Well, it looks like I’m starting from scratch this year. 4 out of 5 are in theaters and the 5th comes out on DVD 5 days before the Oscars, so at least it’s doable. :)
I saw No Country For Old Men which I was really looking forward to because all of the reviews I read kept saying how it was so fantastic. It was the biggest waste of time.
