Late Oscar Thoughts

I know, I am late.  The Red Carpet has begun and I am typing furiously.  Most of these thoughts were jotted down yesterday on my iPod while enjoying 4 of the Best Picture Nominees at the AMC Theater Best Picture Showcase.  Having 10 films nominated has made it more difficult to be sure to see them all.  Lucky for me there are a couple I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to see even if they win.

Up

Even seeing it a second time didn’t make me like it any better. Yes if  is a good movie but best picture no not in my opinon

Up in the air

This movie to me is pretty much George clooney being George clooney. I had a very hard time separating the actor from the character.

Precious

Compelling is the best word I can use to describe this movie. If you allow yourself to become immersed in the plot become a part of the movie it will touch you jn ways you may find hard to deal with.

Blind side

The performaves in this movie stand out to me more than the story itself. Sandra Bullock is amazing as the mother and a surprisngly good performance by Tim McGraw as the dad to say nothing of the youngest son SJ.

Avatar

I may rent this eventually but I doubt it.

Inglouriois bastards

Yeah no I don’t think I can ever bring myself to watch this.

A Serious Man

Gah!  The Coen brothers perplex the hell out of me.

The Hurt Locker

Wow pretty much sums it up.  Although the ability to lose myself in the movie kept getting interrupted by the thoughts that our men and women go through this shit everyday. And that people in many countrys
live this horror all the time. Amazing film.

An Education

A good movie all the way through until they pulled out the pink shiny ribbon and tied it into a perfect little bow in the end.

Crazy Heart

As Erika pointed out it is the Wrestler, but with no wrestling.  To which I think is a bonus as well as the fact that there is no Mickey Rourke.

Best Picture – The Hurt Locker

Best Actress – Sandra Bullock

Best Supporting Actress – Mo’Nique

Best Actor – Jeff Bridges

Best Supporting Actor – Matt Damon

Best Director – Kathryn Bigelow

Wow! You only missed one. Not too bad. Even though it is the only one I did not see, I was pulling for the Hurt Locker. Anything but Avatar was OK with me.

Once again, you have proven that you are an accomplished movie maven. I have only seen one picture, “Blind Side” and enjoyed it. The opening line was hilarious for me: “As every housewife knows, the left tackle protects the quarterbacks blind side.”
