Movie Marque Mashups

Here's a Flash of Genius for How to Loose Friends and Alienate People, it's Blindness, which is needed to for Beverly Hills Chihuahua. What's on Nick & Nors's Infinite Playlist, An American Carol; but Appaloosa is Forever Stong.

I can't remember the last time, if ever that eight movies opened around here on the same day. Mind bottling.

It's about Oscar Time

This site is called Oscar in the Valley, and you know it should probably be called something else now but, I can't think of what right now.
Anyway, I have been keeping track of what films are in play or could be in contention for Oscar this year, in fact I actually have quite a list going back to late June. But now that fall has begun it's the season for award watching to offically begin, for those of us who may not have anything better to do.
So, here are my predictions for October where the best picture is concerned.
BEST MOTION PICTURE
Most Likely
The Curious Case of … (Paramount Pictures) - my personal fav
Frost/Nixon (Universal Pictures) - looks good, but I don't like R.Howard
Milk (Focus Features) - looks very good, looking forward to it.
Slumdog Millionaire (Fox Searchlight) - very, very interested
Revolutionary Road (Paramount Pictures) - I've come around a little, still sounds boring
Runners Up
Changeling (Universal Pictures) - looking forward to seeing this
Australia (20th Century Fox) - I don't know, I love Baz, but hate Kidman
Doubt (Miramax Films) - Anyone need acting lessons, watch this! Fantastic Streep!
The Soloist (Dreamworks) - looks interesting, I don't like Foxx
The Dark Knight (Warner Bros.)- yeah, like this has chance, I don't think so.
Dark Horses
The Road (MGM) - I love Viggo!
The Reader (The Weinstein Co)- I like WWII pics, and I love Kate.
Che (Focus Features) - I don't know ...
Happy-Go-Lucky (Miramax)- I love the trailer, and Mike Leigh
The Wrestler (Fox Searchlight)- Yeah! A comeback.
Longshots
Wall*E (Disney)- I really loved this.
Body of Lies (Warner Bros.)- I don't know, looks more like a Tony Scott film.
Defiance (Paramount Vantage)- I like WWII films, but Zwick messes up the ending of his films
Gran Torino (Warner Bros.)- don't much about this, other than its Clint and that's good
Valkyrie (MGM)- I like WWII films, but I hate Tom!
