I'm on a mission to watch all the "best picture" nominations. Went to the movies on sunday after training with my mom and saw " Life of Pi ". It managed to make us both cry and not just once. A beautiful story about faith. Great acting, great visuals and Ang Lee has created an incredible movie that leaves a lasting impression. "Faith is a house with many rooms." "But no room for doubt?" "Oh plenty, on every floor. Doubt is useful, it keeps faith a living thing. After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it's tested." " Silver linings playbook ". Been wanting to see that for ages, especially as Bradley Cooper is in it, but it was a good, sweet, messed up movie. It is not typical for a romantic drama/comedy to be nominated for 8 oscars including the best picture. " Les Miserables ". As I like musicals, I enjoyed it. It was slow but also had the intensity and heartbreaking moments. Anne
