Am I really the only one that thought Lincoln was over-long, bloated, a bit boring and horribly sentimentaloid? I mean, I'm a lowly Mexican so by default I wasn't gonna worship at the altar of 'mythical' US presidents, but oh god, was I bored. Good acting, yeah, but not my cup of tea.

Zero Dark Thirty was also quite 'let us chant USA!!i!' but it was a bit more honest, I'd say, and it was closer to the characters so it was a lot more intimate. Also super suspensful and superbly done.

Silver Linings Playbook was adorable, sweet and cute, but not best picture material.

Argo was seemingly good but I saw it with horrible sound and totally random subtitles so I had no idea what was going on at any time.

Django Unchained was controversial for the sake of being controversial but dammnit, was it an amazing movie. The sheer ridiculousness of it added to the performances, music, look and story, I just really loved it. Also, Jamie Foxx was so hot it was hard to believe. Was it a story that was a POC's to tell? Yeah. But it's Tarantino, he lives to be a dick.

Life of Pi looked beautiful, but it lacked a bit of the heart of the book. I haven't seen Amour, Beasts of the Southern Wild or Les Misérables, though I look forward to them. Especially Beasts of the Southern Wild, hopefully it'll open here soon.
