Re: Movies
My three favorite movies this year (and I've seen fewer than any year since 2000)
A. Zodiac. Out too early to be remembered by the Academy, I think it's one of the best of the year. I love true stories. Robert Downey Jr. can really act when he's not drinking or drugging. Too bad it didn't come out with the biggies, but made a nice late winter movie.
B. Michael Clayton. Tom Wilkinson was nominated for supporting actor Golden Globe. Didn't see most of the nominees but thought he was great. Clooney and Tilda Swinton both excellent.
C. No Country for Old Men. I think it stands with Fargo and Blood Simple as one of three truly great Coen Brothers movies. My wife, however, hated it. Go figure, guess I should have taken her to see Atonement.
Honorable Mention-- HairSpray. Better, but less memorable than the John Waters original.
