The only one I’ve seen is Silver Linings Playbook. I’d say: Great acting; enchanted by story. I think I liked it more than you did – I’ve seen it twice.
I liked it a lot and thought the acting was superb. I was totally ok with Jeniifer winning the Oscar – although I thought Jessica deserved it more 🙂
Silver Linings Playbook: Jennifer dances and Bradley romances
Les Miserables: Anne cries and Hugh dies
You were on fire this morning 🙂
I only saw Contagion: It was all Gwyneth’s fault.
Can you tell I’m not a fan of her? Happy Friday friend!
I love this one! I’m not a Gwyneth fan either 🙂
Silver Linings Playbook: Touching story. Humanity rises above.
Les Miserables: Despite tragedy, good people exist.
Contagion: We are 24-48 hours from dying….
Watching Contagion made me want to hibernate with my guys for a while!
I’ve only seen one but look forward to more!
Contagion – So creepy! Bad germs, bad!
It was creepy!
Ack! I haven’t seen any of these yet.
Silver Linings Playbook: Outstanding; performances, story and romance.
Contagion: scariest horror film I’ve seen
Les Miserables: Astounding and breathtaking; wrenches heart
The Big Year: Quite silly, yet delightfully entertaining
I love that you called Contagion a horror film! You’re right.
I loved Silver Linings Playbook and must see Les Mis!!!
I haven’t seen any of these, but thanks for reminding me of The Big Year, I wanted to watch that one.
Anytime.
Awwww, I loved The Big Year.
Cute, crazy fun chasing birds
Of course you would love The Big Year! 🙂 I liked it but I did think it was a bit of a waste of 3 comedic gems. The birds were the best part!
Can’t wait to see Silver Linings Playbook and Les Mis
Contagion: A germophobe’s nightmare come true
Five Year Engagement: laughter, tears, finally get there
Yea, I’m still not sure I actually liked the 5 Year Engagement. It was so much more serious than I thought it would be.
I’ve only seen Le Miz and was underwhelmed with the singing, but enjoyed the visuals. I love, love the theater production.
That’s how I thought about it too. I’m hoping to get that posted on Friday. I saw both in a 24 hour period 🙂
A B for Silver Linings Playbook!????? HARUMPH!
