There Will be Blood!

[media_girl18]

    I went on a date with my boyfriend last night to see There Will be Blood! (because nothing says romance like violence and pessimism, haha;))  I was so happy I got to see it, as I've been waiting and waiting for it come to my local movie theater so I could go and watch it!  Having gone to see two movies in the past two weeks at the movie theater

I haven't seen There Will Be Blood, but I am looking forward to it! If it ever comes to my theater! lol I did read most of your review and it sounded really good

Ooh, I just read the Oscar nominations this morning in the New York Times (because I'm just geeky like that). Marion is nominated! I definitely hope she wins. The New York Times says she was one of the two that was really in contention to get the award, though, so I'm hopeful. I agree that she was amazing in "La Vie En Rose". The way she pulled off the singer's mannerisms was surprising..especially once you have seen the pictures of what she normally looks like (not much like the singer). She was so convincing and heart-breaking in her role. I can't imagine them giving it to anyone else..honestly, I haven't seen too many good actress performances lately

I'm very excited Marion is nominated! I was nervous for her because her film was foreign, but yay! I can't wait for the Oscars! Seeing as Ellen Page hasn't really won anything for Juno, I really hope the voters aren't going to give her the Oscar. I heard it was really good movie, but from what I've seen, Ellen doesn't match up against Marion. Marion was flawless as Edith Piaf.

I really like Michael Clayton. When I saw the movie I was kind of on an adrenline rush, so I was so hyped up during the movie and I thought it was really boring. Soon afterwards though I realized it was good. Despite the fact that I have a crush on George Clooney, I thought he was great. I love Javier, but I thought Tom Wilkinson gave more of a performance. And, I'll take Tilda Swinton over Cate Blanchett any day! lol

I am really surprised Keira and James weren't nominated! I saw a lot of people were replaced for other actors and I was a little taken back about not seeing them there. I haven't seen Atonement yet, but I heard great reviews about both of them.

I love George Clooney, so I suppose I am biased towards "Michael Clayton", as well.:)Oh, and Tilda Swilton should be nominated, I think (I can't remember if she is or not, but I thought she was right up there with Tom Wilkinson's character).

As for Keira and James not being nominated, I think it's harder to get respect for romance movies like theirs. The Oscars don't tend to appreciate romance type movies that much.

Hahahaha...if only they had write-ins, right?

I should get best actress, then! Or perhaps best extra. I actually got be one in a indie film called "Misconceptions"..hah, there goes my two milliseconds of fame.

Hmm, I think I like this movie; I'm gonna have to see it some time =3

[media_girl18]

Aww, you definitely should! It's not violent for violent's sake or anything. It's really very intelligent. Between the acting and plot twists, my jaw just kept dropping during it.:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
