Showtime

 


I've continued making my way through the list of movies I want to see before the Oscars are presented on February 26th. I'm well on my way - having seen seven of the nine Best Picture contenders and 14 movies overall. My favorite is The Descendants with The Artist ( which I've seen twice) a close second.

Most inane movie - Melancholia.
Most predictable ( despite all the suspense) - We Need To Talk About Kevin.
Most delightful - Midnight in Paris
Most uplifting - 50/50
Most depressing - Margin Call
Most fun - Bridesmaids
Most gut wrenching - Jane Eyre

My original list of 33 has been reduced to twenty-ish.
On the near horizon:
The Tree of Life
A Better Life
Carnage
and the documentary "Pina"

To the movies!
