Do you have any Bollywood recommendations? I enjoy a good Bollywood movie. I like how silly they are. And the pretty ladies. And all the breaking into song and dance.

Watched Neighbors with Zack Efron and Seth Rogan and it was pretty freaking hilarious. The real standout though was Rose Byrne using her native accent. She was filthy as hell and really funny the whole movie.

A Field in England.

If you like odd movies, if you like incredible atmosphere, if you like folklore, if you like to work a little when watching a movie (ie nothing is explained or laid out) then I highly recommend it. It's one of my very favourites.

The Hurt Locker on Netflix last night.

INTENSE!

Jeremy Renner is probably in my top 5 actors working today along with Benjamin Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

I thought it was pretty great, loved the way it built suspense like you mentioned. It so did not deserve that best pic Oscar given the competition though. The academy was clearly voting with their freedom boners.

Which movie do you think should have won?

Love how they used big name actors in such small roles, i.e; Guy Pierce, Ralph Fiennes, and David Morse. Bigelow has friends in Hollywood.

A Serious Man was my favourite from that year, it's one of the Coen bros' best. I would've been cool with Precious or Inglourious Basterds winning too.

All great movies but I think The Hurt Locker's win was justified. Ridiculously intense acting, excellent screenplay, editing couldn't have been better, and maybe the best action movie cinematography since Saving Private Ryan.

Not saying hands down it was the best, but its win was deserved. It really didn't have any pro-USA agenda stuff going on either.

I'm still going with the freedom boner theory. Have you seen A Serious Man btw? Kind of dry but I thought it was hysterical.

I've added it to my queue.

Was just reading a review of THL and really agree with this:

Quote:

While the audience comes to know the characters through a basic and structurally unconnected series of generally repetitive events, the three primaries are developed to the point that they become reflections of the audience, each undergoing the varying intense physical and emotional turmoil that Director Kathryn Bigelow -- and indeed the hells of war as a general rule and as expertly and horrifically reflected here -- has infused into the picture. Rather than a detached observer, the audience becomes a fourth member of the team, a participant that, despite the relative safety of the theater, comes to feel the anguish, experience the horrors, soar with the adrenaline, and understand the agony of combat and the precariousness of life in constantly evolving and potentially destructive conditions.
