Oscar Watch #2: Silver Linings

Go see it. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper were sensational. It feels so nice to watch a movie that doesn't feel like watching a movie. I mean you want to be taken away and entertained but also be able to suspend disbelief long enough to forget it's a movie. It was really good. I think it's the best role I've seen him in. And she's just good. She hasn't not been good ever. They're just crazy enough to remember they need help, but sane enough to not scare you. It's funny. It's heartbreaking. But ultimately, it's happy and feels good. And I'm the kind of person that needs to ultimately feel good. If there's pain in the middle, there has to be happy at the end. And there was. Go see it.

  1. It's on my redbox list for sure, along with Trouble with the curve and Argo. Can't get to the theatre very often but looking forward to a happy ending.

    1. It was surprisingly good. Don't miss it. You still haven't seen The Fighter, have you? Rent it today. It will have personal significance for you.
