So I got the DVD of "Little Miss Sunshine" last week.
I typically don't buy movies. Not because I don't like movies, but because I can't remember what the names are of the ones I like or whether I've already seen them or not. (I don't seem to have this problem with books, so I don't know what my issue is. For now, we'll just call it cinemamnesia and move along with the story.)
So, after watching Sunshine twice in theaters and once at a friend's house, I decided it was worthy of sitting on a small shelf next to my TV along with a few other select movies I've bought over the years ("Life is Beautiful" "Dead Man Walking" "My Cousin Vinny" "Tortilla Soup," etc.)
This weekend I had a lot of fun memorizing the names of the scenes and flipping back and forth watching the movie out of order.
I think Abigail Breslin should get the Oscar for best supporting actress. To be 12 years old and steal the show the way she did... well, I think she deserves it more than any of the other big-name Hollywood beauties who are running alongside her (whoever they are).
Plus, it's about time Olive won something....
