Oscar watch 2008

Award season is almost here... seems like there are no front runners thus far.

That's not to say there aren't great movies out there, quite the contrary.

So many great movies this year. What stands out? Make your picks...

-HECK!

'No Country For Old Men' is by far my favorite movie of the year. I was just completely engrossed in this flick.

'American Gangster' was really good. I enjoyed it. What it might of lacked in substance if made up for in a great performance by Russell Crowe. Denzel was kind of uneven, I wasn't that impressed with his portrayal.

I wouldn't be surprised if both are nominated for Best Picture. I would be floored if No Country For Old Men wasn't nominated, actually.

I am really looking forward to see Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Phillip Seymor Hoffman in 'Charlie Wilson's War'. From what I've read this could be a contender.

Still have to see 'Gone, Baby, Gone', '3:10 To Yuma' and 'The Assasination Of Jesse James...'

-HECK!

Shit, I haven't seen any of the flicks you mentioned yet. I have American Gangster at home, so I may check it out.

So far I can't think of any brilliant flicks I've seen this year.

Check Gangster, let me know what you think.

If you get the chance, see No Country.

-HECK!

Think I will. It's definitely not out here, so unless I can get a DVD-quality version I won't really bother. If it's a good movie, I prefer to watch it with a killer, sharp picture.
