and the oscar goes to...


as usual, i wanted to put up my blurb for my pic to the best film of the year. i am going to have to say "frost/nixon." truly an amazing film. i have to say that prior to seeing this movie i had little to no interest in president nixon, or the nixon interviews. after seeing the film, i have since spent countless hours trying to narrow down books to read and documentaries to watch.


i haven't seen "milk" or "slumdog millionaire"...if you have and have an opinion of them good or bad...leave a comment, i would LOVE to hear your thoughts. movies down in these parts are muy expensivo, so we have to choose wisely!


but, "frost/nixon" really is an awesome film, and much easier to watch than "no country for old men." oh, how i LOVE "no country for old men"!


i am also putting in my plug for mickey rourke in "the wrestler". this movie was SPECTACULAR! i am so sad that it wasn't nominated, but really, it is an amazing film. probably one of the best i have seen (in 2009)! i am actually quite torn between my winners for the leading male role...i love sean penn, i loved frank langella and i cannot put into words how incredible mickey rourke was.


i love award season...i am so excited to watch the show tonight...


and the oscar goes to...

"milk" is extraordinary. sean penn deserved the award, a great actor. i, too, heard that mickey rourke played the hell out of the wrestler without a hint of melodrama, complete sincerity. i want to see frost/nixon, looks spellbinding! and how much do we love kate winslet??????!!!!!
