The only other thing I mentioned was the acting.<BR/><BR/>I just felt so involved with Gran Torino and especially The Wrestler. It was a slow-moving film that just sucks you in and beguiles you. It's one of those pitches by Bugs Bunny that moves so slowly that none of the players can hit it. You know, "one...two...three stikes, you're out!" And Slumdog was a fastball thrown right at my noggin.Dead Serioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01072762590664103691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133703.post-61915321562347305812009-02-23T13:33:00.000-05:002009-02-23T13:33:00.000-05:00The Visitor was great (minus the overtly stupid po...The Visitor was great (minus the overtly stupid political message) - I would have loved for Mickey Rourke to win, alas the academy is enthralled with straight men playing gays I guess. I haven't seen Slumdog, but loved Grand Tarino (although the kid was a pretty bad actor - Eastwood was awesome). <BR/>The Oscars always disappoint - ever since Titanic won I no longer care who wins the best picture.PetiteDovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432997239343872750noreply@blogger.com
