MOTION PICTURES:
Picture, Drama:
”Babel,” really want to see this film, especially intrigued about the interconnectedness and the setting of Morocco
”Bobby,” appreciate this film being made now with our present day unpopular war, but it is so cliche and schlocky but what hollywood craves
”The Departed,” surprisingly enjoyed this sausage festival, but not award worthy in my opinion
”Little Children” Lorne and I have been wanting to see this film since it was here for the Film Festival, will try to go see it soon, probably what I hope will win but won’t
”The Queen” amazing performance, not my fave though
Actress, Drama:
Penelope Cruz, ”Volver”; Have yet to see this film, but I adore Almadavar, his complex multi-faceted scripts and characters, and I like the fact that Penelope is back in a Spanish film
Judi Dench, ”Notes on a Scandal” Saw a preview that pretty much gave this film away, but intrigued nonetheless, she’s always good
Maggie Gyllenhaal, ”Sherrybaby” I loved her in everything including Stranger than Fiction, she is so beautiful in a real real way, rooting for her
