In reply to Dave Palmacci. Thanks for agreeing with me, but you were actually agreeing with Justin on this one, his article.

I have to agree with Rob about Babel. This movie, although not perfect, brought up a lot of western meets eastern aesthetics that flew over a lot of people’s heads. The concept is what I loved about this movie, but most critics only focused on the execution of that concept, can’t blame em though it’s all in the execution. Brad Pitt is one of these actors that needs to stay away from mainstream crap movies. He really shines when he is given these side movie lead roles; Snatch, Babel, Legends of the Fall, etc.

The Dark Knight imo should have won Best Picture, not because we’re all bias comic geeks, but because that movie will be reviewed and watched in future film history classes as a symbol of our time. So many parallels to the United States in that movie.

In reply to Doug Clinton.

I’ve seen “Million Dollar Baby”…eh. My pick that year would have been “Finding Neverland”.

In reply to Doug Clinton. My apologies. I thought he had won for "Before Night Falls", but it was just a nomination. Part II coming up soon!

Dude, Javier Bardem won an Oscar for “No Country for Old Men”, so he wasn’t bringing any pre-Oscar cred to that one. As for “Million Dollar Baby”, let me know what you think when you actually see it, ‘cuz I have zero desire to watch it. Looking forward to part 2!
