Until last night I was oblivious to the fact that Patton Oswalt is the voice of Remy in Ratatouille. That's odd.

I rented The Dutchess via Netflix. Yeech, what a crashing bore, beautifully costumed. I've come to the conclusion that Keira Knightly has the acting range similar to how Dorothy Parker categorized Kate Hepburn. "She runs the gamut from A to B."

That he was the voice or that you were oblivious?

Watched the original Bedazzled yesterday. Complete snooze-fest (almost literally though I think I warded off actual nap time). Mostly naked Raquel Welch was an all too brief distraction. The attempt at satire was more pointed than anything in the remake, but the most biting satire loses its edge if you're mostly asleep when it happens.

I didn't blame Kiera Knightly for the dullness of The Duchess since as far as I could tell watching it the script and direction simply never provided any justification for the moving having been made. It simply tells us she was an interesting person and assumes that was enough. I thought Knightly did well enough with what little she was given.

We watched Burn After Reading last night. Thoroughly enjoyed the film. The Cohen Brothers never fail to amuse me. Brad Pitt was by far my favorite of the men in the film - which was surprising since I usually really like Cloony and Malkovitch. Cohen always makes me want more Cohen.

Both, I guess, though I was referring to the fact that he was the voice. And by "odd" I mean that he is not the most obvious choice for a Pixar voice, and that one in particular. However he did an excellent job, so cheers to them on the casting.

Brad Pitt as a clueless dork. That was amazing. This was classic Cohen Bros. madness. They really deliver very consistently. ("Lady Killers" stands out in my mind as a rare disappointment.)

Sorry, Alex. You're wrong about Bedazzled. Now, if you made the same comments on the Cook/Moore take on The Hound of the Baskervilles...

Finally making my way through the Oscar nominees. Benjamin Button. What exactly was the point of that movie? It was well-filmed and decently acted, I suppose, but the script seemed... somewhat lacking. Anyone?
