Hmmmmm....I don't think so...one has to consider the enormous amount of funds expended for the continued print and on-air advertising. For a movie released before Christmas!
Yeah, that statement was one of assumption, which you know makes....
Anyway, I had seen that, as of a month ago, it had grossed something like forty million some-odd dollars. I didn't bother to track it's progress. Now it's up to 51. Not exactly the consistent improvement you want going into the Oscars.
Seems like it had a massive novelty effect, for a while anyway. I saw it with my girlfriend, and it was alright, but if Ang Lee hadn't directed it, I don't know if I could say even that. I've seen most of the Oscar nominated movies, and some others, of this year and this falls in the middle. It's pretty much just a typical love story, with the obvious twist.
