The Dish (PG-13)

Director: Rob Sitch
Starring: Sam Neill, Patrick Warburton

Memento (R)

Synopsis: A man and his wife are attacked and robbed. The woman dies, and the man is left with both a serious head injury that gives him memory loss, and an urgent thirst for revenge. As he sets off in pursuit of his wife's killer, he becomes increasingly confused about what he is doing, so he tattoos notes onto his skin and takes Polaroid pictures to remind himself of what has transposed. An intricate mystery with a backwards chronology, MEMENTO is written and directed by Christopher Nolan, based on a short story by his brother, Jonathan Nolan.

Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Guy Pierce, Carrie-Anne Moss

"Enemy At the Gates" should be the best thing since Tom Berringer showed us a thing or two in the blockbuster "Sniper"!

No, actually, he spelled/spelt it correctly. You can use both forms for past-tense "spell".

Spelt? It sounds like a spam with melted cheese sandwich. I vote 'spelled.'  What do you think?

I say let a person spell words the way they want and leave the fatuous comments to bounce around the walls of your useless head.

Spelt is UK, who use spelled to mean something else, and

"Spelled" is US, who use nouns as verbs anyway.
