I watched a good number films over the break...
The Aviator- An excellent film, I agree that it deserves to at least be nominated for some Oscars. I thought the actors did an impressive job, which I don't often find in so many of the over-hyped new films. I'm beginning to at least respect Leonardo DiCaprio, if not liking him in the Titanic sense. I think that his recent films have proved his veridity as an actor, and I was very impressed with this latest endeavor. It almost felt as if he was literally aging throughout the film, and not just in the cheap means of added makeup. Cate Blanchett didn't disappoint either. As great as she is, she really looks nothing like Katharine Hepburn, and I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't quite work. It did though, through the simple strength of her acting. She actually managed to sound so much like her as well!
Miss Congeniality
My Best Friend's Wedding
All About Eve- Another awesome film, but one that makes very little sense without watching the second segment.
Sense and Sensibility
A Shot in the Dark- Funny and charming with a high body count.
