Blue Valentine

The Oscar nominations were announced yesterday and Ryan Gosling was not included in the Best Actor category. Bollox! Ok, maybe I'm a little biased because I love anything Ryan Gosling does (Half Nelson, the Notebook, Remembering the Titans). Michelle Williams definitely deserved her Best Actress nomination, yet the person who elevated her to a Meryl Streep level was snubbed. Just bullshit! This movie ran the gamut of love - from the sweetest beginnings of new found love to the painful nothingness of falling out of love. Michelle and Ryan played so well off each other that by the end of the fim, their love story broke my heart. Guess Hollywood had too many best actor nominees this go around. Boo to you, Hollywood! Rating - It's an intimate film with great use of the camera (phenomenal in/out focus shots), so see it when it comes out on DVD.
