I LOVE this movie: AN EDUCATION ![]() Don't you love when you have incredibly high expectations for a film and when you finally see it, it meets them all? ![]() 16-year-old Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is on a clear path to Oxford University in pre-Beatles London when she meets the much older and more worldly David (Peter Sarsgaard) who introduces her to an intoxicating new life of art, music and sex. David seduces not only Jenny, but her protective parents as well, much to the dismay of the teachers at Jenny's school who perceive Jenny's enlightenment as wasted potential. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |

Well, not completely.

That's how I see most new films now. I don't think I've seen that many 2009 films either: Antichrist The Baader Meinhof Complex Coraline Departures Easy Virtue An Education (500) Days Of Summer The Girlfriend Experience The Girl From Monaco Gomorrah He's Just Not That Into You The Hurt Locker The Lemon Tree Moon Revanche Rudo Y Cursi Séraphine Summer Hours Taken Thirst Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Watchmen X-Men Origins: Wolverine More than I thought. ![]() | |

Might be the best movie I've seen this year. ![]() I agree, although I don't have much to compare it to. LOL But I have a feeling it would end up in the top 5 even if I'd seen all the movies that came out! | |

That's so weird because I just decided to see that movie tonight at the art house theater near my apartment. I didn't even realize that was an art film. I guess because Spike Jonze directed it. We'll compare notes tomorrow. | |

I think I was a lot like Max as a kid, it brought up feelings I had long forgotten. His acting was very good. It expressed the world and psyche of a child, and had real integrity in that sense. | |

I liked it, but not that much. ![]() The opening was Max just bouncing around the house with lots of energy and then the screen freezes with his face very close to the camera with the title Where The Wild Things Are in the movie's scratch writing next to him. Excellent! | |
