Feature Film : Boyhood
Not only is this film filled with amazing actors, but this film took 12 years to make! You have obviously heard of this film, unless you live under a rock, and know how many awards this film is up for including some Oscar nominees.
Feature Film : Whiplash
Here’s our Feature Films (Oscars) continued!
Now who hasn’t had a crush on Miles Teller this last year? He has starred in several feel good movies such as Two Night Stand, That Awkward Moment, and who could forget his role in Spectacular Now? He is the Chandler Bing of his generation, and who doesn’t love Chandler Bing? But, Whiplash is a total change of character for him, he plays Andrew, a young drummer who enrolls in a cut-throat music conservatory and is mentored by an instructor who will stop at nothing to realize student’s potential. This instructor is none other than Oscar nominated J.K. Simmons (who you might recognize from his stint in Juno) in his mind there are no lines to cross, and if you do not play by his rules then he will make you look like a fool before he kicks you out of the room! Let’s just say he isn’t the nicest of guys (plus his bald head, muscles, and black ensembles make him look intense and terrifying). I may be biased saying I love this movie because it is following a drummer and the hard work that goes into that industry (granted I only played instruments for a few years as a teen, but never to this extreme). Hats off to you Miles Teller!

Feature Film : Begin Again
This is a truly stellar movie, there’s songs that literally describe your life, there’s humor that is dry and sarcastic, it has been nominated for an Oscar, and there’s Adam Levine (need I say more?). Instead of describing what it is about here is the trailer and a couple of my favorite songs from the film! … Enjoy!
Feature Film : Gone Girl
Here is yet another Oscar nominated film, Gone Girl. Based on the novel by Gillian Flynn (AH-MAZE-ING book) “Amazing Amy” is missing and is suspected to have been killed by her husband Nick (Ben Affleck) who slowly starts having secret after secret come out at the worst possible time! If you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, then this is on the top of your To-Do before the Oscars…then you will see and understand why Rosamund Pike is nominated for Actress in a Leading Role! …MIND BLOWN…
Feature Film : The Theory of Everything
This film is one for the books (seriously, better love story than any Nicholas Sparks) it follows the life of famous physicist Stephen Hawking and his wife Jane (Felicity Jones…her name alone screams hollywood star). Eddie Redmayne plays a striking version of the young Stephen as he battles with a fatal illness while attending Cambridge in the 1960’s. Eddie’s progression of Stephen’s battle with this disease is absolutely captivating. He truly deserves the Oscar for Actor in a Leading Role, alongside Felicity Jones for Actress in a Leading Role, Best Picture, Music, and Writing ; the only snub for this film was Costume Design (coming from a Fashion Design Graduate) the clothing was simply perfect!
But seriously can we just take a second to look at this gorgeous man!
