Babel

If I was a voting member of the academy, then I would not vote for Babel.

We’ve had this before, so… so… often before. I just want an easier movie to watch!

I saw Traffic and I hate to bring it up in the same blog as Babel. They are just very different movies and have absolutely nothing in common!!! Except the Mexican border maybe.

But I just feel these short story types wound up into a movie where the characters have something in common are just done to death. Give me a story that tells a story from A to Z, not fro Z to T to B to Omega!

It was gripping and I enjoyed seeing Brad Pitt not throwing his hands around like a mad man. But I am sick of these movies. Crash won, this style of film making where the audience has a job to try and see how the characters are connected before the movie ends is just very tiring for me.

So, so far, I will be voting for Little Miss Sunshine (if I had the vote that is) to win the Oscar on Monday!

Watch Babel, it is good and all and all…

Give it 3 spoons.

I can only watch one other movie before Oscar night and not sure what it should be, The Last King of Scotland, Clint Eastwood, Dream Girls? Oh to be me!!!
