The Center Seat

This one is tearing it up on the awards circuit this year. It just won Best Motion Picture - Drama at the Golden Globes last Sunday, but it also snagged what I think is a much greater honor: the best-reviewed movie of 2008 by the members of the LAMB (my kickass movie association), with an average rating of 5 LAMBs!

I also really enjoyed it. It was the first movie I went to see with Nuevo Man; afterwards he said what has come to be his standard post-indie movie observation: "I liked it a lot more than I thought I would." There's hope for him yet, folks.

Below are some stellar reviews of this stellar movie by some stellar movie bloggers. Please do click through and support my friends.

So I finally got my Hayley vs. O-Ren Ishii post in, and it's posted on the LAMB website. Feel free to go there and vote for your fave... but I really have to give props to my girl Pat from Doodad Kind of Town. She decided to have O-Ren torture Hayley..... at Target. Sweet.

Correction: The O-Ren portion of the post was actually written by Pat Piper of Lazy Eye Theatre. My bad.
