Filmspots 2009: Nominated Films Checklist

You'll have almost four weeks to catch up on these films before final ballots are due (probably February 26).  What's your to see list look like?

Crazy Heart
An Education
Food, Inc.
Of Time and the City
Ponyo
Precious

I started Bright Star but got called away.  Looking forward to finishing it.  I think I'll be able to see the rest this month, too, assuming Bad Lieutentant and Precious are still available.

18 in total I haven't seen. Some I'll get to. Some I really won't. I suspect Dear Zachary and 24 City. Some others I might only get to right before the deadline.

Moviefone says it'll be at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque next week (playing with Ozu's Late Spring on Friday).
