I've seen four of the five listed under Best Picture, and if these are indeed the ones that will make the final cut, this has got to be the worst year for movies in history. That is unless Benjamin Button is as good as everyone says it is, but from what I hear, it's not. Frost/Nixon and Milk were strong movies, but not Best Picture material. The Dark Knight wasn't nearly as good as Batman Begins, and Slumdog might be the most overrated movie since The Blair Witch Project. I'll find something better to do on Oscar night, like watch paint dry.
