Best Picture Prediction

The Descendents

George Clooney-gorgeous. His clothes-egh. Overall, he is soooo handsome. This will be the taker.

The Artist
Didn't see it. Just watched the preview. Nice to look at-gorgeous period piece. Black and white though-no prize.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Didn't see it. Looks sad. Trailer made it look beautiful. Nice houses and great scenery of New York. Maybe.

The Help

Nice to look at. Emma Stone is gorgeous. No prize though.

Hugo
Didn't see it. Looks like it would be good to look at. Kid as lead character. No award.

Midnight in Paris

Gorgeous footage of Paris. Would be a winner except for the hideous Owen Wilson. He cost this movie the award.

Moneyball
Inspiring. Brad Pitt-fantastic, but bad hair. Philip Seymor Hoffman, no thanks. The clothes the characters wore were terrible. No prize, even with Brad Pitt's fine self.

Tree of Life
Didn't see it. Seemed like it would be exhausting to watch. Heard parts were nice to look at. Not convinced. No little golden guy.

War Horse
Love horses, but not war. I'm a lover not a fighter. Didn't see it. Will not win.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Review

A highly disturbing film. I feel badly criticizing the poor lead character, Lisbeth Salander in the movie because she has clearly had a very hard life, but yuck! She appears as though she would not smell very good at all and I was completely distracted throughout the film by her seemingly non-existent eyebrows. Not for me. However, she does have a gorgeous body.

The Bjurman character– yuck, gross, yuck.

The opening sequence was interesting to look at but unsettling. Knowing absolutely nothing about this movie before I went in, I was very pleased to see that Daniel Craig was the leading man. His eyes can improve any film and he looked terrific in his partially nude scenes. Very nice Daniel, very nice.

The first scene was magical with the beautiful snow falling in the countryside. The home of the character Martin Vanger is spectacular. I would love to live in that house. However, what he has downstairs would be a real buzz kill.

The Devil Inside Review

What garbage! Okay, maybe not total garbage. There was a lovely leading lady – Fernanda Andrade (they should have put her on the movie poster; the current one is revolting). Also, there was some beautiful footage of Italy. However, there are plenty of movies which have lovely ladies and fabulous footage of Italy. DO NOT waste your money on this trash.

Real Steel Review

My, my, my. It was fantastic to see Hugh Jackman in a movie again. A real movie. Not some sort of sill X-Men film where he has ridiculous facial hair. He is a dream. So, so, so gorgeous. I have to say that he looked like he would have been a bit smelly at times, however, I would take a sweaty Hugh Jackman over a squeaky-clean Mark Ruffalo any day. Hugh’s love interest Evangeline Lilly is smoking hot as well so there is great eye-candy in this film for everyone.

There are a couple of downsides to the film. Hugh Jackman’s character, Charlie Kenton, basically lives in a motor-home of sorts, which I’m assuming does not have proper grooming facilities – this is clearly an issue. Also, some of the robots are quite rusty and grubby looking. Also, the gym that Charlie goes to is quite run-down.

I would like to live in this movie just to be able to be with and look at Charlie Kenton everyday and I love boxing. I would just need to have him come to my place which would be clean and have a shower and a bathtub.

The Help Review

A very inspiring movie and a great story of friendship and determination. However, I do not review based on such things.
Hated most of the dresses. Loved a couple of them. Emma Stone is absolutely gorgeous. Kerry Barden and Paul Schnee could have cast a more attractive love interest for her. I would not want to live in this movie – I do not have that much strength of character or fortitude.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Is this going to be the movie in which he finally loses those glasses and gets contacts? Can't wait to find out...

Something Borrowed Review

What a splendidly unrealistic film! The whole ambiance of the movie is sensual. Lovely restaurants, great lighting, gorgeous people. What more does a movie need?

I am a bit concerned that Ginnifer Goodwin is being type-cast as the girl with poor decorating taste. In He’s Just Not That Into You she had the frilly, little-girly type decorating style and I would have to say that in this movie her décor is only a smidgen better. Magnificent apartment with brick interior, nice kitchen (although the stove looked dated), pillars, lovely winding staircase with a nice roof-top area perfect for some sexy time. But sadly, too many florals and a criss-cross woven rocking chair? No thanks. I think a lawyer could afford nicer furnishings (or could hire a decorator at least). That apartment was a superb canvas left to be painted by an unskilled artist.

Now for the other goods. My, my, my Colin Egglesfield. What a fabulous specimen. I love the look of a man in a suit and even more, the slightly undone tie that gives rise to, “Come help me undo this tie and…” Okay, focus. I have not seen him in any other movies so far, but will be keeping my eyes open. Ginnifer Goodwin is cute and lovely in contrast to the sexy, vixen character Darcy played by Kate Hudson. John Krasinski is charming and funny, but does not measure up in the eye candy department.

This movie has much of what this blog feels is important for movie viewing. It gives me comfort to know that movies are still being made about girls who are supposedly the less-attractive type when really they are drop-dead gorgeous. Screw the realism of Indie films and long live the Hollywood beautiful people RomCom!

Okay, this photo has nothing to do with the film, but it's just so fine.
