Movie #2- Silent Film

Should've watched this a long time ago...

Second on the list is a film I should have watched a long time ago. It was after all 2011's Best Picture. Unfortunately, The Arist sat on my shelves for well over a year, and it something I should've have popped into the Blu-Ray player a long time ago.  I don't often watch silent or foreign films because I like to multitask when I watch movies, meaning this one never got the play time it deserved. 

Rating: 7.5/10 

The Artist was such a unique and surprising film, nothing like I expected, also much better than I expected.  Sure it was an Oscar Winner for Best Picture, but when Transformers is one of your favorite movies... you don't always tend to agree with the Best Picture Winners (I'm looking at you Shakespear in Love).  

Going into The Artist, I thought it was going to be artsy fartsy and boring.  The film was farm from that, it was entertaining, comical, dramatic, and most of all engaging (Which is saying quite a bit as a silent film). There was not a dull moment to be found, The Artist will keep you entertained with its good story, great acting, and wonderful music. 

There is so much to say about this movie, I really can't believe I waited so long to watch this wonderfully done film. Enjoyed every aspect of the film.
