I enjoy going to the movies and each year I do my best to see all of the Oscar contenders before Award night.  This weekend I managed to squeeze in a couple of movies.  Friday night I saw The Lovely Bones which I found a little boring and far from Oscar worthy in any way shape or form. 

Saturday night I headed to the Americana and saw Crazy Heart which I thought was quite Oscar worthy.  Jeff Bridges did a great job and so far I am rooting for him in the best actor category.  Maggie Gyllenhaal was also great however I am a bit on the fence on the best supporting actress category because I really liked Anna Kendrick in Up In the Air.

So this weekends review is a Thumbs Down for The Lovely Bones and a Thumbs up on Crazy Heart.
