I have seen 7 of these, and I will have to bypass Aliens and T2 and say Titanic.

(yesterday) Brothers 7/10 I will sit through any Jim Sheridan film - acknowledging that he has good ones and bad ones. Very good acting by the kids. Unfortunately this was another Propaganda film (see The Hurt Locker), so it was a great relief to go see... (today) Avatar 10/10 CGI-based films do no...

Cider With Rosie by Laurie Lee. A friend mailed this and it's follow-up, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, to me. I had never even heard about him.
Next up, Queen Camilla by Sue Townsend.

I have only seen three of these. The Canadian film, J'ai tue ma mere, got a bunch of attention in Cannes and has won several festival prizes - recently one at the Vancouver International Film Festival. Mother from S. Korea (from Joon-ho Bong: Memories of Murder, The Host) and Letters To Father Jaco...

I have finally seen the last of these and can vote properly. Saw Rachel Getting Married last evening and it was excruciating! I can't remember seeing a movie was more unbearable. Rosemarie DeWitt was it's saving grace as one of the only actors to actually stay in character for the whole film. Fortu...

In Bruges 8/10

Colin Farrell deserved that GG. Wish I had seen this in the theatre.

Penelope wrote:Shannon plays the character all on one note. There was no depth to the character in the book and none in the movie.

Just saw RR this evening. Where did that nomination come from? I was expecting much more from the performance.

I knew that I was not going to be able to remember who was who so I just sat back and enjoyed it.

I meant post-nomination. Using LD and NK as examples was confusing. Big Magilla is correct, she is not one to pick one over the other. But if she was looking at losing both would she be able to put out a message through the grapevine?

Of these I am proud to say that I have only seen RocknRolla and my guilty pleasure was JCVD.

If DiCaprio put out the word that he wanted to be nominated for Blood Diamond and not The Departed - and Nicole Kidman did a similar thing choosing Moulin Rouge over The Others - could Kate Winslet not let it be known that she would prefer one nomination over the other were she to be nomninated for...

Also, Gomorrah is eligible this year for awards. I thought the rule allows it to be elegible for the following year if it complies with the screening regulations. Or does that only apply id it is an official nominee? I seem to remember some discussion like this regarding In The Mood For Love.
