Hehe... Well, when you see the movie, Uri, you know what I mean. It definitely IS a good - not great - performance, but it's mostly reaction shots, really. Unlike, say, Beatrice Straight in her winning performance, she doesn't have even just one scene which is really focused on her - though I admit...

No, Big Magilla. I saw the film and trust me: Michelle Williams will not win Best Supporting Actress this year. Impossible. It's simply not an "Oscar" role. She's good, she could maybe profit from the film's success with the Academy and get a nomination, but no Oscar in sight for her. Led...

I knew that such an innocent and (by European standards) tame movie would have made lots of Americans unconfortable (violence - on screen and in real life - doesn't seem to get the same kind of reaction from them, but this is another story). And the partially negative reaction from some openly gay ...

Of course I did prefer "Red Eye", Sonic Youth. By far. :)

What did you drink, Sonic Youth? "Red Eye" better than "Look at Me" and "Downfall"?! Ok, it's all subjective, but still...

... And you are right to look forward to seeing "Caché", Penelope. It's one of the best films I've seen this year.

From what I remember, they are never seen completely naked, but the sex scenes - at least in the original version which I saw and which will be shown in Europe - are quite explicit - they suggest anal sex, not just kissing and cuddling, though of course there's lot of this, too. But if it were just...

I saw "Brokeback Mountain" a few weeks ago, in a movie theatre in Rome. The reaction of the viewers (gay and straight) was the same as in Venice: a sustained, convinced, committed applause. I don't want to create too much expectation for a movie that I personally loved but that, I'm afrai...
