1408: Well made horror film that actually had a somewhat likable character that you could care about. I found the only major issue was that the ending wasn't overly satisfying. (Apparently I saw the "alternate" version, the "proper" version sounds like it was somewhat better.)
Gran Torino: Awesome movie, Clint Eastwood is amazing as the grumpy old man. You have to constantly adjust your opinion of the characters as the film progresses. Highly recommended.
Slumdog Millionaire: Definitely a good film, kept me entertained. Some of the "nastier" parts were a bit unexpected though. Also it was hard to hear what was being said at times (a few mumbled lines which were tricky to catch, especially with the accents). Worth watching though.
