I haven't seen any of those films
I wanted to see District 9, Up (which I saw part of on the plane back from Egypt) and Avatar, but just haven't managed to get round to it

I've only seen trailers for this movie, but it strikes me that Morgan Freeman playing Nelson Mandela doing Morgan Freeman impressions is not far from the mark. A pity Hollywood didn't think hiring South African actors to play the key parts might have worked, rather than parachute in names.

District 9 is so much a better film than Avatar is. It's probably the best film I saw all last year, and I watched quite a few films. Mark |

I saw this film without knowing anything about it other than WWII, Nazis and Jews, and assumed it would be serious after having seen Defiance a couple of weeks beforehand. You know, how it seems that several very similar films come along at the same time.  Anyway I really enjoyed it but the gf almost walked out. I've paid many times over for that mistake, but sometimes it is fun just to walk into the cinema and watch a film, any film. |

If you want to get in to the voting process of the Academy Awards in relation to this years nominations here would be a good place to start. From a personal point of view I understand Tom Rothman's stance at the start of the article. Mark |
