Guess who won Critics' Choice for Best Picture? (and best director, and an extremely well-deserved best supporting actor) 
( you can't stop what's coming. )

That's right. 

Javier Bardem, after the ceremony:  "I don't think about the Academy Awards.  I'm from Spain."

How is my lj turning into a movie blog? 

I do want to see There Will Be Blood, if it ever comes.  And Cloverfield.  Heh heh.  I bet Kim wants to see a monster movie about Godzilla eating Manhattan... right, Kim?  I mean, just look at this trailer!  So many explosions... "so much death".
