today is my first day blogging. i thought- enough of facebook status updates and annoying everyone with what i have to say. if you really want to know what i think, you can now read my blog. it is christmas eve, and i am currently sitting in apartment waiting for my jewish friend to have a christmas dinner party--irony eh? as i walk around the city on a night like tonight, its funny to see all these people walking around doing their last minute christmas shopping. i am thankful that i am jewish and dont have to get 25 people 25 different presents. although it would be nice to receive some presents. RIGHT now im in total movie mode- trying to see as many oscar-worthy movies as possible before the big night. saw the blind side yesterday, and wow, what a film. sandra bullock like youve never seen and just a great story all around. i really hope sandra gets a best actress nod- she deserves it. it is common knowledge that actors and actresses get what we like to call "career" nominations, which mean they were necessarily sensational in this role, but they are getting a nomination for their whole body of work, ala morgan freeman for million dollar baby or perhaps, as some would argue (but i disagree) kate winslet for the reader. hopefully going to go see avatar soon-the word ive heard so far is: visually stunning, poor story line. i dont know what to think about that, because i dont think james cameron has made a bad movie EVER....terminator, aliens, T2, the abyss, true lies, titanic (whatever your thoughts are on this, it still won 11 oscars)...avatar just has to be amazing- and i wont think otherwise until i see it for myself.

Up in the Air
Precious
A Single Man
The Road
The Blind Side

Need to See:
