The Oscars


I guess this is my ranking of the Best Picture noms:

1. Slumdog Millionaire
2. Frost/Nixon
3. Milk
4. The Reader
5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

After finally watching The Reader, it was a lot better than I thought it would be. To call it a Holocaust movie does it a disservice (you know, if you're tired of Holocaust movies). Underneath the nudity and Nazi trial, the movie subtly? points out the pressures we face in a society to go along, even if our moral compass would suggest otherwise.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. I'm surprised that you haven't seen at least ONE.
