Best Picture Nominees Announced!

Since this is allegedly a movie review blog, we feel it is our duty as civic servants to report on one of the most important movie days of the year, the Oscar nominations. While admittedly we collectively have not seen all of these yet, that won't stop us from at least allowing our readers a sneak peek at this year's contenders.

I'm Miserable:  It's a musical...with Russell Crowe...singing! Movie poster here!

Linkedin: Daniel Day Lewis in a gritty performance as a seasoned professional with over 18 years of experience in financial services and customer service, and over 300 connections. Of course we know how it ends, his account is hacked by an evil corporation, the dental company John Wilkes' Tooth.

Django Unchained: Read my review here!

Like of Pie: Vivian Sinclair stars in a touching tale of one woman's quest to construct the perfect peanut butter pie.

Beasts of the Southern Wild : Read Paige's review here!

(F)Argo:  It was an idea so crazy it was bound to work. A CIA agent (Ben Affleck) attempts to rescue a group of Americans from Iran by pretending to be a Coen brother putting together a film crew for a re-shoot of Fargo. Tragedy ensues when Steve Buscemi's character must be sacrificed in a wood chipper.

Amour: Mal être honnête, je n'ai rien à dire.

Sliver-Lined Playbook: In a topsy-turvy, post-apocalyptic world, a football coach battles multiple slivers and searches for love, and tweezers, in an epic race against time.

Zero Dark Thirty-Rock: Yet another gem from director Kathryn Bigelow. When all military options have failed, only one option remains: Tina Fey. Even Osama Bin laden is not immune to her acerbic wit and sexy glasses.
