This week I had Mystic River and the Believer. Mystic River - disturbing but good. I can't remember if Sean Penn won an Oscar for his role in this movie. I'm not going to look it up. But feel free to do so if you want to check me. Maybe it's just me. I hated the Aviator...well, I can't say I hated it because I couldn't even finish the movie because I fell asleep every time. But, I don't understand how Kate B and Leonardo D won/received nominations. Case in point, I don't know wahy Sean Penn won an Oscar for this role (if he did).
The Believer - was okay. Not worth the rental. Ryan Gosling was in it. About a Neo Nazi Kid who grew up Jewish. A lot of truth. Maybe that's why I found it so disturbing.
Along with those two movies I've been addicted to the Wimbeldon Tournament. Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams is currently on the tube playing in the Semi Finals. Venus is up 5-2 in the 1st set. I can't believe Maria S has earned over 20 million dollars in endorsments alone. She totally shove Anna Kornakova off the map. Of course I don't even know if you can put them on the same level. Yes they were/are both the highest paid female athelete. But at least Maria has actually won tournaments. Anna Kornakova was a joke.

Your instincts are correct ... Sean Penn did win the Oscar for Mystic River.
I wanted to see Aviator but never got around to it. Guess I wasn't missing much.
I did see Mr. & Mrs. Smith when I was in San Diego ... it was pretty cute. It's action comedy in the same vein as "True Lies."
