So my journey has begun to see all of the Best Picture Nominees before the Oscars next month.This is a film that I was going to see last week with or with out a nomination. George Clooney gives a great performance as a man trying to reconnect with his daughters after an accident puts his wife into a coma. Shailene Woodley really impressed me. Hopefully she will get some more good material to work with and will get away from that awful show she's on as soon as her contract is up. She's proven that she deserves better. Overall, the movie just felt like an honest depiction of family tragedy with enough humor to keep the story from being overly depressing.That's 4 down, 5 more to go. Blockbuster has shipped Tree of Life, so I will be watching that one in the next few days. This morning, I have been debating whether or not to hit the theater before going to work tonight. Based on the number of showtimes, I would say that both Hugo and War Horse will probably gone by the end of the week. I've made the mistake in the past, thinking that I would have more opportunities, only for the movies to be yanked out of theaters. Last year, I ended up seeing 127 Hours in a hotel room on the morning of the Oscars. This year, I don't want to cut it this close. Unfortunately, I'm just not in the mood to go to the movies this morning. I'm off on Thursday, so I just may have to make it a double-feature.
