JPN366 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Haven't seen "Up In The Air," but "The Hurt Locker" and "Inglorious Basterds" were the two best movies I've seen in the past year. Melanie Laurent got snubbed though for an Oscar. Christoph Waltz and her make that movie, plain and simple. "The Hurt Locker" was the truest and most realistic war drama I've ever seen.

southsider2k5 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 09:59 AM) Oscar nominations are out. Here are the 10 up for Best picture: 'Avatar' 'The Blind Side' 'District 9' 'An Education' 'The Hurt Locker' 'Inglourious Basterds' 'Precious' 'A Serious Man' 'Up' 'Up in the Air' I haven't seen a few of these but Up was by far my favorite movie of the year and I would love to see the academy award an animated film. Amy Landecker, daughter of world famous Chicago legend DJ, John Records Landecker is one of the stars of this movie. She was on the radio with her dad this morning talking about it. It was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) If Michael Oher had been the hero, then all the white Christians that were watching it wouldn't come away feeling good about themselves, which looked like the movie's ultimate goal. The movie might have caused those church people arrested in Haiti to go out and save the little "brown ones." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to criticize District 9 for that you have to criticize Avatar for that. Unless you like such amazing dialogue as "You aren't in Kansas anymore", "Why did you save me?" A: "You have a strong heart", or "Then everything changed, I fell in love". And don't get me started on the ridiculousness of the planet coming to the rescue by sending all the animals to stop the humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering the movie is based around mining for a substance that is valuable for an unexplained reason, and that the mining operation is seemingly profitable even though it would take 6 years to transport the unobtanium from Pandora to Earth and then six more years for a ship to return, (six years to transfer new workers, six years for new supplies, etc. I think that reference is the least of the films problems when it comes to stupidity. Well that and floating mountains with freaking waterfalls. Edited February 3, 2010 by whitesoxfan99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
