Obligatory Oscar Post

February 24, 2008

So the oscars are playing tonight and there were a couple of films mentioned that I wanted to recommend to everyone. First up is Juno, a great comedy and not a surprise for anyone, I’m sure. Second up is a little more obscure, a movie called Once. This movie was described by its director as a “visual album” and it’s a very apt description. If you like good music and are something of a sap you’ll love this movie. If you haven’t seen either of these movies yet, check them out.

P.S. As I’m writing this Once won the Oscar for best original song in a movie, it’s well deserved. Juno also has great music, so after you see the movies go out and buy the soundtracks for both these films as well.
