Some movies I have watched recently:
The Holiday B-
The Last Kiss B-
The Queen B+
Happy Feet B
Casino Royale A-
Little Children A-
Night at the Museum B
The real surpise of the season was that Casino Royale was such a good movie. The action's just awesome and Daniel Craig does the James Bond franchise proud. I mean we all thought Pierce Brosnan totally looked the part of Bond, but now when I think of him, I think of stuffy old bachelor trying to look cool. Kate Winslet was out with two movies this season, i.e. a visual and cinematic treat but The Holiday was quite the disappointment (although she was brilliant) but Little Children kind of made up for it. A must watch. Helen Mirren in The Queen is absolutely awesome. Every bit of praise that has been showered on her for this performance is well deserved and 100% justified.
Movies I am dying to watch:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Notes on a Scandal
The Departed (was in state of 3rd world cinematic deprivation when movie opened)
Pan's Labyrinth (getting some of the best reviews of the year)
Half Nelson
I am so looking forward to the award season!! However, sadly, I cannot miss work to watch the awards live. Poor me. I live such a hard life!!!

ok i agree with you about Casino Royale, i have pretty much the same impression of the movie, went to watch thinking i'd hate it, eneded up loving it enough to have actually bought the DVD. but come on, The holiday was nice! i'm a self confessed romantic but that doesn't excuse anything, the movie was better than B-.
