"Things We Lost In The Fire". Good Oscar movie,as no one has seen it.

"Atonement" was just a horrible movie. Almost unintentional-comedy levels of pretension.

Oliver Stone may not be right in the head in part because he is a drunk. That may be why in 'Nixon' he had Nixon constantly holding a glass when in truth Nixon only drank a lot in the 'final days'.

Given Dubya's connection with the bottle in his youth expect much reference to his drinking, too.

OTOH I wonder what is his prediliction about making movies about only those Presidents with two children. Anybody know his sibling/children situation?

Also: "Rescue Dawn" is not just a good but a great movie. Did you see it? I'd be surprised if it wasn't on your list if you did...although it might be too quiet for you, who knows.

Steve, you really should take your wife to see "Juno." It starts a little wobbly with some overly pleased with itself dialogue, but then turns out to be quite clever and funny and kindhearted, with a shocking amount of sympathy for pro-lifers and unpretentious white working class guys (Juno's dad)-- people Hollywood is supposed to hate.

I agree: Cotillard and Brolin were a delight to watch. I liked him in "American Gangster" and "Planet Terror" too. Is there something else of his worth seeing, anybody?

Agree with anonymous on "Juno": The mannered dialogue grates on you at first, but gradually the film's honesty and intelligence win you over. I found the portrayal of the would-be adoptive young married couple especially good - Jason Bateman should up for a Supporting Actor Oscar.

Here's how I wanted 'Atonement' to end. The British interviewer doing the taping is played by Ricky Gervais and he says "wa--hang on. You mean...all this was true? You mean you actually did all that and then you didn't tell anybody the truth until sixty bloody years later in the form of a bloody novel?? And on top of that they're actually dead?? [looks to camerman] Are you getting this? This is mental!"
