Each year, Justin and I watch the Academy Award Best Picture nominees with another couple. We started this year's movies with The Decendants. I enjoyed the movie and everyone else seemed to, too. It was a drama, but had a few comedic moments. I recommend The Decendents. One downfall was that I left the theater in tears. Sad things make me cry.
The next movie we watched was Moneyball. Moneyball is a movie that I enjoyed, but would most likely not watch again. I can certainly see why this movie was nominated, but I think I enjoyed The Decendants more. Of course, watching Brad Pitt for a couple of hours isn't all that bad.
The third movie we watched is The Artist. I did not realize this movie is a silent film. There were no spoken words throughout the entire movie! It was also in black and white. Criticize me all you want, but I am not a fan of black and white films. Honestly, the movie lost my attention after about thirty minutes. We went with a group of five other people and there were slightly mixed reviews. Some liked the concept of the the film but not the storyline. Others thought the film was pretty creative and enjoyed it. And then there is me. I wanted the two hours I spent in the theater back.
