I continue to check-off Oscar nominated movies from my to-see list! In additon to ones I previously saw here and here, I've seen a few more in the past week or so:
- Mindy and I grabbed dinner at Whole Foods 2 Fridays ago. Why don't we do this more often?! So yummy, easy, convenient, and inexpensive! Afterwareds, we saw Barney's Version. I liked it. Found it to be slow at times. Didn't love it.
- Netflix sent me Animal Kingdom. I didn't know what to expect of this. Once I got used to the accents, I got really into it and actually kind of liked it. Even though it is a pretty awful, depressing story.
- This past Friday, I went with Lucy and Angela to Dogmatic (love it). Then we went to see Winter's Bone. I nearly had no expectations for this one and quite liked it!
- Saturday night, Stacy and I went to see Blue Valentine. I was soooo frustrated by this movie. I really had been looking forward to this one. There were parts of the story that were never explained and the ending felt totally unresolved. Stacy asked if it was a book first?! I don't know the answer to that, but maybe it was and maybe the book includes the rest of the story that I felt like we were missing! Pretty much a disappointmment, but I did enjoy Michelle William's and she's up for the Oscar (though there's no way she'll beat Portman).

I just saw the list of Oscar nominations. I think it's very telling that the only ones I have seen on the entire list of the biggies - Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland....and I do believe I saw both of those in Dallas last - one at the theater, and one we rented while at your sisters! I'm such a movie recluse!
