time for QUALITY MOVIES!!!

Enough with all big budget movies...now it's time for the movies with really good stories with good performance from all the actors/actresses, under supervision of good directors along with good scripts...perhaps i should change the word 'good' with 'great' or 'amazing'...cause I've seen the previews of the upcoming so-called 'Oscar Movies', and most of them already caught my attention:

1. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
An Indian guy, lives in suburban, undeducated, just won "Who Wants to be Millionaire"...afterwards, he was caught by the police with the suspicion of cheating. The storey evolves where each question of the quiz show brings us the touching story behind the success. This is a MUST-see movie. Based on the book "Q&A", and directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting).

2. THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
A love story, but not like the ordinary one. A couple, played by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, has a unique relationships. Benjamin Button (Pitt), was born 70-year old, and start living backward, or in other words, he's getting younger and younger, while Daisy (Blanchett) lives her life normally. The happiest moment for this couple is when both of them are on the similar age. I reckon Pitt, Blanchett, or the director, David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) might win prizes.

3. THE WRESTLER
A really huge comeback for Mickey Rourke, with his character potrays an old wrestler struggling with his old life. Quite funny, the character and the actor has the same condition at the moment, trying to reclaim popularity. Directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, the Fountain), Rourke may suprise all the critics when he got an Oscar next year.

4. THE READER
A woman (Kate Winslet) fall in love with a man much younger than her. Unfortunately, the happy moments was ruined when the woman had been convicted of war crimes, since she was the ex-SS of Nazi.

For now, I can say these 4 movies are on my MUST SEE list...try to add again later on if I found some other interesting movies. Perhaps FROST/NIXON, THE REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, CHANGELING, and MILK will be on my next previews.
