I went to the movies with kikimonster this evening to see Jane Campion's latest, Bright Star. Honestly I think the praise for it is overdone. That's not to say it's not good. It's a good movie. I just don't get the Best-Picture-nominee praise for it. And I don't get the Best Actress talk for Abbie Cornish. However, I'll strongly support those who want to put Ben Whishaw in the Best Actor race - as unlikely as that might be. He was great. Also, nice hats, and it was good to see Thomas Sangster again (Tim from Doctor Who's The Family of Blood).
