Day 50 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Started at 11am with "Dragon Tattoo" and it was so much fun to watch. Im glad we started with it because it was the longest of the bunch and my brain was firing on all cylinders because of the coffee so I could follow much better.
Next on the list was "Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy" and it was my fault for putting two movies similar in genre back to back. We watched an hour but had to switch to something more light hearted which brings me to...
Hugo! At this point the group was starting to grow and I became distracted working on my postcards so I missed the last half but from what I did watched I have to say Martin is a master.
Fourth on the list was "Ides of March" and this turned several great performances. No one in the group could remember why we were watching it since it was supposed to be a Pre-Oscar party and "Ides" was not up for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting. I think I got confused but it was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay so we continued!
Finally, ended with "Midnight in Paris" and what an ending it was. I loved this movie so much the first time I was taken to see it kicking and screaming. It really is Owen Wilson's laid back delivery that makes it work.
Im glad the group made it out.
Best Actress is going to be a hard category. Rooney Mara, Glenn Close, Meryl Streep and Michelle Williams all had to combat with varying degrees of transformation. Rooney had psychological issues, physical alterations, an accent, physical nature of her character plus a rape scene. Meryl and Michelle have the task of playing real people, Margaret Thatcher and Marilyn Monroe so they have all of history watching. And Glenn Close has to pull of a completely different sex. Thats not to say Viola Davis didn't do a fantastic job because she has me in tears. Hard category.
Jase Lindren helped me with photoshop so I could finish my postcards!
Until tomorrow!
