Seriously, has anyone else seen this? I know it was aired on TV in the US about a year ago so it's not really hot news, but it's just been released on DVD over here.<BR/><BR/>Oh. My. Good. God. Is Latifah beyond brilliant in this or what? She won the Best Actress Golden Globe and SAG (and I'm sure narrowly missed the Emmy to Helen 'awards-horse' Mirren). Almost bagged the trifecta. I know this post is too far down in the comments thread, but, please, someone tell me what they thought of the performance. Has anyone else even seen the film? I'd love to have a dialogue with someone about it, but no-one's seemed to have seen it and it's not a film that really gets talked about in the blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>Latifah is so good that she immediately (but not without a pang of sadness) replaced Julie Christie as my Best Actress pick for 2007, with it regrettably bumping the lovely Laura Linney out of my Best Actress shortlist.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone else agree that if LIFE SUPPORT had a cinematic release, Latifah would've been a shoo-in for a nomination, if not the win (disease theme, previous nominee, American) in such a divisive Best Actress year without a strong frontrunner?<BR/><BR/>Slightly too obsessed by this film this morning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75775415175022622052008-05-11T02:53:00.000-04:002008-05-11T02:53:00.000-04:00Face/OffRemember how Nick Cage can smoke without l...Face/Off<BR/><BR/>Remember how Nick Cage can smoke without lips??<BR/><BR/>-Whitney<BR/>dearjesus.wordpress.comwhitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048153758556096552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-46733188392633167392008-05-11T01:34:00.000-04:002008-05-11T01:34:00.000-04:00Ballad of a Soldier.
