1. Used part of my day off to go see The Men Who Stare at Goats. It was awfully dull. Performances were ok but I'm struggling to understand why anybody thought this needed to be a movie.
2. 20 animated films have been formally submitted for Oscar consideration meaning that for just the second time since the award was created there will be five Best Animated Picture nominees (3 or 5 is determined by number of candidates not quality of candidates). The possibilities are:

Astro Boy
Battle for Terra
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Coraline
Disney's A Christmas Carol
The Dolphin – Story of a Dreamer

The Missing Lynx
Monsters vs. Aliens
9
Planet 51
Ponyo
