It's one of those grim films that you have to feel up to in order to appreciate the great performances. But I didn't think the film itself was great--it let the wife off the hook more than the husband, I thought, though I'd be interested to see if a husband or guy felt the same.

You agree? I have been told by many not to see this movie, as I have lived it. You agree?

I'll probably try to catch Frost/Nixon and The Reader then. But see Milk and Slumdog. They're both great. I want to see Coraline, too, and in 3D, so I'm going to have to do it soon before it's just in conventional theaters. But I'm still in my Oscar push, so it'll have to wait. I keep wondering if 5yo Drake would be up for it, and thinking I'll get the book out to see.

Tony keeps urging me to watch it on Blu-ray with him, but I keep holding off because of how I cried quite a bit while watching it in the cinema. I have to be in the right mood to watch a movie I know will make me weepy, even if it is ultimately feel-good. So far I have seen a stunning 0 of the films that have been nominated for awards. I think the next film I want to see is Coraline... Ah yes, Wall E.

Yet. So far, Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, with Frost/Nixon, and The Reader to go. I may wait till 2/21 to see them, since AMC does a marathon of all the best pic nominees. I do feel I have probably seen the best movie of the year already. It was either Dark Knight or Wall E, neither of which got a best pic nod. I haven’t seen them all. Yet.
