BTW, I just saw the trailer for Mrs. Henderson... for the first (or maybe second) time tonight, and it looks pretty good...
Why so low profile and general lack of reception/anticipation/whatever? I'll probably check it out soon (if it sticks around another week, anyway)

I'm going to Brokeback tonight, then I have Junebug/Munich/Memoirs/Syriana/Pride and Prejudice on my computer. I'll have to watch them sometime, probably one after Brokeback as I won't be home too late.

Re: EW's 25 Movies You Need to See Before Oscar Night so did anyone review > did any of these miss and not get any Oscar nominations and thus really shouldn't be on the list.
Anyway, I see Cache is playing down the street so maybe I will catch that today.
Makes 22 > just missing Mrs Henderson Presents, Junebug and TransAmerica.

I'm going to watch Capote within the next week and I'll probably blind buy Pride & Prejudice. Other than that, I'll see everything else after Oscar night on DVD.

I saw Junebug a few nights back. Amy Adams gives one of the better performances I've seen this year. She deserves her Oscar nomination, and she deserves the win.
Coming up I have a chance to see Mrs. Henderson Presents, Memoirs of a Geisha and Brokeback Mountain. I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to see Mrs. Henderson Presents. The same goes for Brokeback Mountain and Memoris of a Geisha, though there is a good chance I'll see Brokeback Mountain.

Re: EW's 25 Movies You Need to See Before Oscar Night @Goldie, I actually saw it yesterday. I downloaded it, which I hate, but I needed to see it for this and before the Oscars. I'll be renting it when it is released, though. Really good film, btw.
