musical it was really good. I hate musicals and I watched the whole thing.

Also going to agree with the comment on Dark Night. It was boring. I think Ledger did well but still a boring movie.

Yeah the car chase in Death Proof is killer and one of Kurt Russell's better performances.
Still haven't seen Rob Zombie's trailer for Grindhouse (Werewolf Women of the SS) but rumour is that it will become a full feature soon.

One thing about deathproof there about 5 mins of feet footage . Bloody Tarantino and his foot fetish annoys me a little he done it in kill bill as well.

I had not herd about a zob zombie movie . Butlook forward to that crazy bugger vision at very least allways has great music in his soundtracks that make it for me . Take devils rejects having Skynyrd's Free Bird at the end actually make me feel sorry for them bieng ........ ( won't spoil )

But i did here that there making a feature out of machete that tralier at the start of one of the grindhouse film can't remember which one.
