Notes on a Scandal

[bigwillq]

WOW! Just WOW!

I loved this movie!

What a nasty, dirty, naughty little movie.

Judi Dench is fucking amazing. Sorry I had to use the 'F' word to describe it because her performance was so amazing. And Cate. Cate is equally as brilliant.


I just can't believe how good this movie was.

1. considering the topic

and the previews (which made it look trashy imho) i was surprised. it was a good flick. judi was so delectably twisted:evilgrin:

[bigwillq]

2. I have to say

I don't remember ever seeing a preview for it although I knew the basic plot...some may perceive Cate's actions as sleazy but I think it was a rather well-done movie.

[HEyHEY]

3. Really? I found it kind of blah

[bigwillq]

4. Yeah, I thought it was that good

and I am not really a big British film fan.

5. I was debating whether to watch that one,

I just watched "United States vs John Lennon" and "American Hardcore" (a documentary about the hardcore punk scene in the early 80's). they were offered up here on Directv pay per view at my sister's in NH where I am currently. I also watched "the Departed".

6. How were they?

I liked the Departed a lot. Good flick. :hi:

11. i liked the Departed the least of the three I mentioned.

those awful boston accents (except for mark wahlberg) drove me nuts. even though Matt Damon is from Cambridge his accent still sounded fake. Most people who usually like punk didn't like American Hardcore but I did. I had seen some of the bands discussed.the John Lennon movie was awesome. a great slice of anti war history. it told of how the government/FBI were watching Lennon because he was "dangerous". Nixon was president. they tried to deport him and Yoko. I liked this movie the best of the three.

13. Cool.

I love watching movies...you always find these great, small little films. You're so cool.

:)

Yeah, I usually hate Boston Accents myself but I love Mob movies so I enjoyed it.

7. I had the exact same reaction

Judi Dench is the best actress I have ever seen. What a performance. She really should have won the Oscar.

[bigwillq]

8. I didn't see the other

Best Actress nominees..I know people raved about Mirren but I can't imagine someone being better than Dench was.

[MassLiberal]

9. Helen Mirren was really good

But the role was not as challenging, I don't think. I can't remember now who the other nominees were, but I think I had seen all or most of the nominated performances. I just thought all of the acting in "Notes" was pretty high-intensity. That camera was right up in their faces. Wow.

10. Meryl Streep was also up for Best Actress.

It was quite competitive this year.

"Notes on a Scandal" was ok.

[bigwillq]

12. The other nominees were:

Meryl Streep in Prada
Penelope Cruz in Volver
Kate Winslet in Little Children

14. Dench and Blanchette

A match made in heaven. Great movie!

freaking good in that movie.
