..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. ;-)
