In Reply to: Syriana: just give it the Best Oscar now. posted by tinear on December 9, 2005 at 17:47:06:
for posting an informative review without giving away key plot elements. Too many reviewers just tell you the story, they MAY leave out the ending, but Hell, I like to be surprised by at least some elements of the storyline.You really thought it Oscar worthy? Hmm, may be on the hit list tomorrow.
