Cheers, Leslie!

Jennifer Lopez was almost an actress in Maid in Manhattan:  with Ralph Fiennes of The Reader, no less!

Like I said, what has Jennifer Lopez ever done to be called an actress?

Meanwhile, Jake sort of stumbled through some Benjamin Button announcement.

Heath won the best supporting actor award and Chris Nolan accepted it. Sigh....

Slumdog just came out here on Friday. So I decided to see it. I really liked it. I'm not sure I'd call it feel good cos as folk have said its quite harsh at times, but the littlest Jamal was just adorable.

Yes, adorable! Actually, I thought all  the kids were great, and I have a feeling that the Indian CO-director, Loveleen Tandan (love that name!) had quite a lot to do with it. But I love Danny Boyle too!

Good job!

I finally saw Milk. Wow. I don't know where to start, except to say I sure was glad I had an old wadded-up Kleenex in my coat pocket, since I started using it with the opening images. Sean Penn will definitely be a Best Actor nominee, perhaps the winner. He was fantastic. And everyone else was good, too.

Well, it was hardly Shakespeare, but I did like her performance in "Out of Sight" with George Clooney years ago.  I always thought they should make a sequel to that.  They had good chemistry.

You have a better memory than I do, Meryl! LOL.

I saw "Revolutionary Road" tonight and thought it was very, very good.  Sam Mendes has a way with suburban angst.  Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio were great, and even though the story dealt with problems many couples face and many movies have addressed, I never lost interest.  The inner lives of the characters were so intense, I was never quite sure what they'd do.

David Harbour (BBM's Randall) had a supporting role as a neighbor.  This resulted in a scene that was pure Brokeback.  Any Brokie who sees the movie will instantly recognize it.
