Argo just passed $100 million over the weekend. It doesn't necessarily make it a lock for the top Oscar awards, but since it has been a hit with critics and audiences, I would say it's easily one of the front-runners.

I really liked this one - Ben Affleck had good movies before, but this one was great - it better be up for some awards or I will consider it a major oversight. Easily his best film to date and one of my favorites of the year.

I have also added this movie on my watching list.

I'll finally get to see this Wednesday - though I think I'll wait until the weekend to watch Sinister (that kind of double bill is just asking for trouble). Considering the excellent word-of-mouth the film has been getting, I think this is one that will live up to all the buzz.

I saw Argo and really liked it. But, I want to see it again before I write a full review. There are a couple things I missed, and my overall reaction, while I still liked it, is kind of weird. I don't know, maybe because I saw Sinister right before it and I was tired and half asleep, but I'm probably going to see it again. I do think it's good, and Ben Afflack continues to impress me as a director.

Chances are good I'll watch this some time over the weekend. I'm hoping this has a bigger impact than The Master. We'll see if this lives up to the hype it's been receiving.

I have enough faith that I put this on my movies to watch list for this fall. From what I've seen so far, I think I'll like the movie, but I reserve judgement on awards until I've seen the final project.

I think what you mean Mike is that they were not good. I had the same feelings as you did. I disagree that Ben Afflack is a good director. I think he is an Ok director but nothing special. The Town was solid but GBG was just standard for me. I feel another acceptable movie coming from Afflack but not a true contender.

Super excited for this. Ben Afflack is a very good director, and felt he proved that after watching The Town. I haven't seen Gone Baby Gone. I have a really strong feeling this will be an Oscar contender. But who knows? I had the same feeling with Eastwood's J. Edgar and Spielberg's War Horse, and they were....fine?
