I’m Curious but have Doubt about The Spirit of a Seven Pound Slumdog Wrestler Getting Married on Revolutionary Road by Nixon The Reader in his Gran Torino
After reexamining the Golden Globe nominations, I realized that there are a ridiculous number of potentially great films coming out in the next month which I would love to see, as well as a few I should have by now. I will probably wind seeing most after New Year’s but before the Academy Awards.
Here are those which top my must-see list:
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
- Doubt
- Frost/Nixon
- Gran Torino
- Rachel Getting Married
- The Reader
- Revolutionary Road
- Seven Pounds
- Slumdog Millionaire
- The Spirit
- The Wrestler
Thus far, the only Oscar-worthy movies I’ve seen this year are The Dark Knight, Milk and Wall E. I am on the fence about Changeling, although I do think that Clint Eastwood is one hell of a director.
For those of you who share my interest in the major film awards, I highly recommend that you visit and bookmark The Envelope, the LA Times’ extensive awards buzz blog.
Am I forgetting any pending releases?
