It takes me months if not years to catchup with these Oscar movies. Slumdog Millionaire...somewhat entertaining but I'd never watch it again. Way too far-fetched for my tastes. It got a lot less interesting as the film progressed.

I watched TimeCrimes last night. A very entertaining Spanish Sci Fi thriller. You know what's going on and you're completely confused all at the same time. Only 4 charcters in the entire film. The beginning is thrilling, the middle is intense, and the ending is a bit confusing. I enjoyed it.

Apparently, David Cronenberg is making a US remake, even though this just came out a few months ago.

We watched Fan Boys last weekend. It was slap stick and silly and the plot was weak, but we had a lot of fun with it. We both have enough Star Wars/Star Trek nerdery that we were able to both understand and laugh at the ways it makes fun of fanatics. If you're in the mood for some brainless fun and don't expect a cinematic masterpiece, this can be a fun movie.

I also enjoyed the Pitt/Nazi bastard movie. Just got back and I thought it was great.

I Love You, Man isn't hilarious like the Hangover or anything, but it's fairly funny and Paul Rudd is awesome in it, and I'm trying to say 'Totes McGotes' as much as possible now.

I think "Inglorious Basterds" might have been Tarantino's best yet. He paid homage to about a billion different films and film styles in it but it all meshed together. I forgive him for "Death Proof".

I highly recommend Taking Woodstock. Excellent performances, beautifully photographed, and it captures the chaos of what it must have been like to stage a major rock festival in a small town. Very funny, too.
