Agreed. My 3rd time watching it - (on DVD the other day) - was a superior experience to the first two times, in the theater. Its because I could finally focus on everything that was going on, and let me tell you did I ever savor every moment. A groundbreaking film which deserves any accolades tossed at it. I'm not convinced Ledger will win the Oscar, however. It would be wicked cool if he did. I just say he might not win it based on the competition alone.

Of course he would be getting all the accolades if he were still alive. Buzz started on that performance on the set itself. Michael Caine said he would get at least nominated while it was still filming.
Damn, people are such Lady Buzzkillingtons!

I'm stoked to see the new Eastwood flick. I think it's going to be pretty bad ass.

Yup. Looks like it might be his Swan Song.

That will suck when he stops working.
He is so "The Man".

They say he's awesome in it and kind of spoofs his Dirty Harry persona.
I take it you guys are talking about Gran Torino?

Just watched "The Incredible Hulk." I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but I really did. Lovely Liv Tyler gave a superb performance. It was AWESOME!  |

Changed my mind on Dark Knight.
Saw it yesterday & IMO by far the best of the series.
& yes stellar turn from ole Heath. Not even ¼ in & I found myself thinking yes, he is deserving.

Watched "Journey to the center of the earth" and have to say that despite the performance by the delectable Brendan Fraser I am disappointed by the special effects. Did have a good time watching regardless though. Special effects were quite cheesy. Hopefully Mummy 3 Tomb Of The Dragon Emporer is better.  |
