So Many Movies, Such Little Time...

So, when it's pouring rain and you're feeling somewhat brain damaged from the night before, what better opportunity than to catch up on your movie watching...

Hence, Saturday found me crawling in the door at 5:00 am, post dinner with Mr. A at the Slow Club (my all-time favorite dining spot in SF) followed by a fab party thrown by a friend of Mr. A's, a hot photographer for his gorgeous model girlfriend. Yeah, it was one of those beautiful people crowds, with the exception that everyone was super sweet and interesting to talk to... so, needless to say, we were the last to leave.

The movie line up: Must Like Dogs, Flight Plan, Lord of War, Wedding Crashers, The Constant Gardener... in that order... a nice rollercoaster ride through genres. None of them was truly awful, only The Constant Gardener was truly excellent.

And, in the last week I've managed to catch up on most of the likely Oscar nominations... Brokeback Mountain is undoubtedly going to win for best picture, and even though Philip Seymour Hoffman did a fabulous job in Capote, Joaquin Phoenix gets my vote for best actor... we'll see...
