Jui’s Reviewies: At the Academy Awards

Read Time:4 Minute, 13 Second

Who among us has time to watch all the nominees for Best Picture this year? With only a couple weeks until Oscar Night,  our six-year-old reviewer has culled the selection down to the ones that looked the most interesting to him.

The chore of watching trailers for all ten movies up for the Best Picture Oscar was more than Jui could handle, so we let him stop watching whenever he got bored.  With the exception of Toy Story 3, which is excluded as he saw it in the theater, owns the DVD,  and is obviously biased, here are his Academy Award picks.

The Social Network : “What- that looks like Facebook. It IS Facebook! Wait, is this whole movie about Facebook?  There is that guy from Zombieland! Are there zombies in it? Then I don’t want to watch it. next.

The Kids are All Right: There’s hugging already! This is stupid. AUGH! Girls kissing? Why is there got to be kissing? next!

Jui reacts to more girl kissing…

Black Swan: This is a girl movie I can tell because there is ballerinas in it. Next. But Princess Amidala is in it- recognize her? Is Anakin in it? No. Are there lightsabers? No. Next!

Saddened by the absence of lightsabers in Black Swan

Winter’s Bone: I don’t get it. Is that cop suppose to be a bad guy? (sigh) Next.

The King’s Speech: Augh- lame It is SO boring. Next!

127 hours: (watched most of trailer) Whew! for a minute I thought he was going to kiss those girls. Is he going to die?

No this is a movie about a real boy who got trapped just like this and had to saw off his arm to get away.

You mean they are going to show it? Does he use that knife?  He should have taken a samurai sword instead then he could have hacked it off  with one hack!

I can’t believe he didn’t use a sword instead

The Fighter: (watched all of trailer) What did you think? Would you like to see the movie?

It was DUMB! Don’t ask me why.

OK I’ll tell you why. There was a whole movie about guys who are brothers beating up other guys, and one didn’t win, and the other went to jail but they kept fighting anyway.

DUMB! Plus nobody has their shirts on.  Don’t they ever wear clothes? Then the whole thing was ruined.

Why?

You know why. There was KISSING in it! It is a movie about FIGHTING! It’s not suppose to have kissing in it!

The Fighter: A good movie ruined by kissing

Inception: (watched trailer 3 times, pausing it at “the good parts”) That is really cool!

So you could make up your own dreams whatever you want and have good dreams all the time!

Then you could have machine guns in the dream, but not really kill people, because it is just a dream. Like a toy machine gun, but it would be real! See that guy with the cool jacket?  (pauses trailer) I want him.

You mean an action figure of him?

Yeah- plus I want him to have all the guns.

Inception got two thumbs way up!

True Grit: (watched trailer twice) Well, that was awesome! That guy with the patch, his name was Rooster?

Yes. Did you like him?

He was really funny- and grundly- and cool because he was good at shooting bad guys even though he had only one eye. I would like to go riding horses with Rooster to catch the bad guy, but not because he killed my dad.

Could you tell from the trailer that Rooster was a good guy?

He was good even though he was always shooting people.

You know what? “Rooster” is a funny name, and it would be funny if he was really like a real rooster, and instead of shooting people he kicked them until they fell down then pecked them in the head! That would be hilarious.

Rooster is awesome! Two thumbs up!


Which one of these movies should get win the Oscar?

Is that the naked trophy man?

Yes- that gold statue.

I think Rooster should get one.

But what movie- the whole movie- did you like the best?

That one with the dream guys probably. That one is the coolest!

If you had to watch one other movie besides the dream movie and the one with Rooster in it, which one would you pick?

That one with the guy slicing off his arm. But I wouldn’t watch that part. I might throw up.

127 hours? Too gross!


Jui’s Picks: Inception, True Grit, 127 hours, Toy Story 3

Jui warns not to watch these at all because they will have kissing: Black Swan, The Kids Are All Right, The Fighter
