As to The Butler, I was really disappointed. It just seemed to drag on and on and its message - whatever it supposedly was - was lost on me (unless of course we're talking white man continues to treat black man like second class citizen, in which case, I definitely 'got it'). Definitely not the inspiring story I had hoped for.

I watched Gravity shortly after it came out. The first time, I didn't like it all and really didn't think there was much to it; I didn't like the drop off at the end, although Stone prevails against the odds. Then, I saw it again the other night and did a 180. It is excellent really with incredible effects. Gravity is not my choice for Best Picture or acting. But it does have my votes for Sound, Editing and Visual Effects. It is up 10 Oscars.
