That's 13 period drama films nominated for Oscars! Amazing!! I have seen 8 of them and enjoyed each and every one. I do wish I had read Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy before I saw the film however as it was a bit hard to follow. I haven't seen The Artist, My Week With Marilyn, Albert Nobbs, Tree of Life or W.E.. I plan to see all of those, with the possible exception of Tree of Life, unless one of my readers tells me it's definitely worth seeing. It just looks a bit weird to me. But even W.E. (which has been panned by critics) looks like it would be at least a good rental.
Great year for flicks! Enjoy the Oscars tonight everyone.
Thanks for the summary--now I have some films to root for. I rarely see a movie in the theater so I rarely have seen any of the contenders for the awards.
ReplyDeleteGo Jane Eyre!
I agree. Jane Eyre deserves an award. Fingers crossed!
DeleteI've seen The Artist (my favorite!), Tinker, Tailor..., The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, and MOST regrettably The Tree of Life. It's an awful mess - an utter waste of time. But that's just my opinion, of course ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing Albert Nobbs and My Week with Marilyn.
Ohh, now I really want to see The Artist. Soon I hope. Sounds like I'll just stay away from Tree of Life.
DeleteI can understand people not liking the Tree of Life, but I found it to be one of the most beautiful and moving films I've ever seen. It struck a deep, personal chord that I've never found in other movies. It relies more on fleeting image montages and music than plot or dialogue and it captures perfectly the chaos of memories and existential musings. But it's definitely not for the faint of heart. If movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey don't work for you, then avoid it.
ReplyDeleteBut I agree about The Artist--marvelous film in every way. I was smiling the entire time, and wanted to watch it again immediately afterward. So glad it won!
Maybe this weekend for seeing The Artist. My sis and niece gave it two thumbs up also.
DeleteI've got a lot of movies to watch...better get busy. But, oh, how to find the time! Thanks for the post. I always love to watch the Oscars.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. My list of "to be watched" gets longer and longer! Cheers!
