Hitch or Miss, Part Deux

So all I have to say is thank God I used a gift certificate to see “Hitch”. In all fairness, it wasn’t all that bad but between the predictability and being mind-numbingly painful to watch on the eve of a failed relationship, it lost points with me. I would recommend it as a DVD pick when it comes out in another month or so…

I’d also like to add my two cents on this year’s awards season. Two of my absolute favorite films of the last year (”Garden State” and “Motorcycle Diaries”) were snubbed during both the Oscars and Golden Globes for best picture, acting/directing honors, etc. (I am aware the “Diaries” was academy award-nominated for screenplay, which it shouldnt’ve lost!!). Both films were more poignant than “Ray” and “Million Dollar Baby”, and they struck a chord with me long after I left the theater. Why couldn’t a biopic about Che Guevara have the same commercial success as a film about Ray Charles? Did everyone go to the latter film because the lead actor was in “Booty Call”?!!!
