LOL. SO true. “English director Joe Wright is the best thing to happen to the costume drama since soft-focus photography.”

Take them for what they are because neither one is going to change. I do have a bigger bias toward No Country. It is a risk in the Academy's eyes. I do have to mention that I think the ending in Atonement while good was paced poorly. I am glad it did not have the predictable ending but it did stamp out any hope for happiness.

Have not watched Atonement so will reserved my judgement but from what I have gathered, it is a simple plot yet stretched to hours long to include over the top dramatic scenes. Kiera is not one of my fav actors ( she is no Ms Winstlet )and her bony frame just further fuel the disliking of her acting. Sorry, I know one shd not be judged by one's look but to pay top dollar to see an actor that makes your willy withered away, just ain't fun at all So, I will go for No Country just because Kiera is not in it.

Are you sure this isn't just due to aftershock from the Hellraiser Project..? (...Iiii'm just kidding. I haven't even seen the flick yet. I just wanted to make the joke.) Excellent review, as always!
