[In Between Man]

Has anyone seen "The King's Speech"? Is it good?

 

[Colpy]

Has anyone seen "The King's Speech"? Is it good?

Very good.

118 minutes, as the movie obviously approached the end, I looked at my watch in amazement.......I thought it had just gotten well underway.

 

[The Old Medic]

Why would anyone care?

Getting an Oscar has absolutely nothing to do with how good a movie is, it is how popular it (or the people that made it) is with the academy voters.

 

[TenPenny]

I really enjoyed 'The King's Speech', it was a great movie.

Black Swan was terrible - it turned into a bad parody of a cheap horror flick with bad special effects, I can't understand how it got such rave reviews.

 

[Icarus27k]

For the record, I'll guess...

Picture: Social Network
Director: Social Network
Actor: King's Speech
Actress: Winter's Bone
Supporting Actor: The Fighter
Supporting Actress: The Fighter (Leo)




I hope I run the table.
