Let’s talk about movies!

So the 82nd Academy Awards are scheduled for Sunday and even with the new extended list of nominees for Best Picture, Dan and I are a little behind. (We’ve got a pretty sweet setup in our basement for movie-viewing + we have a moral aversion to spending $25 for 2 hrs. of entertainment = we wait for Netflix to send DVDs to our mailbox.)

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the following movies, nominated for Best Picture:

  • District 9 (In my opinion, over-hyped, kinda disappointing.)
  • An Education
  • The Hurt Locker (In our Netflix queue)
  • Inglorious Basterds (In our Netflix queue)
  • The Blind Side (In our Netflix queue)
  • Precious
  • A Serious Man
  • Up (I cried during this movie. I bet y’all know which part!)
  • Up in the Air

Feel free to make a case for your pick for Best Picture, rant about your least favorite of the ten, review all the ones you’ve seen, or share your thoughts on Driscoll’s controversial remarks.
