on Dec 12 2007 09:31 AM Just watched The Diving Bell and the Butterfly last night, and it was amazing. I hope the love from all of these critics circles gets this film some attention from real audiences. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 12 2007 09:47 AM I missed a special screening of Diving Belle a couple of weeks ago. It sure is getting a lot of attention. I did see There Will Be Blood last night and it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be but none the less it was pretty good. Better than No Country For Old Men but not as good as The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Daniel Day-Lewis though gave one hell of a performance though and hopefully he'll be recognized for that. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 12 2007 12:45 PM glad to see Jesse James getting some recognition, I loved that movie with a passion and I'm worried it's going to be overlooked because of all the other good movies this year, to me it's the best picture of the year so far (Reply to this) |
