24) Worst/funniest movie accent ever - As much as i think Vincent D'Onofrio is a fine actor, i happened to glimpse part of a movie he was in on tv (i think it was Salt on the Skin.) He was trying for a Scottish accent, but to my (Scottish) ears it sounded part, Irish, Welsh, Australian, South African, Scandanavian, and a host of others. But not Scottish.

27) Name the three best movies you saw for the first time in 2010 (Thanks, Larry!)- nothing springs to mind so i'm going to cheat and name three movies i saw the previous year that weren't 2009 films that i saw for the first time; Lizstomania, Inside and The Yards.
