I saw it last night. I thought it was very good but not great. It was visualy stunning, but the plot became too sentimental at times. The performances were solid, and I'l be surprised if Newman doesn't recive an Oscar nomination.

The Oscars recive far to much critasism. It seems like every time they don't coencide perfectly with people's choices, they say that the Oscars are out of their minds. I think Goodfellas should have won best picture in 1990, but Dances With Wolves was hardly a bad film. If they had given Independence Day best picture, then I would say that they are idiots. As for Titanic, I think it's a very good film, and I won't listen to anyone who says it's crap until they come up with a valid reason as to what's wrong with it. I can respest your opinion as long as you have an intelegent reason for it. "It's boring", just isn't enough to convince me.
