I did it! I saw all 9 of the films up for Best Picture! It wasn’t easy, but I did it. Here are my reviews of each in 4 sentences or less:

• Life of Pi: The film was beautiful and worth seeing in theaters to catch the 3D version. Should it win best picture? Probably not, but it was still a good movie.
• Lincoln: I know, people loved this movie, I just wasn’t one of them. I’m just not that into history and may or may not have fallen asleep during it. If you’re into these kinda films, sure, go see it. If you’re not, don’t bother (unless you need a nap).
• Silver Linings Playbook: Loved it. Love Jennifer Lawrence and thought it was a very unique story. Would be fine to rent though, no need to rush to theaters for this one.
• Beasts of the Southern Wild: Pretty cool film. I think it’s worth seeing. It’s available On Demand so check it out at home.
• Argo: So good, definitely a must-see. Really liked it.
• Amour: NEVER SEE THIS MOVIE. I saw it last night and oh man, probably the most depressing horrible movie I’ve ever seen. Seriously, not one uplifting moment in this film- I repeat NEVER SEE THIS MOVIE.
• Django Unchained: While this film is a little bloody for my taste, I liked the story and thought the actors were great. I recommend it.
• Les Miserables: Another movie I really enjoyed. I saw the show on Broadway and am a huge fan of the music so for me, this was a great film. If you haven’t seen the musical and don’t know the music I’m not sure if you will feel the same love for it.
• Zero Dark Thirty: My pick for Best Film. I really liked it and even though you know how it ends it still keeps you on the edge of your seat. Go see it!
