THE Oscar

Well another year of Oscars are history, and as usual, I had not seen enough of the Acadamy Award nominees to judge, and those that I DID want to win did not.  I still think Meryl Streep was incredible in Julie and Julia, but then, maybe the Academy is just weary of honoring her year after year. Maybe they should just create a Meryl Streep award and give her that each year for her superior work, and then get on to giving out the also-ran awards to all the other folks in Hollywood.

Perhaps I’ll try harder to see the new movies next year, and we’ll give the Traveler’s Library Best Movie Destination award. What do you think?

Meanwhile, here are two very thought-provoking lists of movies that make you want to go there from one of my favorite sites, Go BackPacking.  I know these lists have exteneded MY Netflix list a bunch. Enjoy!

Oh, and before you go, please note that my favorite movie site, Film Gecko has moved to this location. Jane Boursaw stays right on top of things, and by golly she even  picked Hurt Locker (filmed in Jordan)as best picture when everyone else was betting on Avatar (filmed in the imagination of creator James Cameron)!!.

Now, heeeeeeeere’s Go Back Packing:
