There will probably not be an update tomorrow, as I have an all-day meeting, then an after-school meeting, then tomorrow evening, I will be taking the Online Jeopardy test! I last took the test in 2005, and succeeded in getting a "callback". Very exciting. Ergo, there might not be time for a movie tomorrow. This is fine, since I am now six movies to the good. Haha!
I love Minerva McGonagall, er, Maggie Smith. Ever since the first time I saw her in a movie, likely as the Mother Superior in Sister Act, I've been enamored with her. She always plays such headstrong women (in the same way that most of Judy Greer's earliest roles were as timid little things), and it was a pleasure to watch her in her first of two Oscar-winning roles (her second was as, ironically, an Oscar loser in California Suite) as a teacher "in her prime" whose unconventional teaching gets her into trouble. And, frankly, I was astounded by the ending. Of course, it was all leading up to it proper (British alert!), but it still caught me by surprise. Smith's Oscar is well-earned.
Score: 8.5/10
