Saw Little Miss Sunshine, which I enjoyed but don't see the massive outcry of affection for it as particularly logical. It is a solid ensemble comedy/drama and everyone is entertaining (Steve Carrell is particularly good) but it isn't the Best Picture I've seen in the last year, or ever. But I liked it. B.

And, um, watched Reindeer Games against my better judgment. Matt put something on that he could sleep through, but I watched. Ben Affleck was pretty blase, but it had a pretty strong performance by Charlize Theron, especially towards the end. Not worth the awful reviews it got either. B-.

Basically I think most films that get accolades across the grid and raked across the coals, probably are somewhere in-between.

I found Steve Carrell oddly attractive. I say 'oddly' because I had never noticed his looks before. I found his eyes just mesmerising. I can see why my Mother fancies him!

I have not seen Reindeer Games but then I'm not a huge Ben Affleck fan. I'm always willing to give things a go though!
I didn't think much of Charlize Theron until 'Monster' and she was amazing. So I may give this one a go now!

I think the only reason Little Miss Sunshine was nominated is because it was a comedy with just enough drama so that the academy could act like they accept comedies. I mean, it's actually a really sad movie. Although in the end they 'grow as a family', nothing good is going on in any of their lives.

I liked Alan Arkin but I think his performance was entirely overrated. It was like he was playing the senile equivalent to his role in Slums of Beverly Hills.
