I couldn't agree more. _Michael Clayton_ was entertaining and fairly though provoking but was hardly a great film. THe performances were really good though, especially Tilda Swinton.
_Juno_ was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Nearly unwatchable, and the dialogue was horrific. I only stayed with it because I really like a lot of the actors in it, especially Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garmer.
_Gone Baby Gone_ was a far superior movie to both of them and deserved a nomination. A great film, really well shot and really well acted. The Afflecks might have come into fame through Ben's looks and early acting, but he's looking to be promising director and Casey is certainly turning out to be quite the actor. I remember a long time ago, for _Good Will Hunting_ (I think) and Ben was saying that Casey was a far superior actor than him and that he hoped the world would realize it. Very cool... and a fantastic film.
