7. The Social Network - RedBox rental due to snow in, plus I had a free coupon. Also an Oscar nominee. I remember laughing at some of the first commercials I saw for this movie, before I knew Sorkin had written it. It just seemed so ridiculous. Man what a bunch of unlikable people, like generally all of them. Really smart, rich, unlikable people. The dialogue is so Sorkin I could hardly stand it.
6. Lars and The Real Girl - Netflix disk. I have had this since before we moved. in July. I was pretty sure I was not gonna like it, but I really really did. Would a town all pull together like that and not have at least some people act like dicks? no. But it was a movie and I liked seeing a community act that way. Also, I tend to be sort of broken about people who are centrally defined by their loss of a parent.
5. Alice in Wonderland - Also Netflix on demand, also an Oscar nominee. I avoided this like the plaque when it came out, but I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. As with all Burton films, I loved a lot of the costumes.
4. Exit Through The Gift Shop - On my Netflix on demand and an Oscar nominee. Eh - interesting story and development, but I pretty much hate the whole street art scene as big business. It also felt a bit Andy Kaufman stunt-esque.
3. Tron - No, I had never seen it before. Watched it with mac. Not as bad as I was assuming it would be, but kinda ridiculous. Hilarious seeing Jeff Bridges, like zero acting chops.
2. Bright Star - On my Netflix on demand. I know nothing of Romantic poets or the period, but it struck me as not accurate. Didn't love it, didn't hate it, am glad I did not pay for it.
1. The King's Speech - Awesome. Just as awesome was seeing an adult movie at a theater with another adult. Makes me long for the years where I saw most of the Oscar nominated films.
