Just saw it...

I don't know what to say. Its very easy to see why it won best picture, and why the cast won both best actor and supporting actress. It was such a good movie.

Anyone else seen it?

Well, since I live in London, we don't normally get to see films as early as you guys in the U.S...

Sigma, have you seen Vanilla Sky?

Maybe we don't (although i don't live in London), but theres still some we see first. Like Lord Of the Rings.

From what I have heard Vanilla Sky was crap.

I haven't seen any movies since that god forsaken Kate & Keopold that Kristen dragged me to -- stupid chick flick..

Some chic flicks are alright. Like Notting Hill, I mean thats a chic flick you can actually SIT through.

i saw it and loved it! russel crowe should, and probably will, win best actor. i dunno about best picture.

Russell Crowe is not going to win best actor. He already won last year, and the Academy never gives an award to the same person two years in a row.

Which is really too bad, because I consider his performance in this movie to be far superior to his turn in Gladiator.

A Beautiful Mind will make you laugh, will make you cry, will make you think...and you'll never look at your roommate the same way again.

well he got the golden globe award already, and his wife in the movie (don't know her real name) won best supporting actress and the movie did win best picture.

Though they were all golden globe awards.

Didn't Tom Hanks win it twice in a row? I thought he did, but I may be mistaken...
Edit: Yeah, he won for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump" in 1993 and 1994 respectively...So they can give out the award to the same person...it just isn't likely.

By the way, has anyone seen The Royal Tenenbaums? I thought it was good movie, wondering what everybody else thinks...

This is one of those movies that falls in my list of "movies I'd rather kill myself than watch."

TheGrimReaper

Oh yes, I have a list similar to that.

That's the problem, don't listen to critics, they don't know anything, only a select few are brilliant!

Its not that they don't know anything, its more that they know too much. Critics nitpick at all these small things that nobdoy cares about or even notices.

And they always seem to love those unknown movies that nobdy's heard of......

Well, critics are only giving their opinion,

so whaddya gonna do.
