NOTES

- Show Dick aka Paul Gleason some respect. "Principal Dean Vernon" is really just "Dean Vernon."

- Interesting to note that Daniel Day-Lewis is most well known for playing a fictional character (Plainview) while Phoenix got an Oscar nom for playing a real person (Cash).

- It occurs to me (AK) there's a significant difference between Will Smith as Ali and Day-Lewis as Lincoln -- I know how Ali talks and moves; I really have no idea how Lincoln talks or walks.

- True that Michael Shannon played a big-screen baddie in "Premium Rush" this past year; still seems odd to see him as a villain in a superhero movie.

- "Behind the Candelabra" will air on HBO this year.
