  ..In the same category of much ado about little. Ordinary.

  Notes On A Scandal was really a bore to me. I like Blanchett but her heart wasn't in that character. Dame Judith playing against type, so to speak, was unconvincing and showed a rather desperate and unsuccessful attempt on her part, I thought, to put one last jewel in her distinguished crown. I felt a bit sad for her. Truth be known, I bet she was embarrassed at the Oscar campaign on her behalf. It was not a particularly notable performance for her.

  On a visceral level I enjoyed Blood Diamond more of the three but there's nothing transcendant there. I'd rather watch Missouri Breaks one more time. Heh, heh.

  Back to The Departed. Declaring it a "masterpiece" then replacing it as "best of year" with TWO subsequent films: that's very heady territory. ;-)

    I consider "Missouri Breaks" the worst western ever made and one of the worst films ever made.

      ..and your rationale is so well argued, too. I'll have to reconsider. Hmmm.... nope, you're still wrong.

      Don't worry too much. though, you still have time to grow up,

    Can't one say "The best I've seen so far"?
