Oscar Crash Course – 2008 Best Picture
Not sure what to do this weekend and thinking about going to a movie? Let me give you a crash course on the five 2008 Best Picture nominees:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Brad Pitt is born old and “grows” younger. Warning: it’s almost 3 hours long!
Frost/Nixon – A recreation of the television interviews between David Frost and Richard Nixon.
Milk – Sean Penn starring as the Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to win public office.
The Reader – Kate Winslet in the movie NOT co-starring Leo DiCaprio. Set in Germany in the ’50s, Winslet’s character has an affair with a 15-year-old and she has some great affect on history.
Slumdog Millionaire – A dirt poor boy from Mumbai keeps winning on a game show thanks to coincidental questions that mirror his past, explained through flashbacks. It’s a depressing and uplifting movie at the same time, a great way to spend a couple hours, and the only movie of the five I have seen so far.
