Makin the Oscar Picks

It's been a great year for movies.

There was a movie for everyone this year.

(Even people in Utah.. as 4 of the nominees for best picture were not rated R.)

From Facebook to the Wild West.

From Ballet to Stammering Kings.

From Toys that made us cry to another Boxing movie.. that was actually still good.

These are my picks.
