My 2015 Oscar Predictions
I have never done this before, and I have not seen most of the movies on the list because I just don't have the money for the high ticket prices at the theater, but I do read reviews. So based on the politics and media coverage of the movies I am going to take a stab at what I think the winners are. Of course I am pulling for some of them. But lets whats happens and have fun with it.
I did not make any picks for Technical Merit cause that would be way to much guess work.
My picks are in Italic
Best Picture
Nominees
Best Actor

How Many Movies Can I Watch In A year?
Over the past year in 2014 I read several people on Twitter that said how many movies they watched in a year. I have seen 300, 400 etc. One such person by the name of Charlie Derry who is a bright young talented blog writer in Falmouth U.K. said that she watched over 800 movies last year. Her Twitter ID is @charliederry and if you check her profile she writes for several different blogs in the United Kingdom.
So with That in mind I am going to write a new blog post and update it every time I watch a movie.
I don't think I will get to 800, but I do have over 400 movies in my DVD collection.
So we will see what happens

Marvels Agent Carter, Very Smart TV
Last Tuesday night I watched the two hour premier of a seven part series Agent Carter, and I was entertained. This was a smart compelling story and You felt the presence of Stan Lee. And for a first episode, you did not have that long overdrawn introduction of who the characters are and felt the need to build a relationship with them. Yes it is true we know who Agent Carter is from the Captain America movies, but they did not spend a lot of time in building the story, it was already there but not really.
Obviously Agent Carter and a show like HBO's Game of Thrones is very different, but like Game of Thrones it is not over powered by the Sci-Fi /Fantasy genre, but we know it's there. I got the feeling this is going to be the story of what happen to Agent Carter after Captain American. Now you may read this and say no kidding, but do you remember when Marvel Agents of Shield started? In the beginning I could not figure out where the show was going and almost gave up on the show till after it's mid season break in it's first season. Agent Carter TV series, like Agents of Shield will be part of the whole Avengers story line.
With only watching one episode, I am sorry that it's only going to be a seven part series, but I am glad they are doing that so they don't wear out it's welcome by making episodes just to make episodes. But I will catch all of the series and I hope everyone else will too.
I am also hoping to see more Marvel spin offs. Why? well Law and Order worked on NBC, CSI and NCIS works for CBS, so why not more Sci-Fi on ABC. I think LOST 2004-2010 started it all for ABC. And after only 6 seasons ABC learned there lessons about making episodes to make episodes, but the series was very popular and then came ONCE. In most cases networks are learning to make a story instead of having a weekly series. However I still enjoy the weekly old fashion detective show and if the writing is good, there is no problem keeping that type of series around.
