However, I was disappointed to see Quentin Tarantino miss out on Best Director - really thought he deserved it for <em>Inglourious Basterds</em>. Great, though, to see Christoph Walz scooping the Best Supporting Oscar and BAFTA, and Best Actor at Cannes. Hi Chris,

I quite agree with you – frankly, the last thing we needed was another James Cameron sweep, and I was really glad that Avatar didn’t lift any of the ‘big’ Oscars.

But, to be honest, I'm glad they didn't. I thought that they would split Best Director and Best Film between The Hurt Locker and Avatar. But, to be honest, I’m glad they didn’t.

And the key scene in question that Emma cites is perhaps <em>the</em> most cringeworthy in all cinema. Truly, <em>Dirty Dancing </em>has all the charm of a group of drunken ladies dancing around their handbags to <em>I Will Survive</em>. Anyone else with me on this? :-) Hi Chris,

It's a dangerous movie. :-) My fiancée sent three of my butchest mates flying in a drunken recreation of ‘Baby’ launching herself into Swayze’s arms.

It’s a dangerous movie. :-)

Brought tears to my eyes just reading your thoughts. As I already said to you, and I don't say this very often, I genuinely don't know if I can hack watching this - you know how much I like a good blub, but, and if I may borrow one of your previous utterances, this sounds like it's going to be <em>too</em> real, even for me. Or am I being a wimp? :-) Colin, an absolutely beautiful review, mate. Brought tears to my eyes just reading your thoughts.

How about <em>The Arsenal Stadium Mystery </em>as noted by Cill Bill in a recent article, or <em>Fever Pitch</em>, which worked as a book but not really as a film. If only Colin Firth had got his Arsenal shirt very wet, a lot of women would have watched it, but then sulked because no beau proposed to them at the end. Ah, football is a cruel 'mattress'. Ask Wayne Bridge. :-) Gooner, gooner, gooner – sorry, that was just some drive-by singing, ;-) , and has nothing to do with films.
