Have you guessed by now that I'm a bit of a movie nut? I don't make it to the theater as often as I'd like these days so I've been doing some last minute cramming to see more of the Best Picture nominees...and now there's 10!! Saw An Education last Sunday - great clothes, okay movie, Peter Saarsgard was too creepy for me...watched the Hurt Locker last night - I really wasn't blown away, maybe too much hype?... I've got Inglorious Basterds on queue for tonight...but I still haven't seen Avatar, The Blind Side, District 9, Precious or a Serious Man...oh well, the kid comes first these days ;) I'm definitely pulling for Up in the Air - ah Clooney at his finest...and doesn't director Jason Reitman seem like such a sweetheart?? Other than that my favorite movies this year were: 500 Days of Summer, The Fantastic Mr Fox, and Bright Star...oh, and I thought The Hangover was hilarious!!
I'll be drinking some bubbly Sunday night with my girls and feasting on some popcorn with truffle salt - heavenly...or trying out this recipe for
Spicy Caramel Popcorn from Smitten Kitchen...yum!!
Here's a little movie quiz I pulled from facebook to get you in the mood - leave your answers in the comments for a chance to win a copy of Casablanca (winner will be chosen at random after Sunday at midnight)!! (I just realized how long this quiz is - answer at least 5 to be enetered...)
