re: Watched Fruitvale Station This Weekend

This was a really good film. I sat watching with a sense of dread, knowing how tragically it would end.

There are plenty non fiction movies made where the audience knows an awful ending is on the way, but you're still able to lose yourself in the movie until the end comes.

The ending kind of lingers over Fruitvale from the very beginning and stays there throughout. At least it did for me, and that made so many scenes that much tougher to watch.

While it might not be Best Picture worthy by normal standards, I'm drawing a blank on the "great" films of 2013, so far.

Same in the acting categories. I think both Jordan and Diaz deserve nominations, at least. People may brush off the idea of them winning, but we're over half way through 2013 and what are the unbelievable standout performances of the year so far?

Im less than an hour out of this movie so i'm sure i'm forgetting people, but I haven't seen the performance(s) that upstages Jordan or Diaz. Not yet.
