BEST FILM: Morvern Callar >> I don't know what the rules for Oscar nominations are, but I'm pretty sure "Movern" hasn't been released yet in the States. I loved the book, heard good things about the movie's direction and performances, so I am looking forward to the film. I went to see "Bowling for Columbine" last week and they showed a trailer for "Movern," so I guess it's on its way.

I can't look at him without seeing the ghost of that gerbil of urban mythology hovering behind him! As for "Chicago," I loved it and I, too, have an aversion to musicals. --Bob
