Very glad about the love for ANIMAL KINGDOM. I think Michod's direction is impeccable, I can't wait to see what else he does.
Haven't seen Mother & Child yet, but it seems you're quite taken with it! I should give it a looksie soon.
yes, Animal Kingdom is quite special. The great casting also helped it a lot.
I guess I was in a very good mood while watching Mother and Child. Naomi Watts was fascinating for sure.
:)
Oh my. Interesting picks. :)
Very high placing for Mother and Child, I'm definitely going to have to try and catch up with that eventually.
Not sure about Toy Story 3 though - would need to watch the first two as well.
Toy Story 3 was for me the less flawed film of the year, for sure. And terribly entertaining.
I myself didn't see the first 2 until last year, but REALLY enjoyed them. very smart.
Mother and Child is a film I enjoyed, even with its "Greek tragedy" moments and the Kerry Washington storyline I didn't care so much about. But the one with Annette and the one with Naomi really had me interested. It's a touching film and it works, if you don't go with big expectations about it.
