I would have been fine with him winning the Oscar for the Larry Flynt film. This is my first time ever hearing about "The Messenger." Reminds me a little bit of "Taking Chance." Hope this one is as good as that film was. I think it'll inevitably be overshadowed by the war film of the year though, "The Hurt Locker."Daveynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40369801809295437172009-09-30T01:57:45.485-04:002009-09-30T01:57:45.485-04:00I'm not sure about that Jena Malone-Kirsten St...I'm not sure about that Jena Malone-Kirsten Stewart comment, Nat.

The greatness mostly comes in extended sequences where Woody & Ben break the news to the loved ones (usually cameos by notable names and/or recognizable faces). These scenes are heartwrenching, suspenseful, and utterly compelling. <br /><br />The relationship stuff between the two leads is okay-pretty good, and Samantha Morton's recurring subplot actually almost kills the movie. Anyway, not sure about awards prospects, but Foster is good, and Harrelson's quiet, intense turn will probably impress purely based on how diametrically opposed it is to his recent roles/persona. He's probably the awards prospect if there is one (probably supporting actor).Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869577550036962998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-52552876666143630942009-09-29T23:32:02.683-04:002009-09-29T23:32:02.683-04:00Yeah Samantha can do wrong...even if she robs Scar...Yeah Samantha can do wrong...even if she robs Scarlett of an Oscar nomination I still can't hate her [stole the show in Minority Report]. Jena Malone I really hope she gets back on track, <b>scratch that </b>starts a new track because she was never that big to begin with. Harrelson and Foster...
