TOD: 

The only film I'll likelygo to the theater to see will be NINE. All the others I'll catch on Blu-ray or pay cable during the next year. (I'm still catching up with some of last year's Oscar contenders as they arrive on paycable since I didn't buy or rent the Blu-rays. I'm talking mostly about BENJAMIN BUTTON, THE READER, and FROST/NIXON.) It'll likely be a year before I catch some of these films on paycable.

I didn't care much for BENJAMIN BUTTON, but THE READER and FROST/NIXON (along with DOUBT) were my favorite movies of last year.

Great writing.

After seeing last year's winner SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE and being entertained without being overly impressed, I'd say DOUBT (which wasn't nominated for best film but was my favorite thus far) and MILK were each more deserving of Best Picture in my eyes. I'm looking forward to seeing the others.

I agree with you, DR Matt.  I wasn't all that impressed with Slumdog, either.

Speaking of DOUBT...

If any of youse have the Sundance Channel, they are showing an interesting little documentary called THEATER OF WAR which covers the Public Theater's production of MOTHER COURAGE that Meryl Streep did in 2006.  I started watching it at about a quarter of the way in and I was hooked.  I got to look for the next showing so I can record it.

Last night I tried watching some of the LIZA AT THE PALACE special that's running on PBS, but I could not sit through the pledge break that featured Liza botoxed to the max and a lot of hard sell of the DVD and CD.  During the show itself, Liza does do a bang-up job on her numbers, but it seemed that the sound was slightly out of sync.  That, and Liza's make-up looked a little weird--I think she had sweated off the top half of her face.

This morning I saw our son off for his last day of classes at the University of Cincinnati.  Wasn't it just last week I took him to his first day of kindergarten?

Looked at a listing of upcoming releases, and nothing jumps out at me, but without seeing a trailer it is difficult for me to know what might appeal to me.

I have seen the trailers for PRINCESS AND THE FROG and it looks like it might be fun, and I might enjoy HOODWINKED 2: HOOD VS. EVIL. I loved HOODWINKED, so if the sequel is as much fun, then I am there.

I am not even sure what is upcoming in Bollywood that I might like, but of course I look forward to anything that will star John Abraham. He rarely disappoints.

AN EDUCATION is playing in Salem, currently, and I am thinking that somone on this here sight had recommended it. So I am hoping to get to see it before it leaves the theatre.

As for the Topic of the Day....

When does "The Princess and the Frog" open nationwide? It's already running here in NYC at The Ziegfeld.  -Disney has also set up a whole "Disney Experience" at the Roseland Ballroom in conjunction with the Ziegfeld engagement.

One movie I'm really forward to doesn't open until next March: Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland".

I'm still looking forward to "Nine". Since I have a very "distant" connection to the movie, I just want to see how everything turned out.
