Gut Feeling Movie Reviews: Oscar Edition

That's right, our favorite (only) running segment has returned. This time I'll be reviewing the five Best Picture nominations. As luck (life) would have it, I have not seen any these fine (above average) films.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

There is some worry that this film will not break even. I think they would have made the dough they wanted and not ruined their "artistic integrity" if they tweaked it by calling it "The Curious Case of Benjamin Butt-Head". You have to admit, a cameo by the great Cornholio would have been tremendous.

For those doing the math at home, Brad Pitt with no shirt is less than a crudely drawn cartoon from the 90's laden with 6th grade humor.

FROST/NIXON

I feel like I've already seen this movie. I believe it was called, "Point Break".

MILK

Was a bad choice...

THE READER

What an exciting title! I'm sure they didn't want to oversell this bad-boy. I would have called this, "Hot Librarians on Roller Skates". I can't promise you it has anything to do with libraries or books...or even roller skates, but it's going to grab the attention of your average meat-head a little faster than what it's got going for it now.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

Spoiler alert...Regis isn't anywhere in this movie. Plenty of people have tried to get refunds after this heartbreaking revelation. They feel they were cheated from his quick wit and zany anecdotes. Otherwise, it's been called, "This years 'Little Miss Sunshine', only a little more ethnic and a lot less Steve Carell".
