Okay, I’ve seen three films on my must-see-before-the-Oscars film list. Collateral (best supporting actor Jamie Foxx), Maria Full of Grace (best actress Catalina Sandino Moreno) and Shark Tale (best Animated feature).

To my surprise I really liked Collateral. I’m not a big fan of Tom Cruise, but some how he is very convincing as a ruthless assassin. Jamie Foxx is excellent as the hapless taxi driver and deserves the accolades. The film has plenty of excitement with a stylish and dark view of Los Angeles.
