I'm dense. What are the two reasons?

Wolfman has restored my faith in Universal Studios' ability to release a GREAT horror movie, I absolutely loved it from start to finish. Many moments that made people gasp or jump in their seats, great tension (and some killer gore to go with it).

We've been trying our best to see Oscar-nominated films. Last week we saw Avatar and Ingorious Basterds. I am not a big Tarantino fan, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed that particular film.

We're going to try to see Princess and the Frog tonight at DTD, and we have our Netflix-ed A Serious Man to watch.

That just leaves three for best picture. An Education I really want to see and it's playing in Manhattan Beach. The Blind Side I don't really have much interest in. And Precious I don't want to see, but feel like I should because if I do then we will have seen all the best director nominees.

Sigh.

Seeing Crazy Heart last night means I've now seen:

4 of 5 Best Actor. Jeff Bridges did not sway my personal vote for Clooney in Up in the Air. But I still expect Bridges will win.

4 of 5 Best Supporting Actor. Maggie Gyllenhaal is not in the running for me. I'd vote Mo'Nique.

3 of 5 Best Original Song. I didn't like the music in the Princess and the Frog so I'll throw my vote behind The Weary Heart.

The first would be yet another misuse of "your". I'm assuming the other is that she thought you were making a reference to The Apprentice. Cause Donald Trump invented the phrase "You're fired".

Ok, the first one was on purpose, but I wasn't thinking of The Apprentice when I said it.

Given the changes and omissions, I think that the assumptions are one-and-done for Percy Jackson.

I thought Jeff Bridges was great. I tend to put George Clooney in the "always plays himself" category, which is not to say he doesn't have his appeal. In the category of doe-eyed alien-headed women, I'll take Vera Farmiga over Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Finally saw Princess and the Frog. There were definitely things I liked. That bit of animation where she's singing about her restaurant with her mom was great. I actually liked that the soundtrack was more cohesive and less random song-like.

But where was the wooing? It's a princess movie. There was supposed to be wooing. It's like they spent so much time in animal story land that they forgot about the wooing. That might work for the Lion King, but this was a princess happily-ever-after movie and that requires wooing.

Woo woo!

(sorry - the drink was a little strong tonight.)

Just got back from Shutter Island, and while it's not top shelf Scorsese, (I spent an awful lot of time looking at the directorial flourishes rather than getting absorbed by the narrative), it's moody, intriguingly convoluted, and I thought Leo DiCaprio did a fine job in it.

I don't think it will have much repeat value for me, though. It's a two and a half hour journey that doesn't end up being terribly credible. And I'm not sure everything adds up, or is even meant to. But, eerie fun.

random observation - Within the first few seconds of the film, I recognized Gyorgi Ligeti's composition "Lontano," which was also featured heavily in The Shining. Also, a very early shot of a car driving along a road shot from above at a very wide angle felt to me like a deliberate tribute to that same film.
