Anx said: Bring a book! Exactly. I have no idea how The Departed, Leonardo Dicaprio or Scorsese got nominated. The movie was not that good. On the other hand, Babel kicks much ass. | |

I for one really want to see a lot of the moives listed like "Departed", "Last King of Scottland" and "Little Miss Sunshine". | |

On the other hand, Babel kicks much ass.I've heard the exact opposite from critics ("Babel" kind of sucked..."Depated" one of the best of the year). When it comes to the serious stuff, I tend to agree. | |
