i haven't been shaken at the movies since i saw requiem for a dream or dancer in the dark. the feeling returned after watching big fish and 21 grams. back to back. i was on the verge of a full-on breakdown right then and there. ok call me a softie, but they hit the spot. highly recommended. honestly i think benicio del toro, albert finney, sean penn, naomi watts and ewan mc gregor should be fucking nominated. and steve buscemi always rocks! tim burton has shown the perfect mix of drama and visual surrealism....and 21 grams direction and soundtrack. whew!
