Suspect's Reviews

Thread moved to the Actors, Awards, & Directors forum.

I agree with TUS, by the way.

And it is always good to make predictions against films that haven't even been released yet. Sure there aren't just your favourites?

I don't think so. Milk hasn't been released yet and VG has it winning the big one. Unless he somehow caught a preview, he hasn't seen it yet.

Isn't it? Given up checking US release dates because just annoy me about the time we have to wait for them

Ooops- There was a 'limited release' date set for today. No idea how 'limited' it was though. Maybe he did see it. Huh. Lets see what else IMDB says.

It doesn't even premiere until the 28th.

Hey- look at this- theaters will burn to the ground and mobs of Nazi skinheads will beat audiences to a bloody pulp when Russia gets it on the 4th of December. And the US will get the general release the next day with a significantly lower incidence of violence.

Maybe he did see it after all. My bad.

i hated W... but unfortunately i think your prediction is right on with best actor....

Good predictions!

I think it will win the best actor...

No Way! Even though I wouldn't mind a nom.

any category the dark knight is in will win

I doubt that, even with how much I love TDK.

Call me crazy, but best make-up and effects, Punisher: War Zone.

Where else can I see a freak with some horse hide for a face, and Newman's mother wth her head blown half off.

i'm really pulling for "the dark knight", but i honestly can't even see it getting nominated for best picture/director. i hope that i'm wrong (lord of the rings, anyone?) but we'll see.
