While I'm attempting to break into the entertainment industry, I've been lagging on my actual movie watching. A favored pastime of mine is staying in with a bottle of wine, a good movie and friends. It's the perfect combination for a relaxing yet fun night. Since moving to LA though, I have only been to two movies in theaters and only rented one movie! Noticing I've only see two of the 10 Best Picture nominees, I decided it was time to reignite my love of movie watching.
First order of business was creating a list of all the movies I've missed over the past months. Including the remaining Best Picture nominees plus the others I want to see, my list totaled to more than 20 movies. Whoops, this is going to take longer than I planed. Prioritizing my life, I decided I should watch the Best Picture nominees first. To lighten up the heavy story lines of most of the nominations, I planned to sprinkle in a few of the comedies from my "want to see" list.
Since I had already seen Black Swan and Inception, I settled on The Kids are Alright and The Social Network as my first choices. For my sprinkle of funny, I watched Toy Story 3 and Easy A next. It was definitely a movie marathon! Still on my list is Winter’s Bone, which I plan to rent this weekend. Just in time for the Oscars, I’m going to spend my hard earned money to actually see The King’s Speech in theaters. It is the winner front-runner, and I adore Colin Firth too.
I might write some reviews closer to the awards, but I’m not sure yet. I will however rank my favorites, even though I won’t be able to get to all of them since four are still in theaters.
