Academy Awards

The ten movies nominated for best film.

I have so far seen Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The Social Network, and Toy Story 3. So only six more. Hopefully I can watch/get access to all of them before February 27th which is when the Oscars are.

I am so pumped Toy Story 3 is nominated. Great job Pixar, animated films need more respect.

Updates all around!

So. Last semester of senior year of college. Ouch. I already have so much senioritis and that paired with the fact that I lack academic drive anyway will sure to cause major problems. I always manage to get by though. I am taking one less class than usual because I don't need to take five and I don't have an internship so I will have a lot of free time. Might cause some problems as well.

So far so good at school, my classes are okay, I am looking forward to my Hollywood Genre class as well as my NY in Film class. Why wasn't I a communications major? I could have taken so many more film classes.

Updates in what I am doing/watching/reading/etc:

Books:
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Up Next:
The rest of the Sherlock Holmes novels and stories

Movies:
The Young Victoria (for a second time, it might be worthy of purchase)
Breakfast at Tiffany's (made my best friend watch it)
The Duchess (depressing but pretty good)
Solitary Man (loved the Fordham scenes, but the rest was awful)
21 (I did purchase this and it was as fun as I remembered)
Now and Then (a classic and a favorite!)
The Maltese Falcon (I had to watch it for my class and I actually really enjoyed it, plus that makes 42 of 100 for the top 100 AFI films)

Television:
Skins UK (watched two episodes, it was okay)
Skins US (watched the premiere, it was bad)
The Tudors (up to season 2, so far it is fabulous)
Laguna Beach (re-watched all of Season 1 haha for kicks)
The Cape (pretty good so far but hopefully they find story lines, I feel like they might not)
Being Human US (same as The Cape)

And of course I am keeping up with my favorites.

Music:
Currently on a Florence and the Machines, and Paramore kick

Yeah, I do others things too. Sometimes....
