Hey lobo??? I hope writers strike doesn't stop the Oscars.
I would love to read some reviews, what have you seen?
thank you.
i have slowed down (reviews), mainly because of being busy. but i watch more movies now than i ever have.
a lot of slow traffic on the movie board, so i tend not to put up reviews so much any more based on that.
i will throw up a list of good ones i have seen lately that i think you might want to try out.
though little miss didn't wint the best one, i knew the moment i saw it (way before any hype of an oscar) it would be an award type film.
it was so heartfelt and the score was magnificent....i truly love it.
I did pick An Inconvenient Truth. lol
I was very happy for Scorcese & Forest Whitaker.
I do want to say you were the first to tell us all about Little Miss Sunshine! I never would have seen it, were it not for your review! Alan Arkin was a nice surprise!
I thank you for the great reviews you put out all year long!
i think you were 5 out of 10...pretty good
3 of 11....not so bad, tough year for decision
4 of 7...not too shabby

LOL...how awesome is that. How long have you been playing tennis?
I would love to take that up.
Well if you are behind - then there is no hope for me! lol
Keep posting your pics and favs - our tastes in film are very similar!
PS - I am kicking butt in my sr. tennis league. maybe its because I'm the "kid" in the league at 51???? LOL
cool Joe. thanks, i'm getting behind in film as well.
saw Flyboys tonight....very good true story
Sorry bro - I am so far behind on the movie scene. Here in Maui, there aren't any really good theaters ( large screens, big fat sound etc) except for the IMAX type screen at the Maui Community college. We have yet to go there.
So far the only nominated movies I have seen are Inconvenient Truth, and Pirates. I only saw Pirates because is was playing on the plane on the way home from a biz trip - fwiw I liked it.
Would love to participate, but at this late date ,I would be guessing all the way.
I read your reviews of movies and put them on my netflix list by the way - so thanks for that!!!!!!!!!!
put this out a month ago. i don't feel there is a lot of interest to put it together. it would kind of be like giving it away.
no one responded to the alerts i put out, so unless people really start showing some interest i'll probably not do it.
and that is no problem for me, hard to get people excited about the movies.
i saw you liked Pans.....i'm so behind with work and the SB
been so cold, we have been watching movies at the house and a lot.
looking to see Last King of scotland and Pan's Lab...I will miss the queen can't see anything worth watching there..Still have to see Little MIss Sunshine..
Congrats to Little Miss Sunshine for their 4 nods......I hope they can pull an Oscar or two.
Congrats to Ryan Gosling for the Best Actor nod.....I have yet to see Half Nelson, but heard he is sensational.
I am going to catch up on my Oscar nominees this week. Looks like I need to go see The Queen, Dreamgirls, Little Children, Half Nelson, Letters From Iwo Jima and Pan's Labyrinth....then I am all caught up.
I will try to knock out at least 3 this week.

For this contest there is a point system per category.
The points are set up in somewhat of an importance factor. Basically this was done so that it would be harder to have a tie.
More details to soon follow, after nominations have been announced.
