What is the best movie of 2009?

Moon with Sam Rockwell is by far the best film of the year, if not the decade. Brilliant. Jo, Barnsley

Exams

Why do so many teachers insist on wearing high heels? I mean, isn't the whole point of an exam to have quiet so we can concentrate? High heels and a wooden floor don't make the quietest noise, especially when they walk around the hall every two minutes like a certain teacher did today in my exam. Didn't even attempt to walk quietly.

Oh no, it's alright for them, isn't it?

And frankly, he should never have been wearing heels in the first place.

Moon discovery

Will miss Vortex when it's gone. Two classic films I've found this year because of the Vortexters are Moon and Let The Right One In. There's also a lot of others I'm going to look up because of your readers. So long, and keep watching. Lee, Birtley

New Moon is a brilliant film. Great fright scene between the vampires. Lots of muscles from the wolves and a surprise ending. I'm going to watch the film again. Mea, Cinderford

Favourite Asian films?

My favourite Asian films are i'm A Cyborg And Death Note. And at 12, I think I can take the youngest Vortexter crown. Evan, Coatbridge

I agree with Richard about Sudden Fury. If you like that you should check out Lucio Fulci's Contra. It's another violent gangster flick. Steven, Hexham

K- The film you describe sounds like The Sentinel. Karlos, Hull

Great Things About My Home Town- Newcastle

* The amount of black and white pride everywhere, it's so justified, don'tcha think?
* The amount of charvers; such great, civilised people.

Movie query solved

K- The movie is called The Manitou, starring Tony Curtis. Steve, Stockport

I'm reading a biography of James Stewart and he despised the colourisation of black-and-white films as a "terrible process", something to which I agree. How ironic then that the owners of It's A Wonderful Life have done this to con people out of money. I'm sticking to my black-and-white version. Peter, Saxmundham

Every Christmas morning I watch Polar Express then Alistair Sim's Scrooge. They set me up for the day. I will miss Vortex immensely so all the very best to you and the texters. "God bless us, every one." Sean, Welling

ATP worth the effort

Brown cover a classic

Ian Brown's new cover of Zager And Evans' In The Year 2525 was recently dismissed by a Voider but, for people of a certain age who like classic pop, it's a classic. My favourite cover was by Steve Strange of Visage. Andy Atwal

Any album of the decade should add At The Drive-In's Relationship of Command, which set a standard for intelligent rock music that no-one else has come close to. The Doc

Since most Ziners seem to be printed with a new addition to Poetry Corner, I thought I would attempt it:

Warrington has many factories and many dirty places
Even so, the people there always have clean faces.
Warrington is great,
my family live there
If you go near the soap factory
it's smelly, so beware.
I don't live in Warrington by the way.

PS is unique in how it connected with me as a music fan, with concise, good-humoured news and reviews. It made me discover a secret Hope of The States gig which, shortly after the death of a friend, couldn't have been more timely. "Keep your friends close." Petboy

Then they insist that they MUST talk to you, but they disappear without trace. Decent boys must have become extinct.

Bond's early years

People seem to be forgetting that Daniel Craig is playing early Bond. This is a Bond that is impetuous, impulsive and in many ways immature. He has not yet become the smooth and suave Bond he became later. You can't fairly compare Craig to Connery. I think Craig is doing a fine job and giving a new depth to Bond.

Why doesn't Rolf Harris ever win any awards? He's been around for decades, if not centuries. Everyone knows him, and loves him, with the possible exception of any serious artists.

Go on, give him an award. After all, he did help patch up Davord after that little... (incident).

Yours ingratiatingly,

His stitching left a lot to be desired, Davord still gets scabs.

The Antlers' new album Hospice isn't just my album of the year, but probably of the decade. Never had I had an album on repeat like this masterpiece. Anyone who likes dark, atmospheric and moving music should check it out, pronto. Paulie H

Penfold should buy The Big Pink's album A Brief History of Love. It's not all feedback-laden rock, there are some heartfelt songs which will tug at your heartstrings. Alan Ross

WLW

So you're the famous WLW, are you? I bet you're just a nerdy little 20-year-old man under all that glamour. I bet you have Star Trek parties every Friday night and discuss who is the best superhero.

No wonder you never do Zine on Saturdays. C'mon, WLW, tell us the truth... eh?

Pink Hairy Warthog

Nerdy little 20-year-old Trekkie? Coming from a pink hairy warthog?

Should Penfold buy The Temper Trap's album Conditions? Well, Sweet Disposition is an amazing song that any album would struggle to maintain. That said, the rest of it has a slow-burning quality. I'm going to miss PS, big style. Gazzoir

To warn Last FM users: If you put Le Sac Vs Pip on a playlist, Last FM insinuates you may also be a fan of Goldie Lookin Chain and Speech Debelle. My attorney has been informed. T Durden
