I am always so negligent to post in here. I hope to make that a successful New Year's Resolution in 2011. Anyway, I had the privilege of being away for 32 days in China and I just returned November 28. No one I know was interested in coming with me, and I asked many people. I made it clear that peo...

This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of going to this theatre. I was visiting friends in the DC area and Sunday we film aficionados wanted to check out this movie theatre because so many people told me it is the best theatre to see a movie in. I concur. It's immaculate, and I can't explain it, but ...

Was supposed to go to two screenings this weekend, but my date cancelled on me for the first one, so we only went to The Milk of Sorrow. This one ain't getting the gold - Trust me. SPOILERS BELOW: A potato is placed in the protagonist's vagina as birth control and capillaries have attached to it an...

So far have seen The White Ribbon and Ajami... I would say neither of these films are worthy of the award. A nomination - yes... the win, no.

Anyone have any thoughts on what will win?

My vote would have gone to Tom Cruise for Magnolia. He actually was an actor in that movie. And he was magnetic.

I have just been invited to view two films at the Academy Screenings at The Lighthouse. Anyone ever been? What should I expect?

I am very excited. Am seeing El Secreto de Sus Ojos and The Milk of Sorrow.

Thanks!

Heksagon, I fully disagree with your comments. Angelina Jolie was very deserving of her Oscar in a sub-par film. The same would be applied to Denzel in Training Day . Brilliant performance, two-star film. It is about the performance. That is what the category is judging. The only categories when th...

Also, The Green Goddess (1930) is on 2/4 at 6:00. I have already set the DVR for this so I won't miss it as I missed My Son John (I can't BELIEVE I did that. I have seen so little of Helen Hayes and I know Robert Walker's grandson so I especially wanted to see this!)

Oscar to Tommy Lee Jones? I know that DDL was hands down a huge favorite blah blah blah everyone was amazed by him and, I admit, he gave a WONDERFUL performance. I really was totally taken in by the whole thing and he was a viciously compelling character. BUT I recently saw In the Valley of Elah an...

It always takes me so much longer to read a book than it should. I often wonder if I have ADD because I am constantly putting my books down and picking them up again, and yet I LOVE reading. So far in 2010, I finished Hopscotch (I began it in late 2009), and am now working concurrently on The Mosle...

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED MY SON JOHN. This has been on a list of movies I must see for a few years now. Do we think that TCM will incorporate this into their regular cycle? I think they did that last year or two years ago with A Foreign Affair and some other film that has a one-word title about a c...

Was it a surprise the beautiful Terms of Endearment score didn't win? I just listened to it and can't imagine The Right Stuff beating it.

In the movie Howards End, there is a scene where Leonard Bast goes home to his wife (this is about in the middle of the movie) and I think what happens is they go to bed together but he is clearly no longer interested in her. The camera leaves the bed and goes out their window (I think). Some beaut...
