I thought Naomi Watts was at the top of her game and reminiscent of her work in Mulholland Drive after what I consider a couple of disasters (Painted Veil, The Ring Two). Michael Pitt was fanta...

Tough choice between Arkin and Clooney, who seemed to have reverted to his "head down-eyes up" style of brooding, *cough*, I mean acting. But ultimately I went with Arkin, who was nothing more than LMS's consolation prize (IMO, Screenplay was not quite sewn up). Also, I don't care for LMS...

Of the Live-Action choices, Tanghi Argentini was my favorite, scoring a B. My least favorites were My Love and The Tonto Woman. Pickpockets and pigeons were ...
