Oscar run-up

It's that time of year again. When I hear the Oscar nominations and think, "Oh my God! I'm behind in my movie habit!"

This weekend I caught 2 flicks.

Slumdog Millionaire - this will stay with me for a long, long time. A brutal, vibrant, agonizing and miraculous tale. It deepens my desire to go to India. Worthy of a best picture nomination.



The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - A wonderful story, beautifully shot. It is about time and how nothing ever stays the same. I loved this like I loved Forrest Gump. It made me cry and laugh. I'm glad I saw it with my kids, my friends and Bob all of us together thinking about how much I need to appreciate where I am now.



Next up: Milk
