I have now seen all the Oscar nominated (best picture) films. The other day Colin and I caught a matinee showing of Letters from Iwo Jima. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It was interesting to see what happened on Iwo Jima from the Japanese point of view; plus, it's the companion piece to Flags of our Fathers, which we saw some time ago.

Later that evening I went out with Lisa, Andrew and Die to see Babel - another good film.

It's really hard to choose one to best pic since they are all great films, and all very different. But if I had to pick, either Little Miss Sunshine, or the Departed... But Paul Haggis and Clint Eastwood seem to be on a role with Oscar, so maybe it will be Letters from Iwo Jima.

After seeing the latter film, I thought it would be a good idea to rent Tora Tora Tora. So after a sleepy, cum heart attack hockey game (Vancouver vs. Atlanta), and late-nite all you can eat sushi, Colin and I headed to Rogers to rent Tora Tora Tora. They didn't have it - Rogers only has DVDs now. At least the Marpole store does.

But life if full of strange happenings... Yesterday I was watching some cheesy movie on KVOS, when the Sunday night movie flashed across the bottom... Tora, Tora, Tora. I couldn't believe it.
