I watched A Single Man Thursday night and Magnolia yesterday.
Never had seen either one.

I'm not sure what I think the best picture of the year is... but it's not The King's Speech (IMO).
Firth absolutely deserves the Oscar. Dude is amazing. He takes what could have been just a mediocre movie and makes it a damn good movie. Rush, I actually wasn't as impressed with as I expected to be. My expectations were high. He's good, but... I haven't see The Fighter yet, but from what I've heard Bale really deserves this one. |

Sure. He always is. But I feel like I've seen him perform at a higher level. But then, as I said, my expectations were high. Maybe unfairly so. People had been pumping him up so much for so long before I saw the performance.
And I'm certainly not saying he's bad. He's not. He's really solid. He does his job. But I didn't see the above and beyond that I'm used to from Rush. |

I haven't seen a lot of the other movies, but he was definitely Nomination worthy. I wouldn't be surprised if he won it. |

Watched "Let me in" last night. Really enjoyed it.
it is NOT a horror movie. More of a suspense film....with a bit of love story thrown in. A nice, pure, indie-type suspense/mild-horror film.

I liked both but loved neither.
WRT: Magnolia: Once I saw the raining frogs I remembered the scene just from the zeitgeist. The film meshed its disparate parts together well, but those interweaving elements were a bit predictable.

The Loosers, adventure based on the comic book. If I paid money to see this pile of horseshit someone would have to pay with their life.

Maybe Bale isn't that great. Maybe my expectations are too high for that performance as well. I'm not trying to take away from what Rush did at all. I'm just saying I've seen him do better. So, I won't be surprised if he doesn't win. |
