I Am Cuba 1964 is on Film Four later tonight at 1.15am

I haven't seen it, supposedly a classic. I'll just record it.

The Wrestler was Ok.

Watched Defiance there, good show.

Oscar nominations in a fortnight or so.

Bookies reckon Revolutionary Road, Dark Knight, Curious Case, Che, Changeling, Slumdog will be in with a shout.

Kate Winslet is in 2 of those so could have a sixth nomination under belt. I'd have money on Revolutionary Road at fives.

Revolutionary Road, boring at the beginning but oddly gets interesting, not much happens though. Worth a watch, just about.
Slum dog millionaire and Benjamin Button both very well made, a lot of people will like them but neither did it for me.
Ghost Town, makes "Ghost" look like a masterpiece.

The outstanding feature in Revolutionary Road was Kate Winslet
she must be in the line for the actress award.

Who else will be in contention for the ladies award. Haven't seen Changeling but by all accounts Angelina Jolie's role was for nothing other than to win her an Oscar.

I haven't seen the Changeling either, I downloaded a screener but the quality was poorer than the usual so I'll wait for better.

I see Gabriel Byrne won an GG award for TV drama actor as a psychiatrist "In Treatment".

Interesting format, 5 patients,
each patient gets one episode a week, therapy continued the following week.
There are 5 episodes in a week.
So far, Series 1 has been running for 9 weeks, about 45 episodes.
I think I´ll download the whole lot of them

Role Models is very, very good.

Saw this myself last night, the whole cniema was ni stitches!! The wee fella stole the show...

Though on a sadder note, I was dying for the toilet the shole time and couldn't relax!! I didn't want to leave in case I missed something plus the row was full and I would have pissed everyone off!!

Sex Drive is a good laugh.
