"Once" wasnt nominated for Best Picture. It won an Oscar for Best Song for "Falling Slowly." If you enjoy an old fashioned, low key movie then rent "Once."

I enjoyed both "I Love You, Man" and "Duplicty." Both movies will carry themselves through word of mouth. I think they exceed standard genre pics. "Knowing" looks terrible. Of course, its doing well!

I just saw Knowing and I would agree with you TrueBlueMormon (heareafter referred to TBM) – While I am not Mormon I had a good friend who was and I would agree with you on that angle – however my friend and I were playing a game afterwords trying to see how we could write it better – the premise was good and the movie was good for about 3/4 – then , well, I guess people will have to see if for themselves and decide…

"Knowing" has an underlying Religious theme. I am certain that the critics are hammering it because of that. On a scale of 1 to ten its about a 6. It will do good money because word of mouth in religious community. Has a very uplifting message and its a movie families can go to.

I would be very surprised to find that there was not a LDS writer involved in the movie. It had quite a few references to LDS tradition and beliefs. It had one direct reference to a story found in the "Book of Mormon". I will not mention what because it has a drect connection to the rather surprising ending…..nothing big, just a few quotes hear and there.

I thought is was good movie but nothing I would go see again. Very impressive special effect though.
Nicholas Cage does a good job in the movie but he prob won't earn an oscar, but as an actor you got to pay the bills right…..lol

DUPLICITY is BOMBING…get a clue Steve. It isn't smart, it's lazy and depends on a name and not a script.

"I Love You, Man" will probably do well. The trailer indicate some clever, raunchy humor. I'm just tired of this whole "man-crush" thing. I have lots of male friends, and I don't remember any of us having anything more than a strong feeling of camaraderie. At least Greg Gutfeld doesn't pretend to love his houseboys. Well now that I just went off on a homophobic tangent, I just lost half those male friends I spoke of. At least the ones in San Francisco. Or maybe not. This is confusing. Ignore everything I just said.

"In the Valley of Elah" wasn't a "monster hit." It wasn't even a hit. It wasn't even a good movie. For clarity's sake.

I Love You, Man was pretty good. Knowing looks painful from the trailer. Cage is so bland and one dimensional. I have a hard time looking at him as an assassin one minute and a nuclear physicist the next with that same monotone voice and expression.
