NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE OSCAR NIGHT

As I had seen "Birdman", "The Imitation Game" and "Joanna" before and none of them delighted me, this time I saw 2 out of the 5 marathon movies only.

AMERICAN SNIPER

Watchable. Begins like an ordinary war movie but later throws you in the middle of it, showing how merciless it is. Chris Kyle is cheesily pure here but the long-term rivalry between him and Mustafa keeps you on the edge of your seat. I wouldn't mind it if it won an Oscar.

IDA

Recommended. Shot in modern quality black with stylish acting it has a lot of character and the forest views resemble artistic woodcuts. Storywise, well, I admit I didn't expect a nun's story to move me but it's more of a life journey here.
