"Some people really liked it, some didn't".
That has happened with every movie that has ever came out. I just wanted to know if anyone agrees with me.

Posted: 3/3/07 at 2:38pmI thought it was okay but I don't understand the Academy's love for it - unless it is their customary acknowledgment that there is a body of independent, non-studio work out there that deserves notice. I did think the actors did about as much with the thin material as they possibly could have.

Alan Arkin's win for Supporting Actor is what really galls me.

Posted: 3/3/07 at 2:52pmloved it, loved the story, loved the characters....
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

I could hardly get through it.
I hate dramedies that are billed as comedy (ie: Murials Wedding)
Crap, she stole from her parents, one of them dies... how is that funny?

Who stole from their parents?
I guess I missed something. I loved "Muriel's Wedding" though. Toni Collette was in both films BTW.

She stole their life savings, and then the father died from a heart attack because of it...
Not funny at all.

"She" means Toni Collette's character? I totally missed that!
The father that dies is Greg Kinnear's father I thought.

Sorry, I just realized that Toni is in both films.....
She stole from her parents in Muriels....

Posted: 3/3/07 at 4:23pmI though it was a very good movie. Just ordered it from Amazon.

Posted: 3/3/07 at 5:22pmAmazing movie, I thought it deserved to win Best Picture
#17re: Little Miss Sunshine, What?!!!
Posted: 3/3/07 at 6:18pmI really liked the movie, too. Although, I do agree that Arkin should not have won that award. I have seen him play that kind of character many times before.

It is a sweet, unpretentious film. Much better than DREAMGIRLS.
I also recommend LETTERS FROM IWO JIWA; outstanding and sad film.
For a cloudy Saturday night, I advise MURDER BY DEATH with Maggie Smith's line "where's my Dicky?"
Do you know what happens when you let Veal Prince Orloff sit in an oven too long?

I wouldn't say it was better than "Dreamgirls" but I liked it a lot.
Whenever LETTERS FROM IWO JIWA comes on dvd, I am going to grab it from blockbuster.

Posted: 3/3/07 at 8:02pmIt had a hysterical final scene and was very well acted. Otherwise, there wasn't a single scene whose outcome you couldn't predict.

Posted: 3/3/07 at 8:06pmI, along with spiderdj82, really liked Little Miss Sunshine...but don't really understand Arkin's win. I just watched it again last night and felt the same. I do adore Paul Dano, though. Quite a bit. And I think Abigail Breslin is adorable.

Flags is out on DVD & is coming to PPV
Will put it on DVD & when Iwo Jima comes to PPV, will put it on same DVD. I do not think there is much in the way of extras on Flags DVD

Christ Fflagg,
Do you ALWAYS have to slam Dreamgirls?
