If this is the best the Oscars can do...

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2005)

If this is the best that the Oscars can come up with then they really should be trying harder...
On the whole a quite boring film, and I do like Clint Eastwood as a rule.
The story held nothing new, and although the acting was okay, there was nothing about the film as a whole that would make you recommend it.
Don't fret though Clint, the other Oscar top shot 'The Aviator' was just as bad!
Hey guys, why not try making some truly original films, instead of just rehashing old ideas into tired old mediocrity.
Take a look at some of the films being made in Europe (and I have no doubt elsewhere in the USA, Hollywood excepted), there are some outstandingly original films being made.
The sooner Hollywood stops equating 'the more millions of $$ we throw at a project the better it will be' the sooner we may get some decent stuff to watch.
