Curious to see what movies you have seen lately that is on the list of Oscars for Best Picture and other categories...
I will see a few more. Usually my wife and I see them together but there are some she does not care to see in the theatre (like Avatar) so I'll go see that myself.
On our list to see:
Invictus
Up in the Air
Single Man
The Blind Side
Precious
Avatar
Sherlock Holmes
Below is a list of those we have seen (many are multiple nominees):
2010 Nominations
I (we) have seen:
Best Picture
UP - The thing I like about animation like this, you get into it so much you forget you are watching an animated feature.
Hurt Locker - I was hesitant to see this as I have heard it is too intense and too true to life. This is a spectacular movie, extremely well directed and acted, and mega intense. Difficult subject matter to deal with and this movie does not hold anything back.
Actor in a Supporting Role -
Inglourious Basterds Christoph Waltz - If you like Quintin Tarantino you will like his typical quirky style in this WWII movie.
Animated Feature -
Caroline - not that impressed with this
Cinematography -
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - If you see one, you have to see them all just to watch these kids grow up.
Makeup -
Star Trek - I really love how this storyline went and did the original series and flicks justice
Short Film (Animated) -
A Matter of Loaf and Death - This is from the creators or Wallace and Grommit. I am a huge fan of claymation and admire the patience it takes to create a short let alone a feature film. This is worth watching to keep up with one goofy Brit and his canine.
