Yes! The Poetry lady gave the performance of the year.
The Descendants is not a good movie. I’m appalled by the critical love for it.
Christopher Plummer is on a heck of a roll for an octogenarian, with even a video game VO to go along with the Fincher, Tolstoy and Barrymore. Great to see him continuing on what looks like a much overdue Oscar coronation.
