Godard's Breathless.

Fantastic. The story? meh really, but the interaction between Belmondo and Seberg was captivating. The film was beautiful. After watching, I looked up the background to see what was so revolutionary. Interesting stuff. Ordered Primary from netflix as this was a big influence on the way Godard shot Breathless.

We saw Sessions last night and that was pretty bizarre. Kind of good, definitely a unique premise.

Beasts of the Southern Wild = not a family movie. I tried to budge them off the usual fluff, and it was an awful idea.

I liked it somewhat. It tried too hard. (I guess I liked it ok once my family bailed and noticed it wasn't a disney flick when the kid got slapped around and the trailer caught on fire while the kid was making cat food flambe -or did it?)

The kid is up for acting awards. The Dad was riveting.

Bump up some Beasts of Southern Wild chatter.

Good, but I didn't think it was an oscar-nom worthy pic.

I have no idea who this guy is hosting the oscars. None. And boy am I proud of that.
