i totally agree with you. scarlett is so annoying in every bloody film she’s in… i mean, she plays the same character over and over.
rebecca hall didn’t get the recognition she deserved.

Couldn’t agree more…I thought the movie was funny and was surprised to find out that Vicky was not Scarlett Johansson…I was under the impression that Penelope was Christina…anyway as funny as I thought Penelope was as Maria Elena I really believed Taraji deserved the Oscar IMHO =D

I thought the movie was pretty blah, not sure if it was worth the 4.50 I paid to rent it & I personally thought that the girl who played Vicki was super annoying, or maybe it was Vicki that was annoying, who knows but I do totally agree that Penelope was really good as her character but not Oscar worthy.

Agreed! I didn’t think Penelope’s performance was oscar-worthy either. LOVE AMY ADAMS.

Well I’ve never understood the love for Penelope Cruz. I don’t think she can act, she’s certainly not good looking and I can never understand a damned word she says.

haha too funny. i watched that on demand with my best friend the same night haha. But i disagree i think penelope cruz was so amazing in that role, like she was maria elena. i like that it wasnt as much of a serious role and that she got the recognition. love the movie too.

An average movie made worse with the weird guy talking over it explaining pointless things and the one song they had as a soundtrack in every other scene. Drove me INSANE!

I completely agree with everyone here! VCB was alright, and none of the performances were that great, save for Penelope. Was it Oscar worthy? Meh. Sorta. Anywhoo, hope you feel better Trent! Drink lots of fluid and take it easy!

watch out, Trent! i had the exact same symptoms about a week ago and i thought i was fine by the next day … then i felt even WORSE the day after because i actually got up and moved around. turned out, i had the flu and was out of school for a week, not being about to move.
so, if i were you, i would take a few days off and not do much of anything. just in case.
feel better!!

I haven’t been a fan of Scarjo since Match Point. I think she isnt that great and i boycott everything she is in now. lol but i do really wanna see Vicky Christina Barcelona…ill give it a shot.

Agreed on every account. I thought the movie was alight… just WAY over hyped and totally not Oscar worthy.. sorry.

That is so funny that you saw VCB last night…I just watched it on Friday night w/ my mom (& a bottle of wine! :) on demand too!! I really had no idea what the movie was about, except for the fact that Penelope won an Oscar, which I also agree she didn’t deserve. It was a good movie, but I didn’t like how Rebecca Hall’s character “settled” in the end, it kinda irked me! haha Anywho, Trent I hope that you feel better & have a good rest of the weekend!! :)

Penelope Cruz is no doubt a good actress. I liked VCB a lot. Doubt, however, was a very strong movie with insanely strong acting.

I agree with most of the comments. However, Penelope stole the show when she explodes onto the screen mid-movie. I almost think that it’s the A/B experience that got her the oscar. After watching Scarjo self-beauty-conscious act up to that point, focusing on looking pretty pretty pretty, the rawness and actual acting of Penelope looked all the more phenomenal. Hey, there’s a notion an actress who’s face actually moves!

We rented the same movie yesterday and when it was over, we both looked at each other and go, “that’s it?” what was all the hype about!? she didn’t even show up until like 50 minutes into the movie. don’t get me wrong, she is a fantastic actress, but not sure about Oscar-worthy in this particular role. We also went out to see the Wrestler and thought Marisa Tomei did well, as did Mickey Rourke. Doubt is next on our list.
Get well soon!

I LOVED vicky, cristina, barcelona!
And i COMPLETELY agree with you that Scarlett was very boring in the movie! She just seemed lost among great actors
Javier Bardem was also SO good in it, he was such a ladies man in it LOL
IMHO Penelope totally deserved the Oscar, she was fantastic as Maria Elena, her acting was very intense. I’m glad she is getting recognition in Hollywood :D she was also fantastic in Almodovar’s Volver
