Carlos A Torres – Designer & Photographer

I’ve been able to finally catch most of the films (the good ones) that are nominated for awards during this entire awards season. The Academy Award nominations have not been announced but I’m very close to covering all the SAG and Golden Globe nominees. Here are the ones I’ve seen and the ones I’ve yet to and want to see:

SEEN:
The Hurt Locker
District 9
Inglorious Basterds
Avatar
Up In The Air
The Lovely Bones
An Education
Brothers
(500) Days of Summer
Precious (Based on the book Push by Sapphire)

YET TO SEE:
The Messenger
The Blind Side

Here’s a list of films you should definitely catch in case you haven’t. These aren’t your mainstream sort of fare but more of the independent variety. Great films, great endings and overall films not to be missed although they’ve been way overlooked. Some of these go back a few years but they need to be seen anyway.
