I *did* just see The Machinist and thought it was really well done. That’s the extent of my movie critique-ing abilities at the moment: “It was really well done.”

I have yet to see ANY of the movies nominated in ANY of the categories. Seriously. Not one. I *want* to see them, it’s just that somehow I’ve lost the habit or time or motivation or something to get out do it.

But I enjoy reading your reviews and daydreaming of the day when I will see all these films. =) Keep writing! (Like you need to be told: You write like a shark swims, constantly, as if it were necessary to your survival).
