So I never got around to finishing my reviews of all the stuff I saw at Christmas. And seeing how it’s practically February, the Oscar nominations are already out, and I no longer care to write about these movies, here are my reviews in a nutshell:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Watchable, but grossly overrated. No life-changing message, just Brad Pitt as a dude who ages backwards and doesn’t learn anything. 13 Oscar nominations? Really? I hate films that tell you it’s a good movie as opposed to being a good movie.
Doubt: Great acting, kinda’ dull everything else. Meryl Streep is great as the nun hell-bent on exposing Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s priest as the pedophile she suspects he might be. Amy Adams and Viola Davis give great supporting turns as a naive nun and the mother of a troubled student, respectively. All four deserve their Oscar nominations.
Now, let’s move on.
