Just saw The Last Station. Nothing spectacular, but not horrible either. Helen Mirren and Christpher Plummer are sufficient but I think others deserved their spots. The score was sometimes very enjoyable. How many Oscar-bait movies can James McAvoy star in before he gets the attention his agents ar...

I can cross two off my list... Up...I'm giving it a C. I enjoyed the first half, but I found the second half boring and unnecessary. Would have been a worthier short film. The Messenger...Probably will make my BOTTOM 10. I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes that many times. It's a shame that the ...

Not too much to see... The Messenger The Last Station Fantastic Mr Fox Up The Secret of Kells Coco Before Chanel Il Divo Paris 36 Bright Star The Princess and the Frog All Docs, Shorts and Foreign Last Station and The Messenger come next week. I was going to see Fantastic Mr Fox today (its only at ...

A Single Man only scored for Colin Firth. Boo. I don't think Julianne Moore campaigned at all, which may have made the difference, giving an undeserving Gyllenhall a chance to sneak in on the coattails of a good movie. The best scores of the year got left out as per the usual-A Single Man and the I...

I think I will go ahead and post my predictions; I doubt they will change too much until nomination day...

Hey everyone! I don't get to log on much these days. Maybe soon I'll stop being mysterious. Thanks for the birthday well wishes. I did have a lame birthday; it was to be expected. But I will tell you that logging on and seeing that I had a happy birthday post from you all made me smile, and that's ...

Hi everyone. Yeah, I'm not ok. I still haven't added anything up. I really haven't access to much of the world around me for a couple of weeks now. Sorry for ruining the game and I'm glad someone did the math. My scoresheets are at home and I'm not at home but when I get there I will double-check e...
