As 2007 begins, so begins Egads! A bit bumpy, erratic, challenging. Let’s hope everything and everyone repairs and regulates soon….
Tonight saw two Spirit Award noms - For Your Consideration (underwhelming, but ok) and The Lives of Others (stunning - my favorite of the 10 or so films I’ve viewed so far). It’s a German film up for best foreign film. It was also on the Golden Globe’s Foreign Language film list (awarded to Eastwood’s Letters to Iwo Jima). My guess is that Lives will be on the Oscar list and might score, without the homeboy competition. It’s a psychological thriller about the end of Eastern Germany. Fantastic script, acting, direction. A must see!
