Back in the saddle

I know, I know, I’m slacking on this blog but to the one person that reads this (which is probably me) I’m getting out of my funk and I should be doing this regularly again. Since my last blog, quite a bit of things have been going on in the film world.

The Oscars are right around the corner and in the past, I’ve felt pretty bitter of some of the omissions the Academy has made, but I realize that some of the greatest films ever made either never won or even nominated for one but have been able to stand the test of time(Pulp Fiction lost to Forrest Gump but is widely considered the best film of the 90′s). However, it is interesting to see that they’ve expanded their best picture nominees from five to ten this year and to be honest, they’ve done a pretty decent job of with the selections. The Blind Side not withstanding, pretty much every film nominated seems like a solid choice. I’ll be breaking down the nominees in my next post so until then, ciao.
