Currently Getting Into...


One of the greatest war movies ever made, a front-runner for this year's Best Picture Oscar. Even if the film doesn't win that, I certainly hope Bigelow wins Best Director; she'd de the first woman to ever do so.


I didn't like "Titanic", but the rest of the world apparently did (it still stands as one of the all-time highest-grossing films at the box office). The whole world loves "Avatar" too, it seems- unadjusted for inflation, the film has joined "Titanic" on that list too. But whatever your opinion of the two films, director James Cameron is a genius. In ten years time, we will still be talking about this film.


Call it a throwback film if you will,  but "An Education" is one of those films that will have you going down memory lane if you were alive during the time period (the 60's) and location (London) it is set. If like me, you aren't, you'll appreciate how detailed the sets are. Everyone here is in fine order, especially Carey Mulligan who I hope will walk away with the Best Actress Oscar come March.
