I do not have the priviledge of T.V. watching, as I do not make the time for it....but I have to say that \Christina Barcelona was a very very good film!! LOVED IT!! ---saw it last summer when it came out. I am not a big fan of Penelope Cruz even though we both speak fluent Spanish, I just do not click with her.

Thank you for posting some of the highlights on the Oscar event (which has gone under tremendous fire lately, by the critics of course)

Disappointed Mickey Rourke didn't get the oscar for best actor. Was a great movie and he did an awesome job.

Just watched wall.e last weekend.

Fantastic work.

At the end of the movie I was actually caring about a robot??!!

I am biased towards milk as a movie about human rights normally isn't my preference but SP was just fantastic on it , I can say anything about Rourke as I didn't see TW.

His speech was one of the best during the night.
