White Sox Josh Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Saw My Blue Heaven and loved it. It is really really funny. Steve Martin is hysterical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 'King Kong' C+, not bad considering Jack Black is in it. Am I the only one who thinks that special effects in general are actually getting worse, or not better or not any more realistic?? 'Munich' B-, I'd heard that this film was a flop, I couldn't tell. 'Brokeback Mountain" A-, don't knock it til you've seen it. This might be the sleeper come Oscar time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar Nomination and so does Michelle Williams. With that being said it was a B- Movie. I really like Ang Lee however I thought this was one of his worst films he made. It was a decent movie just not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPOILER: My only gripe with Mountain is once we realize that it was not a 1 time affair, we never really see what it is about each character that draws them to one another. What do they see in one another? What is the attraction that lasts so long? It's still an A- overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting though. The Big Problem I have is that the Academy rarely nominates films that were released in January-June. That is a problem for films like Crash and Sin City. Both of those films had they been released in November or December would be big players for Best Picture and Mickey Rourke would have a great chance at Best Supporting Actor in Sin City. I still think that if Crash does get nominated it has a good chance of winning but that is a big if. Look at Kill Bill Vol.2. That was released in April. Had it been released in November or December I think it would've been nominated for Best Picture and David Carandine wouldn't of been robbed of a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Off topic but I still think Adam Sandler was robbed of an Oscar Nomination for Punch Drunk Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Bill vol.2 was a masterpiece. Crash will be looked at and be considered for Best Picture (lock for best supporting actor). Sin City will probably get some technical awards.

I think he means how you are always saying actors and actresses should be nominated for this and that just because you like their performance. They seem to get ''robbed'' alot to you. You could always make up some awards show that everyone wins. Then everyone will be happy and the world will be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I love all those movies and I think Crash is probably currently my second favorite move of all time but I'm trying to be a realist. Sin City was never going to get any kind of recognition at the Oscars for anything other than Special Effects, it just wasn't that good. Kill Bill was way too wacky for the Oscars and Crash's lack of recognition at the Globes probably illustrates its small potential at the Oscar's outside of its screenplay. However, perhaps it will and I hope it will get a Best Picture nod. I also strongly doubt it will get a supporting actor nomination, there were too many good performances, no one stands out above the others, I'm not sure why Dillon was nominated for an award. What did Dillon do better than Howard? Sorry for being hostile. Edited December 27, 2005 by KipWellsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
