"Cinderella Man"

Russell Crowe is having a good year. As an Australian actor, all his movies are making me want to move to Australia, just to check it out. Cinderella Man is about the Great Depression in the United States during the thirties. Renee Zellweger is a really convincing actress, I just don't think she pulled it off. The plot moves you up, down, and all around.

"Adaptation"

This has got to be one of the most bizarre and inspired movie scripts ever written. All the actors do a great job but the story is something else. The story keeps folding inwards on itself as the movie becomes the writer trying to write a movie that is an adaptation of a book. Nicholas Cage plays 2 twins with opposing characters. Chris Cooper plays a Orchid Hunter and Meryl Streep plays a writer who is writing about the strange world of these orchid hunters. This is a must see for anyone interested in movie writing or just a fantastic story. I'm slotting this into the Top-10.
