The third film we watched is Midnight in Paris. I think we all enjoyed this movie. It was only an hour and a half long, which about the length of my attention span. It was fun and light and made me want to sign up for French lessons and book a trip to Paris. This is a movie that I could see someone wanting to watch multiple times. Fun!We watched Hugo (in 3D) yesterday. This film was cute, but not something I would want to watch again. It lasted just over two hours, which really pushed my attention span. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I fell asleep for a short time near the beginning of the film. It wasn't boring; I was tired. The 3D effects did add some enjoyment to the film. At one point, I felt like I could reach my hand toward the screen and touch Sacha Baron Cohen's face. Because the film was in 3D, several of the previews were also in 3D. I liked Titanic when I saw it fifteen years ago (geez, I can't believe it has been that long!), but the 3D preview almost made me sick. Everything was moving too fast or something because I thought I was going to be sick. I finally had to close my eyes.We've seen the following Best Picture nominees:- The Artist
- The Decendants
- The Help
- Hugo
- Midnight in Paris
- Moneyball
We still need to see the following nominees:
- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
- The Tree of Life
- War Horse
Honestly, I'm not all that excited about seeing the last three movies. I've heard War Horse is very slow. The previews of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close didn't interest me. I know nothing about The Tree of Life.
