Atonement

I must really not be a sucker for epic romances set in dramatic backdrops (The English Patient, for instance, bored me to tears). Found this overhyped, but good nonetheless. Joe Wright definitely deserved an Oscar nod for his direction, and James McAvoy was great.

Last movie seen in theatre

Just saw the new Rambo movie a few days ago. Very bloody, cheesy acting, brutal scenes.

It was actually fun.

Yet neither were recognized for their brilliance. It really is a pity. And I would have chosen Keira Knightley's performance (who is not nominated) over the little girl's (who is) any day of the week.



The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

The Crowd (1928)

Would like to see a version without the handheld camera. Like "The host".
You might be in luck. For the makers have decided to do a sequel to Cloverfield, touting the first movie's monster as "just a baby...a newborn."

Brilliance may be pushing it a bit for me, but they were good and overlooked.

I will not mention Keira Knightley for I am sure that blood will be spilt given your love for her. :p But true, I don't see why the little girl was nominated at all.
