Lincoln

Different Strokes I guess.

I thought it was fantastic.  But I'm also a history buff.  I would probably say I like Argo a BIT more for the entertainment value.  I liked them both better than Flight and Les Mis, but all of them were up there.

If I had all of them on DVD in front of me at this very moment, I would probably put in Lincoln or Argo first to watch again.

As a side note, my wife is a member of SAG, so as a perk, we get movies sent to us for review.  In a couple weeks, we will be getting official copies of all those movies!  We already have ARGO!

I DO pay attention to the best picture nominations and eventually try to get around to them.  They are usually pretty accurate.  I had no intention of seeing Hurt Locker before it was nominated then I was shocked at what I could have missed.

The only one I STILL don't get is The English Patient.  Of all the winners, and even most of the nominations of my generation, I did NOT like it.  Just about everything else I see I will say "yeah, I get it".

Since I haven't seen anything that was nominated except Brave I can't say but maybe it's because everything else is that bad.

I really thought this was an outstanding year.

Flight, Les Mis, ARGO, Lincoln

And come on, Piranha 3DD   (yes the double D's was the intentional title) was epic!

I was dragged to see Lincoln and loved it. There didn't seem to be a wasted word in the movie. You have to be ready to sit and really pay attention though.

I still haven't gotten over Forrest Gump beating out Shawshank Redemption. I must be the only person I know who didn't like Gump.

I just watched Gump the other night on HBO.  Fantastic!  Granted, Shawshank could be my most favorite movie ever.  I still remember the chills at the "twist" and summary sequence the first time I saw it.

It was not better than Shawshank, but I can see how it competed and can't say it was a travesty that it won.

I think we should bring back the hair cuts and mustaches...
