Kaio watches the 10 Oscar nominated movies for best film

In alphabetical order.

127 Hours
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King's Speech
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter's Bone

Well I won't watch TS3 and Inception again since I've already seen them twice. Inception was a great, complex movie, without being prententious about it and TS3 was an hilarious movie with an incredibly emotional ending.

Now to watch 127 Hours. Also nominated for best actor (James Franco), adapted screenplay, original score, original song and best editing.

127 Hours was REALLY good. James Franco was fantastic and I didn't know he was that great an actor.

I liked Black Swan

Franco has always been great.

He was terrible in Spider-Man 3.

No he wasn't. He was great in all three Spider-Man films.

I was told it had an explicit Nat Port lesbian sex scene, truth?

With Mila Kunis. And then you get to see Nat fingerbang herself basically. Pretty graphic too even if you don't actually get to see it. I suggest watching it alone.

Black Swan was great. Portman's performance was amazing.

The score was really great too and its a good contender for that Oscar together with HTTYD.

James Franco was in Spider-Man?

Harry Osborn.

God my oh, you're right!

Saw Winter's Bone yesterday; fantastic movie. I really hope Jennifer Lawrence gets more work after this, she deserves all credit.

Black Swan was great but man was it fucked up.

In the best possible way of course

The Fighter was fantastic. Christian Bale did his best performance yet and I really hope Nolan will have him do more than just put on a phony rough voice in TDKR, because he can do so much more.

The Kids Are All Right was pretty meh. It's a boring relationship drama, but because there's lesbians in it, the award committees shower it with nominations. Mark Ruffalo was really good though.

So far this would be my ranking:

Toy Story 3 > 127 Hours = The Fighter > Inception = Black Swan >>> The Kids Are All Right

Saw Black Swan recently. Most tense two hours in a long time.
Deserves all acclaim it has gotten.

Just got home from seeing The King's Speech with my mum, since it's mother's day and all.

Definitely movie of the year, just amazing.

King's Speech=Inception>Winter's Bone>Black Swan

For some reason I keep writing "incaption". I'll try to watch Social Network this week, and Saturday I'll watch True Grit.

True Grit was truly gritty, but good fun, and a great western.

King's Speech = Inception > Winter's Bone > Black Swan >= True Grit

The King's Speech was fantastic and the best movie out of all of them.

The Social Network was really good, but not a best picture and a bit too overhyped.

True Grit was badass. Hailee Steinfeld was amazing and I hope she gets through her adolescense without becoming a drugged out partygirl.

I couldn't get through Winter's Bone. Way too dry and serious.

I also rewatched Inception again. Fantastic film and it bumped up a bit on my ranking. I guess the internet backlash got to me in the past months.

Overall, my final ranking goes:

The King's Speech > Toy Story 3 > True Grit = Inception > 127 Hours = The Fighter > Black Swan = The Social Network >>> The Kids Are All Right

You really should watch through Winter's Bone, the ending is touching.
And I found it to be dry and cold and serious in a really, really good way.
