The Carpetbagger gives his final five and tosses in the possibility of Defiance making a show in more categories than expected:
“Slumdog Millionaire”
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
“The Dark Knight”
“Frost/Nixon”
“Milk”Each has their share of endemic voters, and each, except “Slumdog,” could get knocked down by a sniper like “Gran Torino.” And the Bagger has a weird tip about tomorrow’s broader pattern. Beware “Defiance.” A mean friend of his described it as “ ‘Home for Purim’ with guns,” but the Bagger has been hearing stuff. Not saying it threatens to go huge, but it will in there.
