We watched a couple of Oscar nominees this week:

Raya and the Last Dragon: Maybe it's because my expectations were low, but I really liked this?? The animation was gorgeous, the pacing was good, and I liked most of the characters. It was a little too long, particularly in the third act, but overall, I enjoyed it.

Having now seen all of the animated noms, my personal fave remains Luca!

Ascension: I didn't know what to expect with this Documentary nom, but I almost immediately found myself thinking back to watching Koyaanisqatsi in film school. It's overwhelming and calming, intense and mellow... a real visual feast. I don't know that I ever need to watch it again, but it was really interesting!

Still have several more films to knock out before the Oscars - might go see one of the shorts compilations tonight.

I’ll be watching the Oscar Documentary Short Nominated films this weekend, as well as the couple International features I haven’t seen (Hand of God, Lunana)

I watched Coda, which is unfortunately the 2nd worst BP nom. Found the story extremely contrived, forced.
BP Noms Ranked:
1. Drive My Car
2. Dune
3. King Richard
4. Licorice Pizza
5. West Side Story
6. Power of the Dog
7. Nightmare Alley
8. Coda
9. Belfast

Oh good grief Mother Schmuckers is a terrrrrrrrible movie. Awful humor, so unfunny.

i saw belfast (boring and disjointed) and the batman (LOVED this and frankly didn’t feel as long as i thought), and i’m seeing parallel mothers this weekend, which i’m very curious about!
