I'm getting too lucky these days

First, Now, Voyager - 8/10


I keep watching good movies lately. It's not pure luck, since I had read recommendations, but it's certainly pure delight.

Now, Voyager impessed me with its script and Davis' performance which was note-perfect. She didn't even seem able to consider overacting. I loved how realistically happy the ending felt. It didn't blow my mind, so I can't give it a 9/10, but why ask for the moon. I have the stars.




Bette is holding a cigarette. Who would have thought?

Supporting Actress predictions

I don't feel confident about any of these except Spacek.


Marion Cotillard - Inception
Julianne Moore - The Kids Are All Right
Sissy Spacek - Get Low
Saoirse Ronan - The Way Back
Keira Knightley - Never Let Me Go


I could easily score only 1/5 though I think Moore is also a strong possibility.

Am I still young? Not sure.

I am 24 but for some time now I feel like I can't consider myself young anymore. The diffult times (Was it easy so far??) seem very close and it's not a nice feeling.

I love this song but/because it depresses the hell out of me.

It was dark alright. But what's wrong with that?

Dancer in the Dark is a great movie.

I loved everything in it. Perhaps I didn't see a reason for that lawyer to be accusing Bjork's character of hating America but there might be a good reason and even if not, it is only a little thing.

8/10 might seem kind of low compared to my comments but 8 for me is very good and it's almost a 9.

Glorious past

So, I saw The Letter and The Lady Eve. Both lovely. Davis and Stanwyck were terrific. Especially The Lady Eve is a film I could watch many times. So entertaining!


The Lady Eve - 8/10 (Perhaps Fonda's character was a bit unrealistically naive, but that's not very important. I just chose to believe it)

The Letter - 7/10 (That's good in my book)

The game is on again

I can't resist. Must. predict.

In this post I will try to predict next year's Best Actress Oscar nominees. It's a well-known and beloved game.


Carey Mulligan - Never Let Me Go
Nicole Kidman - Rabbit Hole
Annette Bening - The Kids Are All Right
Renee Zellweger - My Own Love Song
Hilary Swank - Betty Anne Waters

Where I hope I'm wrong?
Well, I probably want Rachel Weisz to be good in Agora and get another nod. It's certainly a possibility. I also want Keira Knightley to do the same two things in London Boulevard but I think she has to do something completely weird for the Academy to care again. Natalie Portman is another possibility for Black Swan but it's too soon to tell.

I don't know if Hathaway is supporting or not in Love and Other Drugs. If she is lead she probably gets in my predictions but from what I remember hearing, she is supporting.

I put Bening for The Kids because I think this is the Bening film that will have some success with the Academy. Like when they nominated Winslet for the movie that got the best picture nomination.

I'm not sure I put Kidman because of logic or sentiment but even though AMPAS seems to have forgotten all about her, this seems like a very baity role. The same (actually, only the last part) applies to Zellweger.

Oh and, Bening will win.

Mixed Blood

I have seen almost all the episodes of the first season of True Blood.

Is this two series in one or what? It's like the two leads are in one series (romantic in a boring way and totally cliche) and the supporting characters are in another (original, funny, interesting).

I totally hate Bill. Poorly written and acted. He is supposed to be unfairly treated, good-hearted, flawed (because he is a person like the rest of us despite being a vampire....) but what he really is, is a boring nobody who should actually go to jail because, well, he is a murderer. He is polite? Why is that to his credit? Most people are as polite as he is. He is mysterious? No more than a spider in the corner of my room. (Hey, get out of there)


Sookie is an ordinary girl with good manners and an open mind. Nothing really interesting in the concept nor in the writing. She is attracted to Bill because she can be herself when she is with him. Um, it's only because you can't hear his thoughts. Nothing more!!!

The other characters are the only thing that makes this series watchable. Sookie's brother, her friend Tara and her cousin are all interesting and we are able to care for them.

Does anyone have an opinion on the show? Have you seen the rest of it?
