year. Unfortunately, I have not seen MILK or SLUMDOG so I don't know if Ebert is trying to make up for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN losing. What do others think? Is MILK that good?

Milk is in my top two or three of the year, so I don't think Ebert is out of line. I probably liked it better than Slumdog, actually, though that one was certainly up there, too. Other favorites of mine were Frost/Nixon and Gran Torino. I'm going to see The Wrestler this afternoon, so I'll get back to you about that one.

I stopped listening to Roger Ebert after his antics in 2006 that helped "Crash" end up in the top spot. I figure anyone who can't see that Brokeback is miles above that movie doesn't know peanuts.
It would be ironic if Heath wins an Oscar over Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the same year that a gay-themed movie wins Best Picture. Not likely, but it's weird how things can turn out.

Well I like Doubt, Frost/Nixon, Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons and had mixed feelings about Revolutionary Road.
R.R. was probably the most depressing movie I've seen in along time. I going to read the book to see if The Wheelers (RR) are more sympathetic in literature as they seemed rather selfish and so above it all in the film. Gran Torino was a lesser Clint Eastwood film. Just my opinion. MILK, I know how it ends. Though I'm told it's not a depressing film.
