Tare post!

Daca-l mai si traduceai era si mai bine
Dar nemultumitului i se ia darul

good job!

jaf jaf jaf!!!!

Slumdog millionaire a fost un film bun, dar nu atat de bun. Pana si indienii au fost revoltati de ideea filmului. Ca sa nu mai vorbesc de intrebarea finala, careia eu personal, si presupun ca si restul omenirii, ii stiam raspunsul de cand eram la gradinita. In schimb, B Button m-a tinut lipit de ecran toate cele 3 ore. Da, a fost putin SF, dar ideea mi s-a parut geniala.

Milk la fel. Aceeasi poveste ca si cu Brokeback Mountain. Faci un film cu si despre homosexuali, gata ai luat un oscar. Si nu, nu sunt homofob. Intr-adevar, Sean Penn a jucat bine, dar Mickey Rourke a fost mult peste.

The Dark Knight, era de asteptat, la ce contracandidati a avut.

Penelope Cruz, 10++, a jucat superb.

The Duchess, pentru costume, la fel, a meritat, ca si Wall-E, cea mai tare animatie facuta, cred, pana acum.

In rest, n-am vazut, nu ma pot pronunta.
