I loved ADAPTATION. I'm about to watch LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, either tonight or tomorrow.


Movies I want/plan to see before the Oscars:
1. LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA
2. THE DEPARTED
3. BABEL
4. CHILDREN OF MEN
5. FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS
6. HALF NELSON

If my calculations are correct, all but LETTERS and CHILDREN will come out on DVD before the Awards.

If anyone has any other suggestions or advice, it would be much appreciated. I've already seen UNITED 93 and PAN'S LABYRINTH isn't out in my city yet.

I will say I was really disappointed by Pan's Labyrinth. It didn't strike me as nearly as imaginitive as I was lead to believe, and the fantasy bits as I told some friends "played out like a series of bad WoW quests." I really regret dragging friends to see it with me. Technically it was well made, stylistically and the directing and cinematography and all that, but...I expected a lot more. Just my two cents.

Oh, and to the subject at hand, the only of the nominated films I saw was Little Miss Sunshine, so I'll be pulling for it no matter how unlikely I think it is to win. It's special.

Sadly, it's probably not gonna win, not with "The Departed" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" out there. "The Queen" wont win either, though it should be a lock for best actress.

I'm surprised "Babel" got so many nominations after all the mixed reviews it got. It could be like "Crash" last year.

...At least give some of the other nominees a shot. Who knows, you may like one of them better, even a lot more. To each their own, but I hope you don't vote in elections that way

Oh, I WANT to see all of them, LMS was the only one I had gotten around to so far (and as it happens, I haven't voted in any elections yet, I just turned nineteen and I haven't registered ;p)

lol, I turned eighteen just two days before the election and didn't get a chance to vote. No matter, almost everyone I would have voted for won.
