1. Revolutionary Road


2. Slumdog Millionaire


3. The Wrestler
(only 4 images per post)

4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


5. Doubt


I haven't seen Synecdoche, New York yet and I think that could take the cake. Kaufman is probably my favorite writer/director and Philip Seymour Hoffman is my favorite actor. I neeeeeed to see it.

The Academy Awards this year are terrible. The nominations are completely ridiculous in every category. And it is unforgiveable that they snubbed Revolutionary Road so badly. Leo's performance was easily one of the best of the year (in my opinion the best) and for Brad Pitt to be nominated instead of him makes me want to cry.

I agree, that Revolutionary Road should be in best pictures nomination. The only reason it's not on my list is because it's way to depressing. And yeah Leo's performance was amazing especially at the hospital.

Plus you should see Synecdoche, New York. It's amazing

I think either Revolutionary Road should replace The Reader or Frost/Nixon for the best pic noms. Those two really didn't do anything for me besides the acting.

Where/How did you see Synecdoche? It's been in select cites for a while and I just have no theaters around me that play good movies. I'll have to wait for it to come out on DVD.

I go to Savannah College of Art and Design and every October there is a huge film festival that plays a lot of art films. That's how I saw both Slumdog and Synecdoche, New York. It was pretty cool because I got to meet Danny Boyle.
