Once again, I spent the past month or so trying to see as many Oscar nominated films as I could. For getting such a late start this year, I think I did pretty good! It was an excellent year for movies, and I can honestly say I have no idea who's going to win on Sunday - I can't wait to watch it!
I just saw Dallas Buyers Club last night! A hard movie to watch, but so glad I did. I will be shocked if both Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto don't win awards for this film - they were outstanding. Such a great story about overcoming odds.
Intense! I love movies like Captain Phillips that keep me on the edge of my seat,
but since it's a true story, I know how it ends :) I love Tom Hanks as
the Captain and cannot believe he didn't get nominated.
So hard to watch, but I couldn't take my eyes away. 12 Years a Slave is a tragic true story that is hard to believe but so beautifully portrayed by the amazing cast. They say this one could take home the Best Picture award, and I wouldn't be surprised at all.
Written by a man from Seattle, Nebraska is
heartbreaking yet incredibly sweet. Maddie and I came out of this movie agreeing it was depressing but we loved it. Though completely in black and white, it feels so real and has you
rooting for the stubborn old man who just believes what people tell him.
I just saw Philomena this week and loved it. Judy Dench was so sweet
and lovable in it and had me both laughing and crying throughout the
movie. And her relationship with the reporter? Perfect. A great true story that made me want to learn more about that bit of history.
I was prepared not to like Her, and ended up loving it.
The storyline {a man that falls in love with his computer operating
system set in the not so distant future} seems so unbelievable, but this
movie just gets it right and at the end, you truly believe in that love.
The colors, the acting, the story - everything about this movie was
beautiful.
I loved everything about American Hustle - the costumes, the story, the
hair.....J-Law is by far my favorite - I was laughing out loud at
everything she says, and she makes her crazy character so lovable.
Definitely one of the most entertaining of the bunch.
