And V-Knowledge, be warned that Sally Hawkins is indeed every bit as annoying in "Happy Go Lucky" as she is in the trailer, but I didn't mind it because that was clearly Mike Leigh's point ... As he slowly makes her adapt to the reality around her (and vice versa), it slowly gets more and more interesting ... and I just hate "Cars" too!Reel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-48743894162837859962009-01-14T13:26:00.000-05:002009-01-14T13:26:00.000-05:00I do think The Dark Knight will get an Oscar nod f...I do think <I>The Dark Knight</I> will get an Oscar nod for best film and I have a feeling that <I>Slumdog...</I> won't get a best picture nomination but will surely get one for best director.

Hawkins' character looks a mite too annoying for my tastes, but the film has been getting some good acclaim. So I dunno.<BR/><BR/>Colin Farrell deserves the win, and I'm glad to see "In Bruges" getting due props, along with "Slumdog". <BR/><BR/>And "Up" looks like another Pixar winner.

The Evan Rachel Wood scene was horrible and besides the physicality of the part, I felt like Rourke was ACTING the whole time. (Not to mention Marisa Tomei who was confused showing her breasts with acting). Outside of an interesting first act, the 2nd and 3rd were just standard reunion flick. I really expected to like the film . . . I can't believe it was so boring.jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313206057933336246noreply@blogger.com
