Coincidentally, I saw “No Country For Old Men” the day before the Oscars were handed out, and not having seen any of the other nominees for best picture, I can’t compare it to its competition. My first reaction after seeing it though, was that while it was a very good film, certainly something else would win best picture honours.

Javier Bardem is chillingly convincing as a psycopathic killer, but he had next to nothing to say in the movie!

For my money, the best movie of the year is a Golden Globe nominee called “Into The Wild.” I encourage you to pick it up when it is released on video.

What a bonus! A long weekend in February! To those of you who have Monday off, I hope you do have time to kick back and spend time with your loved ones. This holiday could not have come at a better time, considering how generally depressing February can be.

Lisa and I have the day off, which we are very grateful for, and we’ll be back on the 570 Morning News on the 19th!

Enjoy!

The Juno Award nominees have been announced, and at the risk of sounding like an out-of-touch old geezer, I have to say I have reached that inevitable point of not giving a flying fahoot about who wins and who loses. Heck, I don’t even care who is nominated.

This view is not meant as a criticism of the nominees or their respective talent, but merely serves as an indication of my detachment. Oddly, though, I will watch the awards telecast on April 6th, because I love awards shows. Besides, who knows, maybe Neil Young, or Robbie Robertson, or Gordon Lightfoot, or Joni Mitchell, or Leonard Cohen, or Bruce Cockburn will make a surprise appearance.
