Her monthly column, The Reel Deal, has become a favorite of local movie buffs as she's covered a wide range of films including independent flicks, blockbusters and documentaries.
With this week's announcement of the 84th Annual Academy Awards nominations list, we thought it would be fun to spend the next four weeks featuring and reviewing the films nominated in the Best Picture category.
The official awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, February 26th, so we've got just under a month to bring you reviews of the nine films nominated.
Every year I promise myself I'll see more movies, so that when Oscar night arrives I can cheer or jeer with the authenticity of someone who's actually seen the films nominated.
Every year I'm disappointed and have to play catch up as I wait to rent them on DVD.
This year, with Anne's help, it will be different!
This year, join us on the "Road to the Oscar" for Best Picture, so you too can root with abandon for your favorite film!
This year's nominees for Best Picture are:
• The Artist
• The Descendants
• Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
• The Help
• Hugo
• Midnight in Paris
• Moneyball
• The Tree of Life
• War Horse
Enjoy Anne's review of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close starring Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, which ran last Wednesday, and look for more reviews on the homepage over the next four weeks.
The 84th Annual Academy Awards airs Sunday, February 26th at 6:00 p.m. on ABC.
