Can't wait. Finding Waldo is one of my strengths.

Yes, I was just pointing out that nobody called them both old.

Juno, I'm guessing.


Yes. The one dead center is Once, if anyone didn't know.

I thought the lead actor was very good and the songs are great - but I thought the lead actress was a bit dull and unteresting and I found myself nodding out at moments. Maybe I wasn't convinced of the chemistry between the llead (musically, yes but otherwise, no)

I liked Year of the Dog better

An ironic observation considering the two are (or at least were) a real-life couple.

For your consideration, best song:

PoP! Goes My Heart

I always have a hard time with best song. I usually remember liking a number of them, but can rarely remember what they actually sounded like and for sure can't remember their names. Oops, I just remembered, Pop Goes My Heart was from Music and Lyrics. In days past, the noted songs from the movies would get a lot of radio play so you knew all of them.

Yeah, it's the song and video at the start of the movie, composed by Andrew Wyatt, who also plays the other member of PoP! in the video. It looks and sounds so perfect for its era, I had to check to make sure it wasn't. (The credits for the composers on the soundtracks are pseudonyms for Wyatt.)

Once, Enchanted and Wall Tall all had good candidates. I don't know if any of the songs from Black Snake Moan were original. The title song certainly isn't. I always give preference to original songs, especially if performed by the people in the movie.

I'm up for that. Catchy and fit the movie well.

My three nominations are probably going to be from Once. I can't decide which one I like the best. Either "Falling Slowly"; "If You Want Me"; or "When Your Mind's Made Up". Each 3 incredible and all of them memorable in their cinematic debuts.

When "the girl" has to go and get batteries in her pajamas and is singing (writing the lyrics) to "If You Want Me" was one of my favorite moments in 2007 film.

I liked "The Hill," which is the solo number the Girl sings near the end while she plays the piano. I thought it was better than any of the Guy's songs.

I liked ONCE for the way it used songs to articulate feelings that the character's couldn't express otherwise. It was an alt-musical that really had a fresh approach to the musical genre. But, I just don't dig that whiny-ass emo type of rock. At times, the tunes bordered on parody of Coldplay and James Blunt type songwriters. The movie won me over through its technique of storytelling and its refusal to end with an easy resolution.
