Cheers mate.
I like the look of limitless.
This might sound silly but is there many sexy scenes in it? You would not believe where I have 14 stitches.

If you are indeed, the greatgonzo, the only thing big enough for 14 stitches will be your nose

Seriously, get well soon and I can highly recommend "Insidious". Got to be the most creepy, jump factor film I have ever seen

TV Series
The Sopranos - all 86 episodes are essential viewing and also Breaking Bad , which has another season to run.
Homeland also looks promising.
Underbelly - The initial episodes were crackers

Movies
War Horse
Sherlock Holmes 2
The Avengers
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Limitless
Sexy Beast
A space Odyssey 2010
The Grey
Ben Hur - The chariot race remains the best ever movie scene for me

I think you mean the remake starring Kurt Rusell.

This is the original.
