I got 3 (I peeked) and T or C.

I knew #2 but couldn't recall it at the time.

I should have got #5. I've been there and seen it for darn sake but for some reason I got locked in to Austin, Texas.

I got 2/3 of #8. I forgot all about "Joe versus the Volcano" but then again so did everybody else. It wasn't the most memorable movie that I've ever seen.
