It’s time to watch a bunch of
movies again. Last year I saw almost
everything and this year I’m going to try and do the same. I don’t really care for the Oscar’s
themselves because it’s boring but I am a fan of watching good movies and
picking the best. Instead of getting
started, I spent the last two days watching The Wolverine and Elysium, a couple
of movies nowhere near this list. Time
not well spent but I still have 27 Olympics filled days left. I’ll make posts as I watch things and will
make my picks sometime before the show.
