Best Motion Picture Oscar Nominees — Part 2
I challenge you to look it up or find some old tickets in your purse, because I guarantee that there were more than 10 movies that came out last year. Hmm, Avatar? Um…Xman? Any of those ring your bell? I suppose it’s just a way of movie people saying, ‘Oh, we liked your movie, but it wasn’t that good and these were better.’ Most of the people don’t even know they’re not nominated, probably. They get an invite and they’re all ‘Oh, I musta gotten nominated. I should rent a tuxedo and/or dress’ and then they spend all this money to rent an outfit and, guess what, turns out you were just invited, not nominated. It’s like showing up to homecoming because everyone asks what your crown size is and then they elect Gloria %#$@ston because she’s all boob.
127 Hours – This is the James Franco movie. In it, he’s a rock climbing person who spends a lot of time alone, but meets a few girls, then spends more time alone. Eventually, all of his climbing angers God, so God drops a huge rock on his arm. Ouch! Over the next 127 hours, he tries to get loose but can’t, so instead, (and I am not making this up) he cuts his arm off. WTF?
Best Motion Picture Oscar Nominees – Part 1

Actors even give awards to non-actors to show that they appreciate the caterers and whoever holds the microphones.
There are awards for country music, but the only people that watch those are people my parents’ age who are unemployed and hate President Obama. There are awards for plays on Broadway, which, I guess, is okay because it promotes literacy and singing, but I don’t find the awards very interesting. Nope, for me the only awards that matter are the MTV movie awards, the Oscars for television and the Oscars for movies.
The Oscars for movies is coming up and the nomineed movies and people have been announced. A lot of people don’t have time to see all the movies that are up for Best Picture, so I will try to give you as much information as I know, so that you can decide if you want to Netflix it later on.

Movie Review: Let Me In
Usually, when someone says, “Let me in,” it’s because they’re standing outside and it’s raining or cold or they’re afraid of a dog. Now, kids and teenagers are saying it because they want to see the movie Let Me In. Unfortunately, it’s rated R and it’s not like they’re going to ask their parents to take them because they might see a friend from school and then they’d be totally embarrassed. I think the title kind of empowers young people to be able to see any movie they want, to demand their ticket for a movie instead of having to say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’. I think it should’ve been called Let Everyone Who Wants To See It In, but it’s kinda too late to make changes.
Let Me In is a new movie by Chloe Moritz, who played HitGirl in Kick Ass. The movie is about a little boy (who looks like a lot of the Goth girls at my jr. high school before they filled out) who gets beat up because he has no friends because nobody wants to hang out with him because he’s always getting beaten up.
