Doubt is out on DVD next Tuesday! I think it was one of the best movies of 2008, and should have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar over The Reader.
This one is a must have for my DVD collection. Slumdog Millionaire will be out soon, too!
I hope to go see Monsters v. Aliens in the theater soon. I may have to wait until after Easter, because my weekends are pretty much booked until then.

Two weeks, two sad losses for the film world.
Last week, actor Ron Silver died of cancer at 62. I had no idea he had been sick, so that was a surprise. He gave some really good performances throughout his career, in films such as Reversal of Fortune, and on television on The West Wing.
On Wednesday, Natasha Richardson died of head injuries from a skiing accident. She was the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, niece of Lynn Redgrave, the wife of Liam Neeson, and a damned fine actress in her own right. I remember her especially from The Handmaid's Tale and Patty Hearst. She was more of a stage actress, so her film appearances were a bit few and far between. She was just 45. A damned shame that she's gone.
Other movie notes- I picked up the DVDs for Milk, Rachel Getting Married, and Happy-Go-Lucky. I watched Milk the day I bought it, and it was just as fantastic as when I saw it in the theater. I'll watch the other two this weekend. I can't wait for Slumdog Millionaire, Doubt, and Frost/Nixon to be released on DVD!
I did see Revolutionary Road in the theater, but for some reason, I never got around to reviewing it. I'll do it next week, as well as my final 2008 wrap-up.
I haven't been to the movies since the Oscar marathon. The only one I'm interested at the moment is Sunshine Cleaning, which stars Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. Unfortunately, it's not playing anywhere near me. :(
