SubscribeI am still trying to catch up on all the Best Picture nominees for the Oscars later this month...here are my most recent movie reviews!
Million Dollar Baby: A-
Great film, very enjoyable to watch with a bit of a twist at the end (so don't let anyone spoil it for you). The acting was great - Hilary Swank was amazing! This could easily be her second Best Actress oscar. Clint Eastwood, who is up for multiple awards, directed, produced and starred in the movie- even wrote the music - is there anything this man cannot do? Morgan Freeman (who is up for best supporing actor) added character to the movie and lightened it up enough to make it easily digestible. The throw away lines were the best part of the movie - you had to pay close attention to get them all. Note: If you are looking for a happy, feel-good movie - this probably is not the one for you! Bring your kleenexes...
Finding Neverland: B+
I really enjoyed this movie - although it also required the use of a kleenex. Johnny Depp was his usual fabulous self bringing charm and depth to his character (up for a best acting Oscar) but I doubt he can win out over Jamie Foxx or Leonardo Di Caprio. Great cast, great acting, but the boy who played Peter stole the show (a supporting actor nod for him would have been nice!). Will this movie win the oscar for best picture? Highly doubtful, but definitely one I recommend seeing.
