Stuck in the middle of the pack. Ben Button was far superior and I have a HOST of others that were better IMO. I can't do the animated thing...Wall-E was no more moving or involving than say, Finding Nemo. Wall-E is not even close to the best film of the year. Stuck in the middle of the pack.

I still have to see Valkrye and Benjamin Button, so I haven't made my decision on what is the best. Even though I’ll be totally bitched at, The Dark Knight is so far the best.

I mean its a fine film and all and langella is amazing but three thimngs bugged me too much to truly enjoy it. 1. The faux documentary pieces to camera? Completely pointless and awkwardly handled. It was used as a device to explain things that just didn't need to be spelt out to us. They just tell us things we then see happen on screen to make sure we "get it" Terrible stuff. 2. This is minor but the woman he meets on the plane? She had been his girlfriend for over five years when he did the nixon interview 3. This is the biggest one for me. One of the biggest moments of the film, Nixons late night call to frost is one hundred percent entirely fictional. Its all made up. wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so important to how they choose to frame the story but that is a major major moment in this film and it never happened. I couldn't get over that. But howard always does that when he makes true stories. The changes he made to beautiful mind were even worse. Loved milk and slumdog though. Outstanding. Let the right one in is still film of the year for me. benjamin Button may beat it is it lives up to my pretty ridiculous expectations but until then Let The right One in all the way. Frost/Nixon is my biggest disappointment so far out of the “oscar” films.
