A goal of mine is to see as many of the movies nominated for Oscars as possible... before the Oscars. I have a lot to see! For a listing of nominees, please visit: http://www.oscar.com/nominees/?pn=nominees#top.
This weekend I saw Revolutionary Road. I was torn as to whether or not I liked this movie. It reminded me of American Beauty - Tragically beautiful; a classic depiction, sadly true, of the common marriage. This movie left me feeling depressed, hopeless, and sad. Not my goal that evening. On the flip side: the acting was brilliant, the cinematography was creative, the costume and set design was classic and the music fit it perfectly. And it was just a movie. My hope was restored today on my adventures with the new people I met on my "new" 2nd job.
Of the movies nominated in every category, I have 39 left to see (this includes documentaries, foreign and short films). The movies that I will try my hardest to make time to see before the Oscars:
Changeling
Doubt
Frost/Nixon
Frozen River
Happy-Go-Lucky
In Bruges
Rachel Getting Married
The Class
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Reader
The Wrestler
Waltz With Bashir
If you want to join me, let me know!

it does seem that most movies nominated every year are very sad, I guess that is what makes them good.
