"My second pick for BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR"

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2004)

"Cold Mountain" is a triumph on every level! Renee Zellweger, Jude Law, and Nicole Kidman all give outstanding performances in the best period film of the year! I am so pleases renee won BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS at the oscars. Even though this film got snubbed for best picture, best director, best actress, best makeup, best costume design, and best cinematography, IT IS STILL MY SECOND PICK FOR THE BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR! (return of the king was my #1). This films message is probably the most important of any other film this year: Find your way home...no matter what the cost. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOVIE OF THE YEAR and I loved every inch of it. It's a full-blown **** masterpiece. "COLD MOUNTAIN" ADDS UP TO THE MOST FUN ADULTS WILL HAVE AT THE THEATERS THIS YEAR! 10/10
