Oldboy - 10/10 Genius.

Swingers - 6/10 Made - 7/10 (ratings may be interchangeable depending on your opinion of Vaughn)

I also bought from Fiebing. Just PM Bill, thats what i did. Still waiting for Phonak to contact me to arrange my replacement.

Gamer - 5.5/10 Would have given it less if it weren't for the unorthodox content/plot/style, Amber Valletta and Michael C. Hall (Dexter).

^big ups for the South African film industry :P Terminator Salvation - 7/10 Incredibly cheesey at times, but I still enjoyed it.

The Eye (Jessica Alba version) - 4/10 When would a recovering blind person walk into the road without looking?! I don't care how distracted she was!

I was told by Bill that the new version would be out near the end of November. My PFEs have been on the shelf for a couple of weeks now since the break and my backups (NE7M) are falling well short. I sure hope there are no problems with version 2.

Street Kings - 6.5/10 I know, it's Keanu Reeves. I only got it because I wanted to see Hugh Laurie (House MD) in a film. Turned out to be entertaining.

The Hangover - 8/10

I was always slightly concerned about the cable hardening as i've noticed it getting progressively worse (slowly). but after the length of time that i've had them, i wonder if there would be a swap out option. mine have the cable guides fitted permanently. i've already had to send them for...

the wrestler: 7/10 good film that drops points for being drawn out and about "wrestling"

bedtime stories: if you like sandler movies = 7.9/10 if you don't = 6.5/10 good family movie anyway

michael clayton - 8.2/10

would it be correct to say that usually the "busier" the music is, the higher the bitrate needs to be. i have some cello concertos encoded at 160kbps MP3 VBR V0 and this sounds fine to me. to me its not as engaging as lossless but if you're strapped for storage on the go... i have loads of...
