One Battle After Another (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3014483)
One Battle After Another is the best movie nominated for Best Picture as it is quite exhilarating, funny, and highly entertaining. The performances are great starting with Leo and with Chase Infiniti’s performance being truly outstanding especially for such a young actor. But Benicio steals the movie in the handful of scenes he is in. I liked this movie a lot...9.0/10 stars
F1 has no chance of winning Best Picture, but it sure is an entertaining movie. It’s loud (I’m glad I saw it in a theater) and just a fun movie...8.5/10 stars
Marty Supreme (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32916440)
If Timothée Chalamet doesn’t turn in one of the best performances of his career, Marty Supreme falls apart. He IS the movie and carries it. Yet another Best Picture nominee that is highly entertaining...8.5/10 stars
Sentimental Value (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27714581)
Sentimental Value is yet another Best Picture nominees that has great performances at the center of it. Its two leads played by Renate Reinsve & Stellan Skarsgård (one of my favorite actors) are just fantastic playing daughter & father who have a very complicated relationship. This is a lovely movie...8.5/10 stars
Sinners (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31193180)
Sinners is yet another wildly entertaining movie with awesome performances at the center of it. Horror-themed movies rarely get Oscar love, but this one deserves it as it weaves music, humor, the Jim Crow South, and the supernatural perfectly. I definitely enjoyed it...8.0/10 stars
The Secret Agent (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27847051)
Wagner Moura owns The Secret Agent. This Brazilian movie set in the 1970s is quite thrilling and engrossing and it’s all because of him. I’ve liked him ever since he played Pablo Escobar in Narcos and this role is very different than that one which demonstrates just how good he is. And because of him, I really liked it...8.0/10 stars
Frankenstein (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1312221)
I actually had pretty low expectations going into Frankenstein, so I was pleasantly surprised by it. I honestly did not know the story that well and thought this was a good retelling of it. All in all, it’s a good movie...8.0/10 stars
Train Dreams (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29768334/)
I think if Train Dreams was a bit of a happier movie, I would have liked it more. It’s beautifully shot and Joel Edgerton is great in it. It is a great story about living in the Northwest United States in the early 1900s and I did like it...7.5/10 stars
I thought Hamnet was going to be better than what it was. It’s a good move and I liked it, I just had higher expectations going into it. I did think Jessie Buckley was great...7.5/stars
Bugonia (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12300742)
This movie is batshit crazy and I normally hate Yorgos Lanthimos movies, but I did not hate this one. But I also do not think it should be nominated for best picture, so with all of that said...6.0/10 stars.
