Alright lets recap....
So my pick for the night was INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. and out of 8 nominations they only won 1!! LAME!!! i guess the academy wasn't feeling quentin this year.
One thing that the academy DID GET RIGHT was AVATAR! i am so happy that they didn't win best picture. they were one that definitely shouldn't have and didn't. they won where they should have won, art direction, visual effects and cinematography. yes they had amazing effects, no it was not a good movie. the academy has spoken...
And Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win best director so that means i'm out >:[ hahahaha....i'll be there some day. She was the big winner of the night, so congrats i guess (should have been QUENTIN TARANTINO)
Speaking of him, i found this in a dollar book store in chula vista this weekend so thats pretty cool. A book about him and his works (circa '95) and the original screen play to pulp fiction.
And over the weekend i saw two movies.....SHUTTER ISLAND and THE CRAZIES.
SHUTTER ISLAND
Alright this movie stars LEONARDO DICAPRIO and is directed by the great MARTIN SCORSESE (director of such greats as The Departed and Goodfellas). Story about a cop who goes to a mental institution for criminals to investigate the disappearence of an inmate, oh sorry "patient". But as the story develops more things come to light and eventually you don't know whos sane whos insane and whos running the place. its one of those stories that leaves you at the end debating what really happened. i can't really talk about it and not give a lot away so just go watch it. i definitely recommend it. i give it a very strong GREAT.
THE CRAZIES
The Crazies is about a town that becomes infected with a disease that just makes you go crazy. Killing people type of crazy. If you're not a fan of ZOMBIELAND or DAWN OF THE DEAD or RESIDENT EVIL, then i dont recommend it. But i like those movies so i enjoyed this one. Its basically the same thing, i've seen this plot time and time again. Nothing special but it was still good. I give it an overall OK.

I so agree with your sentiments on Avatar. I was dreading them giving the award to Avatar for best picture, because it really wasn't. I'm glad, SO glad that it didn't get that award.
UP well deserved best original score since it did have such great flow, and feeling, and the music seemed to speak for the movie itself.
On Shutter Island, the ending was pretty self explanatory I thought. Though Leo didn't get it at first =p But overall, even if somewhat predictable, the movie kept me on my toes and guessing, which I enjoyed. Best movie I've seen this year.
