Black Sabbath Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Going to watch Nebraska tonight. Aside from Philonema, it's the only 'Best Picture' nomination I haven't seen for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm hearing great things about Nebraska so I'm looking forward to watching it. I really liked The Descendants last year so hoping I'll like this one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Philomena is a sweet film, and it handles its necessary shifts in tone quite deftly. It also has no business being nominated for Best Picture, especially in such a strong year. Of course, pick any other year of the last decade or so and it would be the frontrunner, so it's afterthought nomination is probably not worth complaining about.

I would've replaced Phillips and Philomena with Llewyn Davis and Blue Jasmine. It's still a much better roster than usual, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Haven't watched Inside Llewyn Davis yet - waiting for a better copy to show up online.I liked Captain Phillips a lot, but I would have taken that out and replaced it with Rush.Haven't watched Blue Jasmine yet, but I hear good things about it so I'd like to eventually.

He will soon enough, as long as he stops with the awful frat boy comedies. I suspect Llewyn was so cynical about show business that some voters may have been put off by it? That's all that makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see her in anything I've not liked. And I haven't seen Arthur to spoil that, and I never plan on it seeing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Either of you see All Is Lost? Thoughts?It's very good, although I'll admit to not being entirely transported by it. Redford's best performance since his youth, without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixes Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I've been on a Redford kick lately. It's amazing how young he still looks and acts. How old is he? 78 or something like that? Amazing, that age and the performance he put in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing, that age and the performance he put inI don't deny the talent, but I struggle with him a bit. He's so WASPY, he often bores me and I end up imagining what Beatty would've done with the role. Newman brought a certain verve out of him in Sundance and The Sting, that I find lacking a lot of the time elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand completely what you're saying.I would never put him in the upper echelon of actors..he's more of a movie star but he does have talent.A lot of his movies of the past 30-35 years are very same-y feeling. He always seems to be on the run from something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
