and on the subject of film...

A must-see-before-the-Oscars movie list. I give all these films two thumbs way up.

1. A Serious Man (best film of the year, seriously)
2. Up in the Air
3. Coraline
4. Fantastic Mr. Fox (Wes Anderson, my hero)
5. A Single Man (Vogue in motion, simply gorgeous)
6. District 9 (visually a little bit disturbing, but kudos for a very unique take on alien/race vs. race social commentary. Avatar, I'm pointing at YOU when I say CLICHE)
