Ok- it's taken me a while to get caught up but let me just say-- Ladies, we have a pretty good field to pick from this year! 

My latest:  Silver Linings Playbook.  I liked this more than I thought I would-- and my only conflict (which was resolved on the way home) was the ending.  When I was leaving the theater I was ticked it was such a "everybody loves everybody" ending.  We all know that mental illness + mental illness typically yields a SH*# storm so I called my own bull#%^t!  It wasn't until the ride home I realized that the crazy road ahead was implied, not glossed over.  These two are going to have to work hard but they are in it for all they have left to give.

Beasts of the Southern Wild-- I commented on a fellow Lady Friend post that to me it felt like an after school special-- with a little "Where the Wild Things Are" meets "Winter's Bone" with a dash of "Inconvenient Truth".  Sorry, as cute as Hushpuppy was, this did not feel like an Oscar movie to me.

We pretty much agree on the rest thus far, but let me say I did love Moonrise Kingdom-- an Oscar movie?  Probably not, but in a sea of over-acting mouthy adolescents typically found it todays movies- I found these children to be delightful.  And I do not normally find children delightful- so well done.

I have saved a big one for last-- I hope to see Le Miserables Thursday (hey- it's not that I didn't want to see it, but I knew it would stay in the theater the longest). 

I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!!
