Hurt Locker was above average, great acting but not worth the hype.

Heres how I rate last years Oscar nominations in order from best to worst:

A Serious Man - Subtle yet masterfully underplayed

Precious - Incredibly heavy film (excuse the pun)

Inglourious ****s - The Christoph Waltz show

Hurt Locker - Well acted

District 9 - Unique

Avatar - CGI vanity piece

The Blindside - Wut

*Didnt see "An Education"

He was awesome in that role... and then he got a swastika carved into his forehead.

I couldn't help but bust out laughing when Norman Bates came out of nowhere, dressed like his mother and cackling. It wasn't supposed to be funny, but it's so cheesy today, tears were coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard. My professor shot me a look but then couldn't help cracking up himself. I had the whole class rolling and we went back to that scene and watched it twice more for laughs.

HA, I know exactly what you're talking about. The over-the-top music and the drawn out knife sequence add to the humor, too

Taking a film class this semester, so far we've watched...

City Lights by Charlie Chaplin - silent film, laughed a little and then fell asleep

Casablanca - unmoved by romanticism, would've flown away with the girl

On The Waterfront - "I could'a been a contender!", pretty good movie with pigeons

Psycho - best out of the four, a genuinely creepy plot with the whole mother/son insane relationship
