Movie buzz

There are many award shows held throughout the year with The Oscars being one of the most anticipated, as much for the fashion as for the winners. I find that once the award nominees have been announced I become somewhat curious of the Best Picture nominees and even consider going to watch some of them either before the awards or after. This year is no exception, however the only difference is any intrigue or curiosity I had has now been satisfied. Of the nine nominations, I have watched the four movies that I was interested in seeing: Les Miserables, Django Unchained, Argo and Silver Linings Playbook. These movies are each so different, but definitely worth the watch depending on your movie preferences. I would have to say that out of the four, Silver Linings Playbook was my absolute favourite followed by Argo. I had no real expectations for Silver Linings Playbook except that the trailer looked good and that it must be a decent enough movie considering all of the awards it had been winning. Without revealing any of the plot, I thought it was a fantastic movie and I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a better one. The plot, its characters and the actors that play them are a great combination. It is such a funny movie and what I would consider an unconventional romantic comedy with the pairing of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper a dynamic duo. I would even go so far as to say that if someone asked me to go see it again with them I would say yes without any hesitation. I think it is just that good, but enough of me overselling it, you should go check it out for yourself and any other nominees that have caught your eye.
