Watch it again. I'm not sure why I didn't get it the first time, but still loved it. And then the second time everything clicked and I loved it more.

It was heavily character/acting driven. I really enjoyed it but didn't think that it quite lived up to the hype. The last 15 minutes or so had some very badass exchanges.

How Tilda Swinson won an Oscar for 10 minutes of predictability is beyond me. Well, actually not (voter pandering, gifts and so on) but what a joke. |

Best Supporting Actress * Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton o Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There o Ruby Dee - American Gangster o Saoirse Ronan - Atonement o Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone I'd have gone with Amy Ryan or Ruby Dee. Honestly, the field wasn't that strong. Tilda, while a good actress, didn't deserve an Oscar IMO for a role that could have been played just as easily by 20 other women off the top of my head. |

I watched The Counterfeiters last weekend but forgot to post it on this thread. It was really damn good and I would definitly suggest it is worth the rental even if you dislike subtitles.

I don't know if it's been mentioned or not but I purchased "The Bank Job" a few weeks back on one of those 4 for $20 deals and it was terribly disappointing. It took me 3.5 hours to get through a 2 hour movie.
B.O.R.I.N.G. And the accents were brutal for me. |

My expectations were really low on this one with all of the recent heist type of flicks but I ended up enjoying it. I am really worn out of the random band of guys setting up a complex robbery at this point and unfortunately it is kind of souring me on some of the classics.

But a story about Princess Caroline being a sex freak that perpetuates itself into the reason for the bank heist in 1971 was futile to me. Add to that, a lame soundtrack and score and no chemistry between Statham and anyone else, especially Saffron Burrows (or his wife). It just didn't work for me personally. |
