Atonement is the best movie I've seen all year. I was floored.

I still haven't seen There Will Be Blood though, but it will be tough to beat.

Cage and Proyas together in Knowing should be bad ***. Streep and Adams who are two of my very favorite actreses in the same movie is pretty damn cool too.

I just saw Atonement too. This is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. I was blown away by the storyline and the acting. Atonement deserves the seven Golden Globe nominations it recieved and I think it will be a strong Oscar contender.
