Revolutionary Road
The director of American Beauty and Road to Perdition has this year given one of the strongest emotional drama which is Revolutionary Road. Kate Winslet is a very good contender for this year's Best Actress Oscar along with Meryll Streep(Doubt, which i haven't seen yet) and Anne Hathaway(for Rachael Getting Married, which also i haven't seen yet). Leonardo di Caprio is as usual a very strong performer. But the showstoppers of the movie were Michael Shannon and David Harbour. 4 on 5
Che : The Argentine(part 1)
Benecio del Toro defintely deserved the best actor's award at Cannes Film Festival. I only got to see the first part of Soderberg's 4 hour long epic about the revolutionary Communist General of Fidel Castro, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, which is "The Argentine". And it was one hell of an experience. Too good. Soderberg is defintely one of our times' best directors. I hope the world gets to see this phenomenon of a movie. And I hope I get to see the second part of this epic which is "Guerrila" as soon as possible. 5 on 5.
The Wrestler
Mickey Rourke! I had only seen his Domino and Sin City and i did not know what he would be capable of. But I was wrong. Mickey Rourke is not only a very very natural actor but also a brilliant one. Aronofsky is of course something else entirely. I have only seen his Pi as of yet and trust me when i say this, it is one of those flms which have truly INFLUENCED me. I don't think i can say anymore. 5 on 5.
Frost/Nixon
If not for Milk, then this would have been the only outstanding political drama of the year. Michael Sheen as Richard Nixon and Frank Langella as David Frost. Deadly. I don't want say much about this movie. But of course this is a Ron Howard film. 4 on 5.
Milk
Gus Van Sant's direction and Sean Penn's acting. What a beautiful collision!! One of the finest movies of our time. clearly. This was one heck of a movie. Wether it was James Franco or Emile Hirsch, every body was exceptional in this movie. And of course a very special mention for Josh Brolin who really was something else entirely. Excellent. Sean Penn deserves atleast a nomination in Best Actor's category and so does Josh Brolin in Best Supporting Actor's category. 4.5 on 5.

MARLON BRANDO

Now i had already made a list of crazy actors but this man is the winner hands down. There is only one reason for this man being the greatest actor because he could do anything on screen. Dont believe me watch THE GODFATHER, LAST TANGO IN PARIS, ON THE WATERFRONT, APOCALYPSE NOW,THE STREET CAR NAMED DESIRE, etc.
