Some people have suggested a menu of the films included in my review thread. So here it is; I've tried to be very careful about not giving away too much. Thanks, too, to all who've said they're enjoying the reviews. And to Chocolate Lady who's requested scores ... these are out of 5, but NB these are NOT an indication of my personal taste in films, but rather an amalgam of how I rate all the BAFTA elements, and each is taken in its own terms. i.e. I would never judge the story of a film like Grudge 2 with the same criteria as, say, Babel.

Oh no!  TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY. NB I will NOT refund any money you spend  
Fear not! Seeing Casino Royale is on our dime and nothing you can say will sway us against seeing it. The other film is through a free set of tickets (at another theatre), so unless the popcorn has rancid butter (for which the blame cannot be put on you), there can be no repercussions!

Bafta, this is very helpful. Now just one request, if you can. What about giving each movie you've seen a score (out of 5 or 10). I know, that's not really fair but still... I mean, if you've scored them here for yourself, you could just tell us what you gave them, no?
Hi CL! Glad you're enjoying the thread I'll add my scores to the Menu List when I get a moment.
Meanwhile -- congrats again on zooming up the voting lists! 
Thanks! I've finally got a chance to go to a couple of movies this week and all the movies available have been reviewed by you - so we'll decide what we see (besides Casino Royale) based on your reviews.
