Last week I blogged about one show and two movies I was loving and my Watch List of three movies I was dying to see. I have since checked two of those off my list, and found an amazing sleeper indie.
Friday night I watched Whiplash, and let me tell you it lives up to its hype.
There are a couple intense scenes with flying chairs and forced tears but the movie is amazing and I for one want to know why Miles Teller wasn't nominated.
Also, a good number of the insults are hilarious.
This is a definite have to see Oscar nomination from this year.
Saturday I was in the mood to do nothing so I started trolling for movies. I ended up finding The Paperboy with Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, John Cusack, and Macy Gray. The spark notes version of the plot is pretty simple, a reporter returns to his Florida home-town to investigate a case involving a death row inmate. But he gets so much more than bargained for. I was glued to it. And you get to see Zac Efron in tighty whiteies. Pretty much a win-win for everyone.
Last night, I checked another one of my Watch List movies off, Foxcatcher.
I will warn you now, this movie is slow. Some might call it boring. The film is based off a true story that is actually quite interesting but it doesn't translate into a super thrilling movie. I liked it, but you have to stick with it.
I'm hoping to check Nightcrawler off my list this weekend and then start all over again!
