As far as I can tell yes it's the Twitter one, if so you must keep it to 140 characters.
There are a couple on Twitter so you can get the idea.
Here's one just to give an idea:
The Hobbit: Not too long, beautifully shot, great acting. Nice set pieces with soaring music to complete Tolkiens vision.
Just a clarification, this competition is not associated with the twitter one (which ended yesterday), although we have the same 'review a movie' mechanics but this one is purely for community members as we have a separate Sony Xperia T to give away. Hope that's helpful

Since I hate my iPhone 5 now I shall make an effort:D
This means war
A great movie with a novel use of the spy genre, full of action, romance and a happy ending. Should keep both genders entertained:)
Total recall (remake)
While this was heralded as a remake it shines of its own accord. Fresh CGI and cinematography bring this classic boys movie into the 21st century.
Lockout
Simply put amazing! My favourite action flick of this year I guarentee it will be yours as well. A new prison has been built, this one dwells in orbit around earth. Great action scenes and some wonderful comedy bring this movie to the top of my list. Guy Pearce and maggie grace on screen chemistry is simply outstanding. They really seem the part. A prison break, explosions, romance, comedy, horror(not that scary) and a token physcopath(what else could you ask for?)makes this movie my greatest reccomendation of 2012.

The Warriors 1979
A true 70's cult classic that has stood the test of time, Love, violence and the funk of the era brings Greek History, 70's swagger and a look into the future of gangland New York City.
The Coney Island Warriors have to fight for there lives back from the Bronx with every Gang in New York City baying for blood.
I dare you to watch it and not want to say the famous lines......
'Warriors come out to play- I- ay'
Or
'Suckers, Can you dig it?

One of my all time favourite films is "The Devils Advocate" (1997).
It is based on a book written by Andrew Neiderman. The film stars Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino and Charlize Theron.
Reeves plays a hot shot lawyer who joins a New York firm to better his career but gets more than he bargained for when he realises his new boss is somewhat "different".
Reeves' wife, played by Charlize Theron gets a very rough deal and religious balance is attempted by Reeves' mother (Judith Ivey) who is the only person to initially catch on to Pacino's real identity.
If you are into tense thrillers and horror mixed with emotional torture this one is definitely for you....
Rated R.
