Editors Note - Lost in Translation has pulled in $30 million since it opened in September, but is ten times a better film than MOST films in the top ten. ?Bill Murray has been given Best Actor nods from the San Francisco, New York, Boston, Toronto, and National film critic circles; plus Indie Spirit and Golden Globe noms. ?It's a damn good film. ?
