I don’t think I have done this more than a couple times, but that’s primarily due to the fact I am never convinced of the authenticity of reader reviews, or they just aren’t up to par. However, when a recent industry insider shot over some well thought out opinions without any spoilers for Clint Eastwood’s Invictus and The Lovely Bones I just couldn’t resist.
First for the comments that were sent in followed by some words by myself.
Now I have no idea when I will be seeing Eastwood’s Invictus, but I have A Single Man this Sunday, The Young Victoria and Up In the Air next Tuesday, Brothers on the 30th, The Lovely Bones on December 1st and Nine on the 8th. So, my schedule for seeing Oscar contenders is filling up fast.
This past week I saw Everybody’s Fine and Me and Orson Welles. I don’t see anything for De Niro with Everybody’s Fine, but I thought Christian McKay was phenomenal in Me and Orson Welles and it’s upsetting more Oscar bloggers aren’t championing his performance as the iconic actor/director.
Finally, if you want more Lovely Bones, I have just added two new stills to the gallery which you can check out right here. The Lovely Bones and Invictus hit theaters on December 11.
