Oscars 2015!

[Edward J Grug III]

I was really happy with this year's Oscars - It's a rare year where my favourite movies win most of the awards. I think Redmayne did a fantastic job in a movie I hated. Other than that, I am pretty much on board.

I probably would have given either director or best picture to Boyhood for sheer achievement, but I did like Birdman better.

I've never been that interested in biopics anyway.  I was only ok with A Beautiful Mind.

Yeah, biopics are rarely that interesting.

The guys that wrote Ed Wood, The People vs Larry Flint and Man in the Moon make compelling biopics. Hence I am interested in a new Tim Burton movie for the first time in many, many years.

Are you talking about Big Eyes?  That was a decent movie but certainly not on par with the others you've mentioned. I didn't know that it was written by the same people.  Christoph Waltz was fun and Amy Adams was OK, but it was pretty unremarkable overall.

I am, and that's a shame. (I doubted it would be as good, because Burton is just a parody of his former self now)
