I love "Revolutionary Road" and "The Reader" and I honestly have to say that I sometimes prefer "The Reader" better than "Revolutionary Road." I know, I know: SACRILIGE! But hear me out. I think that even though April is more sympathetic than Hannah, it is harder to enjoy "Revolutionary Road." Additionally, with April's decision at the end of the film, it turns people off. I've talked to people who have seen both films and many said that after watching "Revolutionary Road" they wanted to slit their wrists (even though they loved it) and after "The Reader" they felt for Hannah so much. Either way, I feel that Kate gave the years best performances. It's very much like Leo in 2006 with "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond." Two of the years bests but only one could be nominated. The good thing is that no performance by an actress stands close to Kate in "The Reader."

I'm still hearing mixed reactions to "He's Just Not That Into You." I think that any movie that is geared towards women is going to suffer comparisons to "Sex and the City: The Movie" because it was fantastic. Even though they are different films, lets remember that the idea of 'he's just not that into you' began in an episode of "Sex and the City." Yeah Jennifer always seems to play the wife in an adulterous relationship or she plays someone who is severely depressed. But she is still a great actress, she was magnificant in "The House of Sand and Fog."

So apparently Madonna in a relationship with the 22 year old model Jesus Luz. He is reported to be converting to Kabbalah and his mother in Brazil believes that he has been kidnapped and has no freedom in his relationship with Madonna.

Salma Hayek has eloped with her long time boyfriend/fiance who is the father of her daughter Valentina. I'm happy with her and I'd love to marry a billionaire.
