Will Smith was his usual 'okay' but couldn't any a-list actor have pulled that off? disappointed. i can't remember all the films i have seen this year, so i will just add my comments to your list: American Gangster - 9, excellent film, just missing out on greatness The Bourne Ultimatum - 7, the best of the 3, but none really did it for me. Zodiac - 8, lovely film. i love Fincher. 28 Weeks Later - 6, not a patch on the first one The Illusionist - 8. brilliant Live Free or Die Hard - 4 shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - 8, last 10 mins let it down badly. Hoffmann wonderful Ocean's Thirteen - 7 not bad at all The Simpsons Movie - 7.5. much better than i thought Transformers - 2, appalling, loud and brash i've also seen, as far as i remember: 4:10 to Juma - 6. too long and pretentious The Assassination of Jesse James - see above Fracture - 7. much better than you'd think Borat - 9. utterly hilarious. so what if it's low-brow Happy New Year! i too saw “I am Legend”. truly a film of two halves. the night scenes were tense and well directed, but the truly appaling CGI of the vampires really let it down.

Who new Graham.. you're a smooth jazz fan? Another Englishman playing the acoustic guitar in the US that I love, love, love is Peter White. All of his cds are spectacular as well, and I catch him at any Jazz festival or concerts playing in the North East.
