This is the first time where many titles competed for the "Must See" distinction for the month. I could make a case for any one of my notables, especially Miracle at St. Anna (which I prophesized a Best Picture nom) and Choke, the first Chuck Palahniuk adaptation since Fincher's brilliant Fight Club. It's a good month for movies. A good lead in to the fall movie season... but I couldn't pass on last year's Best Director and Best Picture tandem, the Coen Brothers, back to their varied, usually hilarious, and slapsticky style with Burn After Reading. And with a cast as good as Clooney, Pitt, Malkovich, Jenkins, Simmons, McDormand and Swinton, who can blame me?
Who else wants to see it and what are your "must see's" of the month?
Other Notables:
The Duchess, Miracle at St. Anna, Blindness, Choke, The Lucky Ones
