Normally, I wouldn’t give a shit and I wouldn’t even watch it. BUT THIS IS A NEW YEAR. So I am going to see some of them and make my predictions…because I kicked ass on the people choice awards.

Iron Man *really enjoyed it*
WALL-E *was ok*
Kung Fu Panda *bit disappointed, but I love Jack Black so all is forgiven*
Australia *OMG I want those 3 hours of my life back please*
I have only watched The Dark Night. We have Iron Man but I haven’t watched it yet. Oh wait, I have seen Wanted too!
I loved Iron Man! Haven’t seen many animated movies this year.
I haven’t watched the Dark Night yet…his death is still too painful for me. *sigh*
LOVED BENJAMIN BUTTON! Watched it tonight. I also watched Slumdog Millionaire. GREAT film.
Excited about the ones I have set to come on Netflix. I might be able to knock a few out this weekend too. I love the internet.
I saw Australia and really enjoyed it. DO I think it is Oscar worhty No most of the movies out today are not that awsome. The Razzies tend to be more dead on that anything.
Benjamin (liked it too!) and Wall-E on video, pretty amusing.
I only saw four, which is actually a record for me! I usually only see one, if any.
Benjamin Button – even though my bum was numb from sitting so long, it made me cry and think.
Milk – sean penn truly surprised me. in a good way.
The Duchess – costuming is fab-u-lous. sad story though.
Wanted – another surprise. in a good way.
I’ve seen 8 of those movies. Wanted wasn’t great, hated Benjamin Button (I want that time back please), didn’t like Wall-E, Dark Knight was good, Doubt was interesting (I really like Meryl Streep’s character, there was something odd about the priest), Iron Man was fabulous, Frost/Nixon held my attention the entire time although I must admit people never cease to amaze me. What a clueless twit Nixon was. Tropic Thunder sucked completely. What that probably means in terms of Oscar worthiness is that Benjamin Button will probably win alot and Tropic Thunder will get something too. Because I never, and I do mean NEVER like the movies that win Oscars!
I so need a Kristine post………..one that is from the gut…..bring it on sister.
Ben Button – long but very good
Milk – amazing
Frost/Nixon – So damn good, I <3 Frank Langella
